Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Caxtons: A Family Picture — Volume 06" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a Victorian novel first published in 1849. The story follows the scholarly Caxton family through the narrator Pisistratus, whose quiet country life is disrupted by a move to London. There he becomes secretary to a parliamentary leader and falls in love with his employer's daughter, leading to heartbreak and financial troubles. The novel's gentle humor and domestic warmth marked a departure from Bulwer-Lytton's earlier melodramatic style.
