The Complete Diary of a Cotswold Parson: v. 3 Magistrate : The Magistrate

Bok av Francis E Witts
In his forties Francis Witts enjoyed a leisurely lifestyle and by 1825 he was reporting on Parliamentary affairs in detail and reviewing the many books he read, but this declined as his magisterial duties grew. This volume sees many deaths and, as a consequence, Francis becomes the head of his family. However his expectations of inheritance are dashed as his line is excluded in favour of his Uncle Ferdinand's children and grandchildren. Even worse, a debt of GBP800 is called in!
