Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Firmin, son of Dr. Brand Firmin and of Lord Ringwood's wealthy niece, has been left a fortune at the death of his mother. He discovers that his father is being blackmailed by Tufton Hunt, a clergyman who once performed a sham marriage ceremony between Brandon and Caroline Gann (as related in A Shabby Genteel Story). Hunt now claims that the marriage was in fact valid, and urges Caroline to assert her rights and disinherit Philip by proving him illegitimate. Caroline, who is now working as a nurse and in this capacity has brought Philip through a serious illness, refuses to do this. Dr Firmin loses Philip's money and his own through unwise speculation and flees to America, and Philip's fiancée Agnes Twysden renounces him in favour of a wealthier rival. Philip now meets General Baynes, one of the trustees of his lost fortune, and falls in love with the General's daughter Charlotte. He marries her, in the teeth of her mother's opposition, and struggles to support her by becoming a journalist. His troubles are ended when the lost will of his great-uncle, Lord Ringwood, is discovered, and he is found to be the heir to the old man's riches.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Philip on His Way Through the World, Vol. 1 of 2: Showing Who Robbed Him, Who Helped Him, and Who Passed Him By As intimated in the note quoted above, Thackeray at first designed completing A Shabby Genteel Story in a formal fashion, but changed his mind and instead revived some of the characters as the Brandons and Mr. Gann in a new novel The Adventures of Philip, which he contributed to The Cornhill Magazine, beginning with the number for January, 1861, the third volume of the magazine, which Opened with the story, and continuing it until August, 1862. Immediately afterward he published it in three vol umes, without the illustrations, dedicating it to his friend.
