Charles Dickens introduces the Chuzzlewit family in the very first chapter - As no lady or gentleman, with any claims to polite breeding, can possibly sympathize with the Chuzzlewit Family without being first assured of the extreme antiquity of the race, it is a great satisfaction to know that it undoubtedly descended in a direct line from Adam and Eve; and was, in the very earliest times, closely connected with the agricultural interest. If it should ever be urged by grudging and malicious persons, that a Chuzzlewit, in any period of the family history, displayed an overweening amount of family pride, surely the weakness will be considered not only pardonable but laudable, when the immense superiority of the house to the rest of mankind, in respect of this its ancient origin, is taken into account. - certainly an interesting way to introduce a family! If you haven't read this classic book yet, consider adding this antique edition to your bookshelves.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56282482540923,"sku":"10852716","price":19.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_513884_jpg.jpg?v=1780670599","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/charles-dickens-martin-chuzzlewit-walter-scott-1895","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
