AMONG other public buildings in a certain town，which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning.and to which 1will assign no fictitious name，there is one anciently common to mosttowns，great or small：to wit，a workhouse；and in this workhouse wasborn；on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat，inasmuch as it can be 0f no possible consequence to the reader,inthis stage of the business at a11 events；the item of mortality whosename is prefixed to the head of this chapten For a long time after it was ushered into this world of sorrow andtrouble，by the parish surgeon，it remained a matter of considerable doubt whether the child would survive to bearany name at all；in which case it is somewhatmore than probable that these memoirs would never have appeared；or,if they had，that being comprised within a couple of pages，they wouldhave possessed the inestimable merit of beingthe most concise and faithful specimen of biographextant in the literature of any age or country.
