This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1844 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xvii. Estimation in which Brummell was held by clever men--The Poet Crabbe's opinion of him--The Butterfly's Funeral--Brummell the Author of it--Julia Storer--The Beau's Verses on her child--An anecdote from the Clubs of London--A rencontre between Sheridan and Brummell--Sheridan's fugitive poetry--Lines addressed to the Countess of Besborough--Tom Sheridan--The loss of the Saldanha Frigate--His stanzas on the event--Lines to Julia.

Had he indeed been nothing better than an elegant automaton, he would never have acquired the influence that he decidedly obtained; he would not have enjoyed the society of clever men, neither would they have thought it worth their while to bestow a word upon him, even in their moments of relaxation.--But the reverse was the case: his acquaintance was not limited to men of fashion only; it comprised a great portion of the most intellectual men of his time, and at what period of our history was there such a constellation of genii? His acquirements, of which I have already spoken, were sufficient to make him a most delightful accession to any society; his reading, though desultory, was extensive, and therefore he could always, in one way or other, take a respectable, if not a leading part in conversation;--that he showed admirable tact in adapting it to the taste of those in whose society he might happen to be, appears by the...
