The Life of George Brummell, Esq., Commonly Called Beau Brummell: Two Volumes, Complete in One (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life of George Brummell, Esq., Commonly Called Beau Brummell: Two Volumes, Complete in OneTaoes who yet remain of his generation, but who were not acquainted with the subject of these memoirs, Will, no doubt, be astonished that any one should have taken the trouble to be his biographer, and much wonder what there can possibly be to say about Beau Brummell unless, indeed, it were to give the impertinent witticisms currently reported of him. But of those contemporaries who knew him intimately and still survive, few will be surprised that I have found some amusement in collecting the scattered reminiscences of so singular a cha meter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
