Complete and unabridged, this edition is sure to become the
definitive modern text of this epic novel from 1888 by Mrs.
Humphrey Ward. This book caused a sensation when it was originally
published, challenging established cultural mores regarding the
practice of religion. This edition has been carefully crafted from
the original with the spelling updated to modern American
standards, and the foreign words and phrases faithfully annotated
so that an English speaking readers may enjoy the work fully
without knowing Latin, Greek, German, or French. This was one of
the most influential books of its time, and holds up well today
both as a compelling story and as a study in late Victorian
culture. ---Excerpt--- About four o'clock on the afternoon of the
day which was to be marked in the annals of Long Whindale as that
of Mrs. Thornburgh's 'high tea, ' that lady was seated in the
vicarage garden, her spectacles on her nose, a large couvre-pied
over her knees, and the Whinborough newspaper on her lap. The
neighborhood of this last enabled her to make an intermittent
pretence of reading; but in reality the energies of her
house-wifely mind were taken up with quite other things. The
vicar's wife was plunged in a housekeeping experiment of absorbing
interest. All her solid preparations for the evening were over, and
in her own mind she decided that with them there was no possible
fault to be found. The cook, Sarah, had gone about her work in a
spirit at once lavish and fastidious, breathed into her by her
mistress. No better tongue, no plumper chickens, than those which
would grace her board to-night were to be found, so Mrs. Thornburgh
was persuaded, in the district. And so with everything else of a
substantial kind. On this head the hostess felt no anxieties.

1917. With a Preface by Theodore Roosevelt. The novelist Mrs.
Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew
Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of
Rugby School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom
Brown's Schooldays. This volume is, in a sense, a sequel to
England's Effort-one of the most successful of all war books. It
is, in fact, a graphic revelation of the verification at the front
of the prophecy England's Effort implied-that as England's effort
was to the utmost she would soon be striking out as hard and as
skillfully as any belligerent, and in the direction of a certain
victory. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger
Publishing.
