Market Harborough, and Inside the Bar

'Market Harborough, and Inside the Bar' is an adventure novel written by G. J. Whyte-Melville and illustrated by John Charlton. The story follows the life of Mr. Sawyer, who the author describes as «…a well-built, able-bodied personage, standing five feet eight in the worsted stockings he usually affects, with a frame admirably calculated to resist fatigue, to perform feats of strength rather than agility, and to put on beef: the last tendency he keeps down with constant and severe exercise, so that the twelve stone which he swings into his saddle is seldom exceeded by a pound.»
