This is a novel penned by Charles James Lever, and it delves into the complexities of social status and professional aspiration. The story follows the narrator, a man from a family of apothecaries, who faces the challenge of dealing with his father's ambition to transcend the perceived limitations of their profession. The father believed that medicine had lost its mystery and prestige with the rise of «high science and skill,» and that the apothecary profession would never receive the recognition it deserved. Despite this, the narrator strives to continue his family's legacy while navigating the societal expectations and challenges that come with it.
