Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Jacques-Louis David, William Powell Frith and Luke Fildes. Two brothers left nameless and penniless when their father dies before he can acknowledge his marriage, and the proof of that marriage that would settle everything if it could be found. Bulwer-Lytton wrote the inheritance thriller before the sensation novelists took it over. This edition carries all five books and sixty plates of painting bound with the text, among them works by Frith, Cruikshank and Linnell.
