Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Unfortunate Young Man, or Life of J. Francis Brown, Written by Himself
About this time my family moved to Fiskeville, R. I. W'hen little more than six years of age I was placed at school, but am sorry to say, that like some other boys, I thought more of play than ofmy book. I did not then feel the importance of obtaining an education I have since felt that the golden moments once passed might never return. After spending some time in this indifferent manner my parents, seeing me making but little if any progress in learning, removed me from the school and placed me in the factory. I was pleased with the change, and soon became as export as any of my age at the business.
