Book Overview

""Harry Beaufoy: Or The Pupil Of Nature"" is a novel written by Maria Hack and first published in 1824. The story follows the life of the titular character, Harry Beaufoy, who is raised in the countryside by his grandfather and becomes a keen observer of nature. As he grows up, Harry is sent to London to study law, but his true passion lies in the natural world. He meets a group of like-minded individuals who share his interest and they embark on a series of adventures exploring the English countryside. Along the way, Harry falls in love with a young woman named Lucy, but their relationship is challenged by the social norms of the time. The novel is a celebration of the beauty and wonder of the natural world and a critique of the rigid social hierarchy of early 19th-century England. It is an engaging and thought-provoking read that will appeal to fans of both historical fiction and nature writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
