Excerpt from The Poacher In which there is more ale than argument, In which the hero of the tale is formally introduced, Train a child in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it, In which the author has endeavoured, with all his power, to suit the present taste of the public, The sins of the father are visited upon the child, The world before him, where to choose, If you want employment, go to London, A dissertation upon pedigree, In which the advice of a father deserves peculiar attention, In which Major M'Shane narrates some curious matrimonial speculations, In which an interchange and confidence takes place, An expedition, as of yore, across the waters for a wife, In which there is some information relative to the City of St. Petersburgh, Going to court, and courting, A run-away and a hard pursuit, Return to England, The day after the murder, A coroner's inquest, A friend in need is a friend indeed, In which we again follow up our hero's destiny, The scene is again shifted, and the plot advances, A very long chapter, but in which our hero obtains employment in a very short time, In which our hero goes on duty.
