''The Miseries of Human Life'' was written by James Beresford (1764–1840) and published in 1806, first as a single volume and then as an expanded two-volume edition later that year. Illustrated by George Cruikshank, it catalogued "in excruciating detail" the "petty outrages, minor humiliations, and tiny discomforts that make up everyday human existence". ''The Miseries'' were written as a series of discussions between Mr Samuel Sensitive and Mr Timothy Testy, in which they catalogue the daily "injuries, insults, disappointments and treacheries" of everyday life. Mrs Testy makes occasional appearances to offer "Supplementary Sighs" from a feminine perspective. ''The Gentleman's Magazine'' of May 1841 described ''The Miseries'' as "an extraordinary success". English poet Richard Henry Horne noted that the book sold "like wildfire". Profits for the book exceeded £5000. ==See also==
