Remarks

Extremely elegant memoires (third pers. sg,). Grammont (1621-1707) lived in London from 1662 to 1664, married Elizabeth Hamilton (Anthony Hamilton is her brother). The life with stories of a gambler's career, love affairs and curious war experiences is more or less the background of a narration circling around the question of true gallantry, in which the count serves as the greatest example.
