The article focuses on the book "Wandering Recollections of a Somewhat Busy Life: An Autobiography," by John Neal. The book contains, beside the account of the good old philosopher, much matter of interest as how Neal was a cheating clerk in a store, how everybody admired his sharpness, how he fought many battles, how he went into the dry-goods business with John Pierpont and failed, how he read law-doing four or five years' work in a twelve month, and at the same time writing enough in the papers to earn his living, and moreover studying five or six languages, and so on.
