About this book

That Boy of Norcott's by Charles Lever carries a dedication to Baron Emile Erlanger, signed Charles Lever at Trieste, February 20th, 1869. The dedication says that, through the many anxieties which beset him while he was writing this story, Erlanger's name was continually recurring.

The contents list gives chapter titles including The Trial, With My Mother, With My Father and The Villa Malibran, among others. A speaker sees his father on the box and recalls the proud time when he sat beside him. A speaker says he was, and is, a born gentleman, and offers to tell who he was and how he came to be what he is.
