"Mark, the Match Boy," is the third volume of the "Ragged1 Dick Series," and, like its predecessors2, aims to describe a special phase of street life in New York. While it is complete in itself, several characters are introduced who have figured conspicuously3 in the preceding volumes; and the curiosity as to their future history, which has been expressed by many young readers, will be found to be gratified in the present volume.
The author has observed with pleasure the increased public attention which has been drawn4 to the condition of these little waifs of city life, by articles in our leading magazines, and in other ways; and hopes that the result will be to strengthen and assist the philanthropic efforts which are making to rescue them from their vagabond condition, and train them up to be useful members of society. That his own efforts have been received with so large a measure of public favor, not limited to the young readers for whom the series is especially written, the author desires to express his grateful thanks.
New York, April, 1869.
