The Memoirs of Count Grammont is a historical book written by Anthony Hamilton. It is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the life of Count Antoine Hamilton, a French nobleman who lived during the 17th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the Count’s life in France and the second part detailing his time in England.The Memoirs of Count Grammont is written in a witty and humorous style, with Hamilton using his own experiences and observations to provide a unique perspective on the events of the time. The book covers a wide range of topics, including politics, love, war, and social life, and provides a fascinating insight into the world of the French and English aristocracy during this period.Throughout the book, Hamilton paints a vivid picture of the Count’s life, describing his relationships with various women, his involvement in political intrigue, and his experiences on the battlefield. He also provides a detailed account of the social customs and traditions of the time, giving readers a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the aristocracy.Overall, The Memoirs of Count Grammont is a fascinating and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the life and times of a French nobleman during the 17th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or the social customs of the period.He had paid his devoirs to the eldest daughter of the Duke of Ormond, while his heart was still taken up with his former passion: the king’s love for Lady Castlemaine, and the advancement he expected from such an alliance, made him press the match with as much ardour as if he had been passionately in love: he had therefore married Lady Chesterfield without loving her, and had lived some time with her in such coolness as to leave her no room to doubt of his indifference. As she was endowed with great sensibility and delicacy, she suffered at this contempt: she was at first much affected with his behaviour, and afterwards enraged at it; and, when he began to give her proofs of his affection, she had the pleasure of convincing him of her indifference.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
