Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Shewing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him By; To Which Is Now Prefixed a Shabby Genteel Story There is an autobiographical interest in philip, indi cated by Thackeray's statement to Mr. George Smith that the hero in certain numbers will, entre now, take pretty much the career of W. M. T. In the first years of his min and absurdly imprudent marriage; but the statement must be taken in a very general sense. Cer tain of the Paris passages are frankly reminiscent; and if such a one as the capital scene in the British Embassy does not repeat actual experience, it probably comes very close to that of the W. M. T. Of those days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Showing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him By As intimated in the note quoted above, Thackeray at first designed completing A Shabby Genteel Story in a formal fashion, but changed his mind and instead revived some of the characters as the Brandons and Mr. Gann in a new novel The Adventures of Philip, which he contributed to The Cornhill Magazine, beginning with the number for January, 1861, the third volume of the magazine, which Opened with the story, and continuing it until August, 1862. Immediately afterward he published it in three vol umes, without the illustrations, dedicating it to his friend.

She does not deserve to have a son! And Mrs. Pendennis looked towards her own only darling whilst uttering this indignant exclamation. As she looked, I know what passed through her mind. She nursed me: she dressed me in little caps and long clothes: she attired me in my first jacket and trousers she watched at my bedside through my infantile and juvenile ailments: she tended me through all my life: she held me to her heart with infinite prayers and blessings. She is no longer with us to bless and pray but from heaven, where she is, I know her love pursues me; and often and often I think she is here, only invisible.

Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ... MORE FRIENDS. 299 CHAPTER XVI. IN WHICH PHILIP SHOWS HIS METTLE. When the poor Little Sister proffered her mite, her all, to Philip, I daresay some sentimental passages occurred between them which are much too trivial to be narrated. No doubt her pleasure would have been at that moment to give him not only that gold which she had been saving up against rent-day, but the spoons, the furniture, and all the valuables of the house, including, perhaps, J. J.'s bricabrac, cabinets, china, and so forth. To perform a kindness, an act of self-sacrifice;--are not these the most delicious privileges of female tenderness? Philip checked his little friend's enthusiasm. He showed her a purse full of money, at which sight the poor little soul was rather disappointed. He magnified the value of his horses, which, according to Philip's calculation, were to bring him at least two hundred pounds more than the stock which he had already in hand; and the master of such a sum as this, she was forced to confess, had no need to despair. Indeed, she had never in her life possessed the half of it. Her kind dear little offer of a home in her house he would accept sometimes, and with gratitude. Well, there was a little consolation in that. In a moment that active little housekeeper saw the room ready; flowers on the mantel-piece; his looking-glass, which her father could do quite well with the little one, as he was always shaved by the barber now; the quilted counterpane, which she had herself made-- I know not what more improvements she devised; and I fear that at the idea of having Philip with her, this little thing was as extravagantly and unreasonably happy as we have just now seen Philip to be. What was that last dish which Psetus and Arria shared in common? I...
