Harley, a shy and generous young man with little money and a great deal of heart, travels to London and meets beggars, swindlers, the inmates of Bedlam and a ruined girl, and is moved to tears by each. Mackenzie presents the story as tattered fragments of a found manuscript, so it begins at Chapter XI, and this edition even includes an index to the tears.
