CONTENTS

TO THE SECOND VOLUME.

CHAPTER I.

The art of hard lying made easy, though I am made

very uneasy by hard lying-I send my ruler as a

missive, to let the parties concerned know, that I'm

a rebel to tyrannical rule---I am arraigned, tried,

and condemned without a hearing---What I lose in

speech is made up in feeling, the whole wound up

with magnanimous resolves and a little sobbing 1

CHAPTER II.

The breach widened—I turn sportsman, poacher, and

desperado-Some excellent notions propounded of

common law upon common rights—The common-
keeper uncommonly savage-I warn him off-He

prophesies that we shall both come to the gallows-

Some men are prophets in their own country—The

man right after all

28

CHAPTER III.

Our last adventure not fatal---Take to my grog

kindly---Grog makes me a very unkind return---

Old Tom at his yarns again---How to put your foot

in a mischief, without having a hand in it---Candi-

dates for the cat-o'-nine-tails

51

CHAPTER IV.

On a sick bed---Fever, firmness, and folly---“ Bound

'prentice to a waterman”---I take my first lesson in

love, and give my first lesson in Latin---The love

lesson makes an impression on my auricular organ---

Verily, none are so deaf as those who won't hear 73

CHAPTER V.

Is very didactic, and treats learnedly of the various

senses, and “human nature ;' is also diffuse on

the best training to produce a moral philosopher-

Indeed, it contains materials with which to build up

one system, and half a dozen theories, as these

things are now made

104

CHAPTER VI.

A very sensible chapter, having reference to the

senses-Stapleton, by keeping his under controul,

keeps his head above water in his wherry-Forced

to fight for his wife, and when he had won her, to

fight on to keep her-No grcat prize, yet it made

him a prize-fighter

122

CHAPTER VII.

The warmth of my gratitude proved by a very cold

test—The road to fortune may sometimes lead over

a bridge of ice-Mine lay under it-- Amor vincit

every thing but my obstinacy, which young Tom

and the old Domine in the sequel will prove to their

cost

142

CHAPTER VIII.

“ The feast of reason and the flow of soul”—Stapleton,

on human nature, proves the former ; the Domine,

in his melting mood, the latter-Sall's shoe particu-

larly noted, and the true “reading made easy” of a

mind at ease, by old Tom
