The Memoirs of Count Grammont — Volume 01

A lively collection of anecdotes traces the Chevalier Grammont’s military exploits, travels, and long association with several European courts, moving from the siege of Trino and other battlefield episodes to his stays at the courts of Turin, France, and England. The chapters blend witty character sketches, salon gossip, romantic intrigues—including his attachment to Miss Hamilton—and humorous domestic episodes such as a valet’s journeys and a chaplain’s mishap. Alongside accounts of banishment, marriage, and court ceremonies, the text offers social observation of high society and opens with a brief biographical sketch of the author.
