A remarkably rare survival, in crisp original state, of an anonymous clerical tale in which a humble curate, imprisoned for failure to pay his debts, is rescued by a kindly (not to mention wealthy) landed benefactor; issued as a part of Knevett, Arliss, and Baker's 'Sentimental Tales from the Juvenile Library, Bartholomew Close'.
