The Jessop Bequest is a novel written by Anna Robeson Brown Burr and first published in 1907. The story revolves around the Jessop family, who have inherited a large fortune from their wealthy ancestor. The family is torn apart by greed, jealousy, and betrayal as they struggle to divide the inheritance amongst themselves. The main character, Arthur Jessop, is a young man who must navigate the treacherous waters of family politics to secure his share of the bequest. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Edith, who is also vying for a piece of the fortune. As the family members scheme and plot against one another, Arthur and Edith must fight to maintain their integrity and honor. The novel is a compelling tale of family drama, love, and ambition, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the social mores and values of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
