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
