About this book

Horatio Alger wrote Risen from the Ranks; Or, Harry Walton's Success. An editor brings his wife a new boarder, a young man who is going into the office to learn printing, and she looks at Harry inquiringly. The editor says he has taken a contract to make a second Benjamin Franklin of the young man. Mrs. Anderson says she is afraid she must give a room in the attic, because the house is small and all the chambers on the second floor are occupied.

The narrator says of Aunt Deborah that she little dreamed that she was the dupe of a designing adventurer who bore no relationship to her. One chapter is headed The Romance of a Ring. A visitor tells Harry he went to school at the Prescott Academy when Harry was in the office of the Centreville Gazette, and Harry exclaims Fitzgerald Fletcher in astonished recognition.
