Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Public and Private Life of the Right Honorable R. B. Sheridan, Vol. 1: With a Particular Account of His Family and Connexions
One of the oldest and most acute of the French moral writers has observed, That not only are the marks of the body transmitted from father to son, but also a resemblance of temper, complexion, and inclinations of the mind. However bold and fanciful this position' of Montaigne may appear at first sight, a particular attention to the family his tory of celebrated persons will furnish many striking illustrations in support of its probability.
