Mr. Britling was one of the representative thinkers upon which society decided to inform itself. He did not appear like one would think such a distinguished English gentleman should. His mustache his hair his eyebrows bristled; his flaming freckled face seemed about to bristle too. His little hazel eyes came out with a ping. Mr. Britling was one of a large but remarkable class of people who seem at the mere approach of photography to change their hair their clothes their moral natures. No photographer had ever caught a hint of his essential Britlingness or bristlingness but H.G. Wells certainly does in this fabulous novel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
