Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from St. Katherine's by the Tower: A Novel
Great and mighty events happened in the year 1793 - yea, and continued to happen for twenty years and more to follow. These events have already, though so recent, engaged the attention of the historian, the biographer, and of those humbler writers who collect the crumbs, so to speak - the anecdotes, stories, whispers, and scandals concerning all the great men engaged, so that the curious world shall learn to its complete satisfaction how the Corsican Usurper - to instance the greatest man concerned - behaved in respect to his eating, his drinking, his amours, and his dress. If we cannot understand statesman Ship and high policy, we can at least understand these lesser things.
