Somme Passages From The History Of The Chomley Family is a historical novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in 1850. The novel follows the lives of the Chomley family, a wealthy and influential family in 19th-century England. The story spans several generations, beginning with the family's rise to power in the 17th century and ending with their decline in the 19th century. The novel explores themes of family, love, power, and social class, as well as the changing political and economic landscape of England during the Industrial Revolution. The Chomley family is portrayed as a complex and flawed group of individuals, each struggling to maintain their place in society and deal with the challenges of their time. Through a series of interconnected stories and anecdotes, Gaskell paints a vivid picture of English society during this time period, highlighting the struggles of both the wealthy and the working classes. The novel is also notable for its strong female characters, including the independent and headstrong Lady Ludlow, who becomes a mentor and friend to the young protagonist, Grace. Overall, Some Passages From The History Of The Chomley Family is a rich and engaging historical novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the English aristocracy during a time of great change and upheaval.He had, moreover, a most incomparable sweet breath insomuch as many times it might have been thought it had carried a perfume or sweet odoriferous smell with it. The hair of his head was of that loveliest shade, a chestnut's ruddy brown, and the ends of his locks curled and turned up very gracefully, without that frizzling which his father, Sir Henry's, was inclined to.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
