Summary: "The Cornhill Magazine (Vol. IV, No. 2, August 1861)" by Various is a collection of literary articles and stories written in the mid-19th century. As an esteemed periodical of its time, it likely features a range of topics, from fiction and essays to commentary on contemporary social issues. The opening portion introduces characters embroiled in social dilemmas and personal relationships, particularly focusing on themes of love, financial struggle, and the complexities of human interactions. At the start of the magazine, the narrative centers around Philip Firmin, whose character is presented through his interactions with General Baynes and his family. Philip's recent act of kindness toward the General’s family has led him to become admired within their circle, resulting in light-hearted discussions about his suitability as a suitor for Miss Charlotte Baynes. As the story unfolds, the tale hints at Philip's entanglements in his romantic affections and financial uncertainties, delving into the dynamics of relationships, parental influence, and the pressures of societal expectations.
