Summary
This volume gathers short pieces first written for Bentley’s Miscellany, including sketches of Mudfog and its civic life. Mudfog is presented as a wet, smoky riverside town with many public houses, a conspicuous town hall, and a mayor and corporation who spend long nights debating small local matters. One prominent figure is Nicholas Tulrumble, a coal-dealer turned wealthy resident whose rise and habits are described satirically.
