The Memoirs of Count Grammont is a literary work written by Anthony Hamilton, a French-Scottish writer, in the 17th century. The book is a historical account of the life and adventures of Philibert, Count de Gramont, a French nobleman who lived during the reign of King Charles II of England. The memoirs are written in the form of a narrative, with Count Gramont as the central character. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the political and social events of the time, as well as the personal lives of the aristocracy. The memoirs are known for their wit, humor, and scandalous content, as they detail the romantic escapades and intrigues of the French court. The Memoirs of Count Grammont is considered a classic of 17th-century literature and is widely regarded as one of the best examples of the memoir genre. The book has been translated into several languages and has been adapted for the stage and screen. It remains a popular read for those interested in history, literature, and the lives of the rich and famous.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.
