Nolan, Baruch

A retired London hosier believed to understand politics; a wealthy and esteemed inhabitant of Treby, whose Hebrew extraction is ignored. "A wiry old gentleman past seventy, whose square tight forehead, with its rigid hedge of grey hair, whose bushy eyebrows, sharp dark eyes, and remarkable hooked nose, gave a handsome distinction to his face in the midst of rural physiognomies."

<em>Felix Holt, the Radical</em>
