Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fellow Commoner, Vol. 1 of 3
James dillon, known many years to a considerable portion of the comitatus vulgus, under the facetious sobriquet of the Hobgoblin, from his extraordinary adroitness and activity of locomotion, or by the more characteristic cognomen of Slippery Jim, from the eel-like lubricity with which he escaped from the ofii cial clutches of watchmen and thief-catchers, Was born in Plumtree-street, St. Giles's, to wards the close of a hot night in June, some where about the latter end of the last century. He first saw the light in the cellar of a small house, which, with only eight rooms, and these of very moderate dimensions, gave nightly shelter to a hundred and ten squalid creatures.
