The Market Place by Harold Frederic is a novel set in the late 19th century in a small town in upstate New York. The story follows the lives of two families, the Trimbles and the Miners, who are both struggling to make ends meet in the changing economic landscape of the time. The Trimbles are a wealthy family who own a successful dry goods store, while the Miners are a working-class family who own a struggling farm. The novel explores themes of class, gender, and social mobility as the two families navigate their way through the challenges of their respective situations. The story is told through multiple perspectives, including those of the Trimbles, the Miners, and several other characters in the town. The Market Place is considered a classic of American literature and is praised for its vivid portrayal of small-town life and its nuanced exploration of social issues.A sudden rage at Kervick flamed up. He clearly had played the fool--clumsily over-plying the simpleton with drink till he had killed him. The shadow of murder indubitably hung over the thing. And then--the crass witlessness of telegraphing! Already, doubtless, the police of Edinborough were talking over the wires with Scotland Yard. A reference to a death in Edinborough, in a telegram from Newcastle--it was incredible that this should escape the eye of the authorities. Any minute might bring a detective through that door there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
