Synopsis "Crichton (1837). By: W. Harrison Ainsworth, in three volume's (VOLUME I): Novel (Original Classics)"

William Harrison Ainsworth (4 February 1805 - 3 January 1882) was an English historical novelist born at King Street in Manchester. He trained as a lawyer, but the legal profession held no attraction for him. While completing his legal studies in London he met the publisher John Ebers, at that time manager of the King's Theatre, Haymarket.
