Hillingdon Hall; or, The Cockney Squire.
A Tale of Country Life. By R. S. Surtees, Author of “Handley Cross,” “Jorrocks’s Jaunts and Jollities,” &c.
Saturday Review.—“Mr. Jorrocks is one of those evergreens whom age cannot wither nor modern culture stale. ‘Handley Cross’ certainly used to be, and probably is still, the delight of every well-constituted schoolboy; while the somewhat soberer ‘Hillingdon Hall’ should have considerable interest for country folk at the present day, both as a picture of life in the early days of Queen Victoria, and as containing several eloquent dissertations by the hero and others on the effect of the abolition of the Corn-laws upon the agricultural interest.”
