Hugh Trevor, an ardent and inexperienced young man, sets out to choose a profession and tries in turn the church, the law, literature and the patronage of the great. At every step he meets hypocrisy, place-seeking and injustice, and the novel becomes a broad satire on the institutions of 1790s England.
A radical novel of the revolutionary decade by the friend of Godwin and Paine, for readers curious about the fiction of English Jacobinism. Download the free EPUB.
