201 as embodied in the competitive industrialism of the mid- nineteenth century. Chronology takes a secondary place; a theme is expounded; it is the reaction of institutions on character and human happiness. Before the novelist's mind, a threefold process unfolds itself, a process descri fa- able metaphorically as sowing, reaping, and garnering. Seed is sown in certain human lives by certain erroneous ideals and methods: that occupies the first book. Certain results, all disastrous, follow in t...he second book Hke a harvest. And the third book shows the ultimate result, the proportionately small treasure of good grain housed at last. Having once adopted the more complex section-system, Dickens would seem to have been pleased with it, since it reappears in Little Dorrit, A Tale oj Two Cities^ and Our Mutual Friend. In all of these, construction (calling for exposition in its expression) is conspicuous. In Little Dorrit the thesis to be expounded is the effect on character of the change from poverty to wealth; it falls, therefore, into two books called " Poverty " and " Riches.
