As Richard grows older, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with his religious beliefs and begins to question the morality of the society around him. He becomes involved in left-wing politics and joins a group of socialists who are fighting for workers' rights. Throughout the novel, Richard also struggles with personal relationships, including his love for a woman named Mary, who is also grappling with her own religious and moral beliefs. The book explores themes of faith, doubt, morality, and social justice, and is considered a classic of Victorian literature.

Under those very trees, on that very seat had we sat, and she and I were there again. All the old confidences, confessions, tendernesses, rushed upon me.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
