Good For Nothing: Or All Down Hill is a novel written by George John Whyte Melville and published in 1890. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Reginald Eversleigh, who is disowned by his wealthy family and forced to make his own way in the world. Despite his privileged upbringing, Reginald proves to be a lazy and irresponsible young man, and he quickly falls into debt and trouble. Along the way, he meets a variety of colorful characters, including a group of smugglers and a beautiful young woman named Aileen, who becomes the object of his affections. As Reginald struggles to find his place in the world, he must confront his own flaws and learn to take responsibility for his actions. The novel is a satirical look at the upper classes of Victorian England, and it explores themes of class, morality, and personal responsibility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
