Rufus and Rose Or, The Fortunes of Rough and Ready

In presenting to the public the last volume of the RAGGED DICK SERIES, the author desires to return his thanks for the generous reception accorded, both by the press and the public, to these stories of street life. Several of the characters are drawn from life, and nearly all of the incidents are of actual occurrence. Indeed, the materials have been found so abundant that invention has played but a subordinate part.
