Excerpt from The Man Who Tramps: A Story of to-DayIN writing the story which I here offer to the public I had a higher ambition than merely to amuse the reader. Although I present it as a romance, and expect it to be criticised as such, I hope the reader will find in it food for his reason, as well as pleasure for his imagination. It has been no easy task to write upon this subject, where characters are necessarily drawn from the most vicious classes of society, and avoid that coarseness of diction which would appear naturally to belong to such associa tions. I may not always have succeeded in this, yet I hope the reader will be my witness that I have only used such expressions when they were necessary to the truthfulness of the picture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
