The Pillars of the House, Volume 1 is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. It tells the story of a family living in 19th century England, the Morleys, who are struggling to maintain their social status and financial stability. The novel follows the lives of the Morley siblings, who are faced with various challenges as they navigate their way through adulthood. The eldest sister, Rachel, is burdened with the responsibility of caring for her younger siblings and managing the household, while her brother, Felix, is torn between his duty to his family and his desire to pursue his own interests. As the family faces financial difficulties and personal crises, they must rely on each other to overcome their struggles and maintain their place in society. The novel explores themes of family, duty, love, and sacrifice, and provides a vivid portrayal of life in Victorian England.There are limits to human endurance, and Tom and I have overpassed each other's. I don't blame him, poor man; he wanted raw material to serve as an importer of hides and tallow, but you, the genuine article, were bespoken, and my father was not in a state for the pleading of personal predilections.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
