Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Byeways of Two Cities
Most persons have read 'poor Jack, ' by the celebrated De Foe - a wonderful work, collectively true as to its several instances, though perhaps not the history of a single individual. If De Foe had found, in his day, a response to his appeal on behalf of neglected children, such as we hope may yet be found in ours, England would have been spared much sorrow and much degradation.
