Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Julius the Street Boy or Out West
I have endeavored, while giving characteristic sketches of Julius and his companions, to show how, in his new surroundings, my young hero parts with the bad habits contracted in his vagabond life, and, inspired by a worthy ambition, labors to acquire a good education, and to qualify himself for a respectable position in society.' Though he may have been unusually fortunate in his new home and friends, the result in his case is by no means exceptional. There are hundreds now living at the West, respected and prosperous citizens, who can look back upon a past as dark, and who owe all that they are to the wise and benevolent society already te ferred to.
