Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cheapside Apprentice
When Potter's apprenticeship ex pired, instead of improving his fortune by throwing it into trade, he plunged at once into all the vices Of the town. He possessed a plausible kind of prate, which caused him to be appointed chairman to our club, which was chiefly composed of clerks and ap prentice boys. Potter's principal'ex cellence consisted in singing a merry song, telling an indecent story, and teaching his hearers to laugh at mora lity, and set all religion at defiance; for religion, he maintained, was only an oldwoman's tale, invented by cun ning heads to keep children and fools in order.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Francis, a young apprentice in Cheapside, London. Through a series of unfortunate events, he descends into a life of vice and debauchery, ultimately ending in a tragic downfall. The author uses Francis's tale to explore the dangers of pursuing pleasure over virtue and the corrupting influence of temptation. The story is set in the 18th century, a period in English history marked by social upheaval and moral ambiguity. The author's vivid descriptions of London's bustling streets, its bawdy taverns, and its dark underbelly provide a glimpse into the social landscape of the time. This book explores themes of faith, morality, and the consequences of choices, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and the importance of personal responsibility. Francis's tale is a cautionary reminder that the pursuit of fleeting pleasure can lead to lasting ruin, and that true happiness lies in a life guided by virtue and faith.
