Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vivian Grey, Vol. 1
Mr. Grey was a gentleman who had suc ceeded, when the heat of youth was over, to the enjoyment of a life-interest in an estate of about �2000 per annum. He was a man of distinguished literary abilities, and he had hailed with no slight pleasure, his succession to a for tune, which, though limited in its duration, was still a very great thing for a young Zit t�rateur about town; not only with no pro fession, but with a mind utterly unfitted for every species of business. Grey, to the asto nishment of his former friends, the wits, made an excellent domestic match; and, leaving the whole management of his household to his lady, felt himself as independent in his mag nificent library, as if he had never ceased to be that true freeman, A man or chambers.
