HERVEY, John.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Memoirs of the Reign of George the Second, First edition of these posthumously published memoirs. "Despite his resort to the third person in discussing himself as a player in the drama of court life, Hervey's Memoirs are in fact very personal, direct, and even earthy. They provide ironic and amusing character sketches of the men and women who exercised power in the 1730s" (ODNB).
