J. EWING RITCHIE,
AUTHOR OF THE "NIGHT SIDE OF LONDON."

"Oh heavens! from the Christianity of Oliver Cromwell, wrestling in
grim fight with Satan and his incarnate blackguardisms, hypocrisies,
injustices, and legion of human and infernal angels, to that of
eloquent Mr. Hesperus Fiddlestring, denouncing capital punishments,
and inculcating the benevolences, on platforms, what a road have we
travelled!"--CARLYLE'S LATTER-DAY PAMPHLETS.

Dedication

TO JOHN R. ROBINSON, ESQ.

DEAR ROBINSON,

In dedicating to you this edition of a Work, the contents of which
originally appeared under your editorial sanction, I avail myself of one
of the few pleasures of authorship. Of the defects of this little Volume
none can be more sensible than myself: you will, however, receive it as a
trifling acknowledgment on my part of the generous friendship you have
ever exhibited for an occasional colleague and

Yours faithfully,
J. EWING RITCHIE.
