Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
The writing is rather too much driven by ideas rather than characters for me, even if I find the ideas he explores to be engaging, some of the characters even border on caricature. Still, a fascinating insight into life in a provincial mid Victorian town, full of details of how people lived, and a insightful exploration of what it means to be a Christian.
