AUTOBIOGRAPHY of a BEGGAR BOY.
From THE TIMES.

We have independent assurance that it is • genuine norm
tive of real life." . . . " His object is to stimulate the toting
to overcome early difficulties and temptations, and his view of
life is accordingly hopeful, though his experience has been che-
quered." . . ' lie surveys with equanimity the three plisses
of his life—the first that of a wandering vagabond, with its
crosses and deprivations ; the second that of an ambitious but
uneducated man, whose energies were misdirected by the agi-
tation for the people's charter ; and the third, in which self-
confidence continued to sustain him." . . . "He describes
what he has seen with sufficient animation to arrest attention.
Ile oleo affords us evidence, which is more valuable, of improved
habits and growing intelligence among the inferior ranks of the
English population." . . . " That he is not a self-conceited
person is evident; in fact we do not remember, out of Jean
Jacques Rousseau, more remarkable autobiographical candour.'
. . . "Our own estimate of the writer inclines us to credit
him with a good disposition, while it is more favourable than
his own in respect of his talents and judgment. His narrative
is certainly worth attention, and we truly hope he may be served
by our saying so."
London: W. TWEEDIE, 337, Strand.
