"Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, No. 428" by Various is an old-time journal that examines the social customs and moral questions of its day. The publication includes essays and stories that give us a peek into the lives of people in the past. One piece looks at the tradition of dinner parties in England, pointing out how these events had become more about showing off than enjoying a simple meal. Later, a story tells of a rich man named Jacob Benjamin who decides to test people's honesty. He hides money in his shop and watches to see who will be truthful and who will not. The writing touches on what people thought about honesty, class differences, and doing what's right.
