The True History of the Kentish Lawyer
with an account of the extraordinary marriage of his son
Transcribed from the early 1800’s J. Evans and Son edition by David Price
"The True History of the Kentish Lawyer" by Anonymous is a historical account written during the early 1800s. The book chronicles the life of an English lawyer and his son, focusing on themes of redemption, godliness, and family dynamics, particularly in relation to the pressures of society and personal faith. The narrative begins with Old Mr. Studley, a lawyer in Kent, whose son initially follows in his father’s footsteps but experiences a dramatic spiritual awakening after a harrowing incident in London. As the son strives to live a life of integrity and faith, he faces opposition from his father, who wishes to marry him off to maintain family lineage without regard for his religious beliefs. The story follows the son's journey, including his tumultuous marriage that initially goes against his values but eventually blooms into a supportive partnership. Together, they encounter challenges, including family tensions and personal tragedies, ultimately reinforcing themes of divine providence and the true nature of wealth and spirituality. Through the son’s struggles and triumphs, the narrative unfolds with a reflection on personal faith and societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
