The Brown Study

vii, 302 pp. 10 pages of publisher ads follow text. Monochrome frontispiece by Herman Pfeifer. ""The Brown Study," where Donald Brown had chosen to live, looked out upon scenes of poverty and struggle. Next door lived Mrs. Kelsey, mother of five, who nevertheless found time to care for a foundling left on Brown's doorstep: near by were old Mr. Benson, the watchmaker ("full jewelled" Brown called him), and Jennings, the hardware clerk, who was down on his luck. Few could understand why this fearless and forceful young preacher had exchanged a life of luxury in the wealthy St. Timothy's parish for this unlovely city district."--jacket
