Barker, M. H. (Matthew Henry)

Sea stories, English; Seafaring life -- Fiction

“Vidocq, during the early portion of his life, was personally initiated
into all the mysteries of crime, and becoming afterward a pardoned man,
and an active and successful agent of the French police in the city
of Paris, ‘girt with its silent crimes,’ as well as its tumultuous
depravities, becomes a fit person to delineate its scenes of vice,
depravity, and guilt. His work is a study for the novelist, the
annalist, the philosopher, and the Christian. But it is a work which
should be read with a guarded mind; with a disposition to profit by its
lessons, and to avoid scenes which have little enjoyment, and which
invariably end in misery.”
