Milverton reads his essays aloud to two old friends, the sharp-tongued lawyer Ellesmere and the gentle clergyman Dunsford, and after each one the three argue it out in easy, bantering conversation. Truth, conformity, education and the art of living with others are among the subjects, and the talk is often as memorable as the essays themselves.
Victorian wisdom delivered with wit and good humour, a delight for readers who enjoy essays on conduct and friendly argument. Download the free EPUB.
