Mary Anerley is a novel written by R.D. Blackmore, first published in 1880. It is a historical romance set in the 17th century, in the county of Devon, England. The story revolves around the life of Mary Anerley, a young woman who is forced to leave her home and travel to London to seek justice for her family, who have been wronged by a powerful and corrupt aristocrat. Along the way, she meets a young lawyer named Frank Westray, who becomes her ally and helps her in her quest for justice. As they work together, they fall in love, but their relationship is threatened by the powerful forces that seek to keep them apart. The novel is a tale of adventure, romance, and intrigue, set against the backdrop of a turbulent period in English history. It is a classic work of historical fiction, and one of Blackmore's most popular novels.The mouth of that cave is two fathoms wide for a longish bit of channel; and, Mary dear, if I had not been supported by continual thoughts of you, I must have gone against the sides, or downright to the bottom, from the waves keeping knocking me about so. I may tell you that I felt that I should never care again, as my clothes began to bag about me, except to go down to the bottom and be quiet, but for the blessed thought of standing up some day, at the 'hymeneal altar, ' as great people call it, with a certain lovely Mary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
