THE LIFE OF

SIR RICHARD WHITTINGTON.


CHAP. I.

How, Whittington, being born of unknown parents, was left to a
desperate fortune, and rambled the country till necessity and fear
made him come to London.


CHAP. II.

How, at the instance of Mrs. Alice, the Merchant's daughter, he
became a servant in the family under the cook maid, who used him
cruelly, and how Mrs. Alice took pity on him, and interpos'd her
authority.


CHAP. III.

How, lying in a garret, he was ready to be devoured by rats and
mice, and to prevent it purchased a cat with a penny given him for
cleaning shoes; and how, with the servants, he adventured the cat,
being all his stock.
