The history of little Jack . By Thomas Day, Esq. Author of the History of Sandford and Merton. See fortune's scorn, but nature's darling child, Rock'd by the tempest, nurtur'd on the wild! With mind unsoften'd, and an active frame, No toils can daunt him, and no danger tame! Though winds and waves impede his daring course, He steers right onward, and defies their force. Embellished with twenty-two beautiful prints, cut by Bewick.
Day, Thomas, 1748-1789.Date: [1800]
