“I have often heard them say, that the young men at college are uncommonly particular about their night-caps, and that the Oxford night-caps are quite celebrated for their strength and goodness; so much so indeed, that the young men never dream of going to bed without ’em, and I believe it’s admitted on all hands that they know what’s good, and don’t coddle themselves.” — From "Nicholas Nickleby" by Charles Dickens. "Oxford Night-Caps" is part of the Classic Cocktail Guides and Retro Bartender Books series published by Kalevala Books.
