About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Mr Hogarth's Will by Catherine Helen Spence. For more information about the readers, visit http://librivox.org/mr-hogarths-will-by-catherine-helen-spence/. Jane and Elsie Melville were raised by their kindly but eccentric uncle, Mr Hogarth who believed that women were just as good as men, and thus gave his nieces a boy's education. Upon his death, they find that he has left his entire fortune to his heretofore unknown son and left them only a small allowance, expecting them to make their own way in the world using the education he furnished them. Will the girls survive in a world that expects them, at the most, to become governesses? (summary by Karen Savage)
