Edward Wortley Montagu, Vol. 1 of 3: An Autobiography (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from Edward Wortley Montagu, Vol. 1 of 3: An Autobiography

A gentleman to whom the manuscript of the following work was shown, said, "The writer of it methinks must have felt as if he were God at the Day of Judgment, summoning before him the great ones of the earth, and making them confess their crimes."

And in truth, the remark, though some may cavil at it, does not seem to be without a certain essence of truth. No such book has, probably, ever come before the public. Here and there, in out-of-the-way places, we may find sketches of this or that illustrious person; but in no work that the writer knows of are they all grouped as here, and shown in their true colours.
