Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Edward Wortley Montagu, Vol. 3 of 3: An Autobiography
I Was Dow under my father's roof, and intolerably wretched. Lady Mary treated me with coldness and contempt, and mockery. My father was immersed in politics and money getting. With him indeed the first was only a means to the second, for he was above all vulgar notions of patriotism or public duty. He never came near me. I secluded myself with my books.
