Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 31: January to June, 1881
On the vast plain, surrounding it on all sides as far as the eye could reach, with its forests of trees, its hills and dales, and its sparkling streams of water, sat many a noble mansion of ancient or modern architecture, and Of greater or lesser account and note in the county. Farm homesteads might be seen in plenty, surrounded by their out-buildings, their barns and ricks. Labourers' cottages were dotted about labourers themselves toiled at their several occupations.
