Review:
As for having characters lecture on life, what a vice it is! And always unsatisfactory, even in the hands of Dr. Mann. Peacock and the early Huxley did it best... THE NEW YORKER
Synopsis:
The place is quite a wilderness, said Squire Headlong: "for, during the latter part of my father's life, while I was finishing my education, he troubled himself about nothing but the cellar, and suffered everything else to go to rack and ruin. A mere wilderness, as you see, even now in December; but in summer a complete nursery of briers, a forest of thistles, a plantation of nettles, without any livestock but goats, that have eaten up all the bark of the trees. Here you see is the pedestal of a statue, with only half a leg and four toes remaining: there were many here once.
