Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Telegraph Boy: Or Making His Way in New York
The class of boys described in the pres ent volume was called into existence only a few years since, but they are already so numerous that one can scarcely ride down town by any conveyance without having one for a fellow - passenger. Most of them reside With their parents and have comfortable homes, but a few, like the hero of this story, are Wholly dependent on their own exertions for a livelihood. The variety of errands on Which they are employed, and their curious experiences, are by no means exaggerated in the present story. In its preparation the author has been assisted by an excellent sketch published perhaps a year since in the New York Tribune.
