Description
A revised selection of Lady Montagu's letters. Besides presenting a vivid picture of manners in a picturesque age they contain a unique series of impressions from foreign courts seldom visited and nowhere else so intimately described. Lady Mary was the wife of a popular ambassador and wielding the charm of a strong personality was enabled to see and hear many things of which the ordinary traveler or resident abroad knew-and knows-little or nothing. Originally written for the most part to her sisters her daughter or to very intimate friends her Letters are unusually detailed and frank. She was a keen observer not superior to the love of gossip with a quick eye for the telling features of a story or situation and an easy effective style.
