Excerpt from The History of Dick Whittington, Lord Mayor of London: With the Adventures of His Cat
Dick whittington was but a very little boy when his father and mo ther died, indeed so young that he knew neither of them, nor the place he was born in. After strolling about the country, as ragged as a colt, for along time, he met with a waggoner, going to London, who gave him leave to walk all the way by the side of his waggon Without paying a farthing for his pass age, which very much pleased little Whittington, for be sadly wanted to see London; as he had heard the streets were paved with gold, his intention was to get a hat full: but how great was his disappointment to find the streets covered with dirt, and himself.
