Arthur was a Victorian author and member of the temperance movement best known for his book \u003ci\u003eTen Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There. \u003c\/i\u003eHe wasn’t the most brilliant writer, but he was prolific and popular, focusing on realistic stories of everyday people that serve as moral lessons. He’s good to read if you want to get to know the general tone and tenor of middle class Victorian values, especially as regards the role of women, who were expected to serve as a sort of vector of virtue for their families. I collect Victorian books that are written by or about women, so that’s how this one made it into my collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain, textured, brown cloth cover boards with a blindstamped title on the spine that has lost its gilding.
