The Amateur Gentleman is a historical novel written by Jeffery Farnol that was first published in 1913. The story is set in early 19th century England and follows the life of a young man named Barnabas Barty, who is the son of a disgraced nobleman. Despite his humble origins, Barnabas is determined to make a name for himself and restore his family's honor.The novel begins with Barnabas working as a bookkeeper in London, but he soon becomes embroiled in a series of adventures that take him from the seedy underworld of the city to the glittering ballrooms of high society. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful actress, a notorious highwayman, and a wealthy heiress.As Barnabas navigates the treacherous waters of love and politics, he must also confront his own past and the secrets that his family has kept hidden for years. With its vivid descriptions of life in Regency England and its thrilling plot twists, The Amateur Gentleman is a classic tale of romance, adventure, and redemption.""Yes, sir, devilish swell affair, with gentlemen to ride, and Royalty to look on--a race of races! London's agog with it, all the clubs discuss it, coffee houses ring with it, inns and taverns clamor with it--soul and honor, betting--everywhere. The odds slightly favor Sir Mortimer Carnaby's 'Clasher'; but Viscount Devenham's 'Moonraker' is well up. Then there's Captain Slingsby's 'Rascal,' Mr. Tressider's 'Pilot,' Lord Jerningham's 'Clinker,' and five or six others. But, as I tell you, 'Clasher' and 'Moonraker' carry the money, though many knowing ones are sweet on the 'Rascal.' But, surely, you must have heard of the great steeplechase? Devilish ugly course, they tell me.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
