When I had established myself in my new lodgings in Camden Town, I found I had ten pounds in my pocket, and again there was no outlook. I examined carefully every possibility. At last I remembered that a relative of mine, who held some office in the House of Commons, added to his income by writing descriptive accounts of the debates, throwing in by way of supplement any stray scraps of gossip which he was enabled to collect.

Unusual novel of the decline of the hold of religion on English towns. Written by White under the Rutherford Pseudonym - Rutherford having supposedly died White took the second pseudonym of Shapcott to edit his posthumous work. George Orwell described this title as 'one of the best novels written in English'.
