Reminiscences of the Court and Times of King Ernest of Hanover, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Court and Times of King Ernest of Hanover, Vol. 1 of 2 Having often been asked by friends to rescue from Oblivion certain stories that I told them of the Court of Hanover, where I passed many years of my life. And where I saw many notorie ties and a good many curiosities, I purpose to employ some long winter evenings to rub up reminiscences as far as a septuagenarian memory will permit, for I have no notes. My going there was what some would call accidental, but what I like to call providential; and it has been attended with many blessings, for which, I trust, I am truly thankful.
