John Marchmont's Legacy, Volumes I-III

A compilation of volumes of the series has been presented in this book. The history of Edward Arundel, second son of Christopher Arundel Dangerfield Arundel, of Dangerfield Park, Devonshire, began on a certain dark winter's night upon which the lad, still a schoolboy, went with his cousin, Martin Mostyn, to witness a blank–verse tragedy at one of the London theatres. There are few men who, looking back at the long story of their lives, cannot point to one page in the record of the past at which the actual history of life began.
