""Military Career"" is a fascinating and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on military life during the 18th century, as well as a glimpse into the life of one of history's most notorious figures.A short time afterwards, Madame F---- whispered a few words to the general, who turned to me and said that he would be glad to hear me relate what had occurred to me in Constantinople with the wife of the Turk Yusuf, and at another friend's house, where I had been seen bathing by moonlight. I was rather surprised at such an invitation, and told him that such frolics were not worth listening to....This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
