AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Set amid England's cotton-spinning mills. The youngest son of a prosperous mill owner, far brighter than his yeoman family, finds his place and work as a lawyer - away from the mills. He earns not only his lawyer's wig but the quire's daughter by his valiant study and pleading. The squire's inherited title and honour meets the mill owner's loyalty and money. (PB)
