Publisher's Synopsis

""A Letter To Her Grace The Duchess Of Devonshire"" is a book written by William Combe in 1777. The book is a satirical work that pokes fun at the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Cavendish, who was a prominent figure in British society at the time. Combe uses humor and wit to criticize the Duchess's lavish lifestyle and her involvement in politics. The book is written in the form of a letter, with Combe addressing the Duchess directly. The letter covers a range of topics, including the Duchess's fashion choices, her political affiliations, and her relationships with other members of society. The book is considered a classic example of 18th-century satire and is still studied and enjoyed by readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
