Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Peers and Parvenus, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel
Parents of moderate fortune, ambitious of forming good matches for their children. They had made a dash beyond their means, in order to introduce the lovely Emma into society; and thought themselves sufficiently rewarded for their risk when, within a week of his first introduction, young Hillingdon made proposals in form; and, within six, was honoured with their daughter's hand at the altar.
