Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Joy After Sorrow: A Novel
There were many evil-disposed persons who called Mr Zuriel an upstart, a parvenu, and other disparaging names too numerous to mention: but that gentleman himself and his admirers asserted that he was at length merely restored to his proper rank; that during the time when he and his father were reduced to the disagreeable necessity of earning an honest livelihood by trade, the family glory was passing under a cloud (a golden one it turned out to be), from which it had now emerged, and shone brilliantly in the beautifying beams of the sun of prosperity.
Mr Zuriel stated, and for aught the chronicler of this history knows to the contrary, implicitly believed that the first of his ancestors of whom he had any accurate information, was among the Israelites led by Moses forth from Egyptian bondage.
