Cloth, $1. "A remarkable book in every respect, and curiously interesting from beginning to end. John Brown lived with 'all his might,' and the 'Life' he writes is, in its abundance and variety of tragic and comic ups-and-downs, as good as a play. His experiences partook of all the quick changes and boisterous bustle, and rude humor of an old English fair; and as they are presented in this volume they afford a picture of the times he lived and incessantly moved in, which, in much of its bold handling, is not to be surpassed by less spirited pencils than those of Fielding and De Foe. The moral, even as you trace it through the bustling table of contents, is of unmistakable application for every fine young fellow of sound natural principles who has to shoulder his own way to good citizenship and a share of social influence. "As a neglected child, a 'juvenile offender,' an ingenious vagabond, a, shoemaker, a soldier, an actor, a sailor, a publican, a billiard-room keeper, a Town Councillor, and an author, Mr. Brown has seen the world for sixty years, and he unhesitatingly describes all that he has seen, with fidelity of memory and straightforward simplicity of style." ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE ROMAN QUESTION*** ******* This file should be named 14381.txt or 14381.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/4/3/8/14381 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
