1894 edition. Henry Kingsley was the restless brother of Charles Kingsley, a swagman and a war correspondent. His devotion to piety, drinking and smoking, vigorous exercise leading to undeniable masculinity as an ajoint to the strength of Christian faith was matched by his energetic literary endeavours (when he got around to it). This book, his third, the story of the eponymous lead character in the aftermath of a duel, has been hailed as leading to most stringent anti-duelling laws.
