Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Contarini Fleming, Vol. 1 of 4: A Psychological Auto-Biography
My birth, my fortune, my convivial habits, rallied around me the noble and the gay, the ?ower of our society. Joyously ?ew our careless hours, while we mimicked the magnificence of men. I had no thought but for the present moment. I discoursed only of dogs and horses, of fanciful habili ments and curious repasts. I astonished them by a new fashion, and decided upon the exaggerated charms of some ordinary female. How long the novelty of my life would have been productive of interest I know not. An incident occurred which changed my habits.
