I am a member of the medical profession, and my name is James Jones. I live in London, and have a considerable practice on the banks of the Thames. I was born in the year 1810, so that I am now turning fifty. At fifteen I became connected with an establishment for the reception of patients suffering from certain kinds of disease, which was founded by my uncle, who left me, at his decease, in 1830, with an income which I connect together for the purpose of enabling me to continue to exercise my profession. I am married to a lady who has presented me with several children, and I can boast of having a spotless reputation.
