Portion of a Lever novel, published originally in segments. The character of Dunn appears to be based on that of John Sadleir, the Irish politician and financier. Sadleir, who eventually fell into ruin and committed suicide on Hampstead Heath, also provides the basis for the character of Mr. Merdle in Dickens' Little Dorrit.
