Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Caxtons: A Family Picture — Volume 10" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a Victorian novel first published in 1849. The story follows the scholarly Caxton family through the eyes of young Pisistratus, who navigates his father's academic pursuits, his uncle's military past, and complex social relationships in London. When Pisistratus falls hopelessly in love with his employer's daughter, his life takes unexpected turns involving financial troubles and difficult choices. This domestic tale marked a departure from Bulwer-Lytton's earlier melodramatic works with its gentle humor and light touch.
