The Story of a Bad Boy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Story of a Bad Boy

The publishers of the present new edition of The Story of a Bad Boy have requested my agency in the matter of procuring from the author a few lines by the way of introduction. It seems to me that the Bad Boy requires no introduction to a public that has tolerated him from upwards of twenty years. Moreover, I am no believer in prefaces. The author who has not been able in the course of several hundred pages to say what he had to say is not likely to accomplish that feat in narrower compass. On consulting with the Bad Boy, I find this to be the view which he himself entertains.
