Résumé
"Nelson the Newsboy" relates the adventures of a wide-awake lad in the great metropolis. The youth is of unknown parentage and is thrown out upon his own resources at a tender age. He becomes at first a newsboy, and from that gradually works up to something better. He is often tempted to do wrong-the temptation becoming particularly hard on account of his extreme poverty-but there is that in his make-up which keeps him in the right path, and in the end he becomes a victor in more ways than one.
So much for the seamy side of life in New York, which, alas! is by far the greater side.
On the other hand, there are those who are well-to-do and aristocratic who are interested in learning what has become of the boy, and these furnish a view of life in the upper society of the metropolis. How the youthful hero fares in the end is told in the pages which follow. In its original form Mr. Alger intended this story of New York life for a semi-juvenile drama. But it was not used in that shape, and when the gifted author of so many interesting stories for young people had laid aside his pen forever, this manuscript, with others, was placed in the hands of the present writer, to be made over into such a volume as might have met with the noted author's approval.
The other books having proved successful, my one wish is that this may follow in their footsteps. Arthur M. Winfield. June 15, 1901.
