Albert Smith
The Adventures of Mr. His and His Friend Jack Johnson
Paperback
(Forgotten Books July 6, 2012)
The system of writing a tale in periodical divisions, wherein one situation must follow upon the heels of another with high-pressure rapidity in which constant change is looked for, and no repose allowed between the prominent incidents of the narrative is not the best calculated to form a three-volume novel. And therefore the Author has made some slight alterations in this story, from its original form in Bentley s Miscellany, in order that the structure might be better adapted for republication. He has endeavoured, in Mr. Ledbury s Adventures, to sketch the manners of certain classes of society, as they actually are not as they are conventionally represented to be; and as they are taken from nature, not individually, but generally, he hopes they will be considered, at least, faithful. If they are thought, in some instances, superficial, or deficient in deep knowledge of human nature, he would only beg his readers to regard the portrayal of his characters as they would the face of a clock; the chief object of which being to convey certain intelligence, provided it does so honestly, the great part of the world cares little by what hidden springs or wheels such a result is produced, beyond the general principles of its action.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
