Dedication; Book I. Showing as Much of the Varieties of Life as May Be Necessary, in Order to Point Out the Advantages Resulting from a Knowledge of the Numerous Classes of Society, upon the Mind of the Reader, by Way of Preface, or a Prelude to the Work: 1. Or, rather, 'an invocation'; scarcely important enough to be denomination a chapter, yet, nevertheless, thought expedient; 2. A camera obscura view of the metropolis, with the light and shade attached to 'seeing life'; 3. A short sketch of the author's talents in taking a likeness; or, in other words, (and perhaps far more appropriate,) a pen-and-ink drawing of Corinthian Tom; 4. The great advantages resulting from a man's father being 'born' before him, illustrated with some curious facts; and also pointing out that a true knowledge of the world is gained only by conversation, and that the manners of every rank must be seen in order to be known; 5. Corinthian Tom's unceasing anxiety to mix with the world uncontrolled. His acquaintance with young Logic, an Oxonian. Character of the latter. Death of Tom's parents; 6. A word or two respecting 'architects of their own fortunes.' Tom out of his leading-strings. Poetic invocation to the pleasures of life. His hurried entrance into all classes of society. A few additional touches of the author towards finishing Tom's likeness. The impression Tom made upon the Town. Acquirement of his title. A slight glance at Tom's choice of a female - Corinthian Kate; 7. Corinthian Tom's excesses render rustication necessary. A visit to Hawthorn Hall. Jerry Hawthorn's introduction to Tom. Character of the latter. A day's sporting. A jollification at Hawthorn-Hall; Tom's descriptive Song of the Metropolis. Jerry's arrival in London; Book II. On the Difference between What is Generally Termed 'Knowing the World' and 'Seeing Life': 1. Jerry an inmate of Corinthian-House - its taste and elegance described. Useful hints from Tom to Jerry. The latter in training to become a Swell. His introduction to Bob Logic. A ride in Rotten Row; 2. Tom and Jerry visit the Playhouses. A stroll through the Saloon of Covent Garden Theatre. Taking 'Blue Ruin' at the 'Sluicery' after the 'spell is broken up'. A peep into a coffee-shop at midnight. Tom and Jerry in 'trouble' after a 'spree'. A night charge at Bow Street Office; with other matters worth knowing, respecting the unfortunate Cyprian, the feeling Coachman, and the generous magistrate; 3. Tom and Jerry at a Masquerade Supper at the Opera House. An assignation. A lounge in Bond Street. A visit to Mr. Jackson's rooms. Tom, Logic, and Jerry, call upon the Champion of England, to view his Parlour and the silver cup. A turn into the Westminster Pit, to sport their blunt on the Phenomenon Monkey. Finishing the evening, and 'getting the best of a Charley'; 4. The contrast - country and town: evil communication corrupts good manners. A 'look-in' at Tattersall's. Gay moments; or, an introduction of Jerry and Logic by Tom to Corinthian Kate. Tom exhibits his knowledge of fencing in an 'assault' with Mr. O'Shaunessy. Kate and Sue caught upon the Sly, on their visit to the old fortune-teller, by Hawthorn and the Corinthian. The 'ne plus ultra of life in London'. A visit to Carlton Palace by Kate, Sue, Tom, Jerry, and Logic; 5. A short digression, in the shape of an apology, but not intended by way of an excuse, for persons witnessing 'life in London'. Peep-o'-Day Boys. A street-row. The author losing his 'reader'. Tom and Jerry 'showing fight', and logic floored. Honour among thieves. The pocket-book - a rich anecdote; The trio visit the Condemned Yard in Newgate. Symptoms of the 'finish of some sorts of life' in London. A glance at the Royal Exchange. Tom, Jerry, and Logic entering into the spirit of the lark, at All-Max, in the East. Invocation to politeness - a touch of the sublime! The contrast. Climax of 'L

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
