The first English edition in publisher's cloth, published November 1879 and preceded by the American edition of September 20, 1879.
Sometimes called one of Trollope's more experimental novels, this chronicles the indecision of an aging squire in choosing an heir to his estate and the resulting uncertainty in his choice of heir -- after a last-minute, un-announced change in the will -- upon the squire's death.
