''His First Offense: A True Tale of City Life'' is a novel written by Ruth Lamb and published in 1883. The book is a vivid portrayal of life in the city, particularly the struggles of working-class families. The story follows the life of a young man named Tom, who is forced to turn to a life of crime after losing his job and falling into debt. The book explores the social and economic factors that drive people to commit crimes, as well as the harsh realities of life in the city during the late 19th century. The novel is a powerful commentary on the social conditions of the time, and remains an important work of literature today. Through Tom’s story, Lamb offers a poignant and insightful look into the lives of those who struggled to survive in an unforgiving urban environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
