studies of manners and English 19th century mentality

really a very good book, studies of manners + or - solicitors and yet so hypocritical severely repressed in England of the 19th century, through the life of this dandy genie is slightly galling that OW
reads like a novel as written particularly well, too bad that he did so only 156 pages, ca goes too fast!
