Love And Money is a novel written by John Beauchamp Jones and published in 1865. The story is set in the mid-19th century in Virginia, USA, and revolves around the lives of two families, the Hunters and the Baxters. The Hunter family is wealthy, while the Baxter family is poor. The novel explores the themes of love, money, and social status.The main characters of the novel are Mary Hunter, the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, and Henry Baxter, the son of a poor farmer. Mary falls in love with Henry, but her father disapproves of their relationship due to their different social statuses. Meanwhile, Mary’s father arranges for her to marry a wealthy man named George Fairfax. Mary is torn between her love for Henry and her duty to marry George for the sake of her family’s financial security.The novel also follows the lives of other characters, including Mary’s brother, Tom, who is engaged in a scandalous affair with a married woman, and Henry’s sister, Martha, who is in love with a man from a lower social class.Love And Money is a commentary on the social norms and expectations of the time, particularly the idea that marriage should be based on financial security rather than love. The novel also highlights the struggles of those who are not born into wealth and the pressures they face to improve their social status.Overall, Love And Money is a compelling story of love, sacrifice, and social class, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th century Virginia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
