Excerpt from The Smuggler: A Tale
After the tale had penetrated into the little village in which its first scenes are laid, a sanctified and tip sily-inclined butcher of the place ran, one day, after a stage-coach, on which was mounted an acquaintance of the writers', and, .wroth at being pleased to suppose himself 'sketched by their pun, requested the person spoken of to inform us, that some time or other, he would hunt us from Dan to Beersheba. As to people of higher degree, it is known in the town from which we date these lines, that an honourable individual, who chose to see himself reflected in an agreeable scamp of title in our poor Novel, talked even more awfully, though quite as. Harmlessly, as the field preaching Butcher Fell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of class structure and the legal system in England during the 19th century. The author, who comes from a wealthy background, spent years living among the poor and working class of England in order to accurately depict their struggles with poverty and their experiences dealing with a corrupt justice system. The main narrative follows the orphaned Michael Mutford as he grapples with the social and legal consequences of falling in love with a woman from a lower class. Through Mutford and his struggle for justice, the author sharply critiques laws that favored the rich and powerful and highlights the resulting social unrest and moral decay. In combining personal narrative, social critique, and literary finesse, this book offers a thought-provoking and emotionally charged journey into the human toll of societal inequality.
