"Our problems at present are immense. There are so many factors which enter into a request for credit with the World Bank that at times we feel almost submerged. However, I do believe we are making good and steadfast headway and that soon we will be able to obtain those moneys which are not only necessary to the company but also to the economy of Mexico and to a certain extent the well-being of Latin America"); David's brother Stephen, who "hopes to enter for his own account the dye-stuffs industry...he is intrested in producing high class dyes of which a great penury exists… Read More

Frances Trollope was an English novelist and writer who is said to have influenced such authors as Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her first book is her best known, but her social novels were influential in their time, and took strong anti-slavery or anti-Catholic stances. Her novels are not often read today, in part -- paradoxically -- because she was so prolific and observational a writer. This novel about a sixteenth century cloister in Italy is her second novel and third book. Sadleir 3212; Wolff 6804
