Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Memoirs of the Eighteenth Century IN the following Memoirs 1 have invited the reader to meet a little company of men and women who may seem, at first sight, to have little or nothing in common with one another, consisting as they do of two grandes dames of the second George's Court, a poet playwright who dabbled in diplomacy, an aristocratic declassee who died in the odour of royalty, an etc-shoemaker turned bookseller, a Highland lady with literary proclivities, and a distinguished scholar who was chiefly remarkable for his misfortunes. Yet the points of resemblance, though less obvious, are scarcely less decided than the points of contrast, for all were children of the same century, all belonged to the genus self-revealer, ' all have left their 'confessions, ' in the form of letters or auto biography, all were celebrated, or at least notorious, in their own day (with the exception of John Tweddell, whose notoriety was posthumous), and all have fallen, whether deservedly or not, into neglect, if not oblivion.
