Mr. Seth Pecksniff was likened by his creator, Charles. Dickens, to a "direction-post which is always telling the way to a place, and never goes there."

From a study of Mr: Pecksniff's utterance, you would conclude him to be the most moral man who ever lived. His personal appear- ance, immaculately respect- able, grave and sedate would only serve to strengthen you in your opinion; but cast an eye upon his deeds, or rather misdeeds, and your judgment would speedily be reversed.

He gave himself out to be an architect and land- surveyor, but In actual fact his ignorance of both these. professions was about as pro- found as it could be. He neither built houses nor surveyed land; his sole pro- fessional activity consisted of pocketing the premiums of truating pupils, whom he turned loose in his study to design palaces and parila- ment-houses undisturbed, for so long a period as their parents' credulity lasted.

This sanctimonious humbug was genuinely revered by his two daughters until the day when a brandy-Bottle deprived him of his customary cautiousness and set him die- coursing of the passions with startling freedom of language. Full disillusionment did not come, to the world at large until Pecksniff over-reached himself in trying to secure e hold upon old Chuzzlewit's money. He practised. all wiles and schemes that the brain of man could devise, but without avail, and hence forward suffered the exquisito torture of seeing himself exposed and ruined.

His old age was spent in squalid poverty and drunken- noas, yet even when he was reduced to writing begging letters he remained as smugly Lighteous as ever; with.
