Complete and unabridged, with 56 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, John Constable and George Morland. A young man of talent is educated by experience, betrays the girl who loves him, and spends years learning what that cost. Bulwer-Lytton's answer to the German novel of formation, and the most read of his serious books in its day. This edition binds 56 plates after Frith, Hughes, Gainsborough and Uwins, with three restored and coloured illustrations in the text.
