Synopsis
Excerpt from Up the Rhine, Vol. 1
To forestal such Critics as are fond of climb ing up a Mat de Cocagne for a Mare's Nest at the top, the following work was constructed, partly on the ground-plan of Humphrey Clinker, but with very inferior materials, and on a much humbler scale. I admire the old mansion too much, to think that any workmmship of mine could erect a house fit to stand in the same row.
