Excerpt from Memoirs of Emma Lady Hamilton: With Anecdotes of Her Friends and Contemporaries Who combined with the acknowledged charms of her person mental powers of no common range and ver satility, is the principal reason for the republication of her much-maligned Memoirs, with corrections and annotations. The story of her wonderfully chequered career from her cradle to her grave, and her connection with the greatest naval commander the world has ever seen, is as attractive and thrilling as a romance, and will serve for all time to point a moral, or adorn a tale. The first edition of the Memoirs of Lady Hamilton, by an anonymous author, was published by H. Colburn in 1815, and a second edition, corrected and enlarged, a few weeks later in the same year.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Emma, Lady Hamilton, the Friend of Lord Nelson and the Court of Naples Among the lovely faces that haunt history none, surely, is lovelier than that Of Emily Lyon, who abides undying as Emma, Lady Hamilton. Yet it was never the mere radiance of rare beauty that en titled her to such an empire over the hearts and wills of several remarkable men and of one unique genius, or which empowered a girl humbly bred and basely situated to assist in moulding events that changed the current Of affairs. She owned grace and charm as well as triumphant beauty; while to these she added 'a masculine mind, a native force and Sparkle; a singu lar faculty, moreover, of rendering and revealing the thoughts and feelings of others, that lent an especial glamour to both beauty and charm. Walter Sichel thus strikes the keynote to the re markable life-story here presented - a story which transcends the bounds of romance and fascinates and baffles the reader by turns. Indeed, no two critics of this famous beauty and confidante of Lord Nelson have ever agreed as to her place in history. To one She is an adventuress, luring Nelson on by the sheer power of her physical charm; to another, she is his guiding star, his inspiration; While others see in her merely an astute politician, eager for power. To quote Mr. Sichel again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
