Remarks

Fuller, a butcher's son of Kent (he can also read and write), makes his living as a cheat. His loosing an eye at pilory, and his nose being seriously deformed in the course of events (things our hero notes with the indifference of any comical hero), does not stop his career. Even with his face deformed he can pose in the most respectable positions to commit his frauds.
