Excerpt from Sowing and Reaping: Or What Will Come of It
Sixty years ago, a tall, gloomy house, of a very dingy, unpromising aspect, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, was inhabited by Thomas Durant, one of the most sagacious lawyers of the day.
By birth he was a gentleman, the younger son of the Durants of Stanton-Combe, an old, though decayed family, in the county of Durham. The family estate was greatly encumbered by debts and mortgages, and, owing to the sudden death of his father, he was left unprovided for. Edward, the elder son, took all, excepting the mother's jointure of three thousand pounds. The younger son was pennyless; and, as if to increase his difficulties, had been bred to no profession.
