Reminiscences Of Captain Gronow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419144356)

Reminiscences Of Captain Gronow is a memoir written by Captain Rees Howell Gronow, a British soldier who served in the Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War. The book is a collection of anecdotes and stories from Gronow's life, including his time in the military, his travels, and his encounters with notable figures such as the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon Bonaparte. Gronow's writing style is witty and engaging, and his stories offer a unique perspective on life in the 19th century. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, and is sure to appeal to history buffs and fans of memoirs alike.""Monk"" Lewis, unable to stand against the outcry thus raised against him, determined to try the effects of absence, and took his departure for the island in which his property was; but unfortunately for those who dissented from the ferocious judgment that was passed upon him, and for those who had discrimination enough to know that after all there was nothing very objectionable in his romance, and felt assured that posterity would do him justice, this amiable and kind-hearted man died on his passage out; leaving a blank in one variety of literature which has never been filled up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
