Book Description
Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Showing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him By As intimated in the note quoted above, Thackeray at first designed completing A Shabby Genteel Story in a formal fashion, but changed his mind and instead revived some of the characters as the Brandons and Mr. Gann in a new novel The Adventures of Philip, which he contributed to The Cornhill Magazine, beginning with the number for January, 1861, the third volume of the magazine, which Opened with the story, and continuing it until August, 1862. Immediately afterward he published it in three vol umes, without the illustrations, dedicating it to his friend.
