The Newcomes Memoirs Of A Most Respectable Family Summary
| Was Thomas Newcome a foundling--a workhouse child out of that village, which has now become a great manufacturing town, and which bears his name? Such was the report set about at the last election, when Sir Brian, in the Conservative interest, contested the borough; and Mr. Yapp, the out-and-out Liberal candidate, had a picture of the old workhouse placarded over the town as the birth-place of the Newcomes; with placards ironically exciting freemen to vote for Newcome and union--Newcome and the parish interests, and etc. Who cares for these local scandals? |
