The Coxon Fund is a novella by the renowned American author, Henry James. The story revolves around the wealthy and eccentric Mr. Saltram, who has recently acquired a large sum of money from a fund set up by a deceased friend, Mr. Coxon. Mr. Saltram's newfound wealth attracts the attention of a group of acquaintances, including the narrator, who are curious about how he will spend the money.As the story progresses, it becomes clear that Mr. Saltram has no clear plan for the money and is content to simply enjoy his newfound wealth. However, his lack of direction begins to cause tension within his social circle, as everyone has their own ideas about how the money should be used.The novella explores themes of wealth, power, and social status, as well as the complexities of human relationships. James' prose is characteristically dense and nuanced, and his characters are vividly drawn and psychologically complex.Overall, The Coxon Fund is a thought-provoking and engaging read that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the wealthy and privileged in turn-of-the-century Europe.One of the consequences, for the Mulvilles, of the sacrifices they made for Frank Saltram was that they had to give up their carriage. Adelaide drove gently into London in a one-horse greenish thing, an early Victorian landau, hired, near at hand, imaginatively, from a broken-down jobmaster whose wife was in consumption--a vehicle that made people turn round all the more when her pensioner sat beside her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
