167 pp. 12mo bound in sixes. Engraved frontispiece. From the preface: "The subject of this little story (written for the benefit of the Ragged School at Kirkcaldy) is one of growing interest to all... It is only lately that the door of the school has been thrown open to the children of parents who have themselves grown up in ignorance and vice... it seems as if the 'Ragged School' were the best, if not the only means of saving from crime the children of the criminal."
