Abstract
Well written, some parts indicating thorough familiarity with the conditions in which the hero moves, others rather too dramatic and studied to be more than the author’s conception of what may have happened in certain circumstances—in this work181 we have the autobiographic account of a young, bright, unscrupulous man’s vicissitudes, and of his rise from the humble state of a newsboy and match-vendor to the elevated position of a diputado and a minister of the Crown.
