This entertaining volume presents six character sketches from the Georgian era—admittedly not the most noble dames and men of the era. Here are a humorist, Abraham Tucker; a grande dame, Lady Mar Coke; a beggar, Bampfylde-Moore Carew; a parson, Sir Henry Bate-Dudley; an heiress, The Countess of Strathmore; and a hostess, Lady Holland Elizabeth. In addition to having interesting life histories, they each exhibit some peculiarity or quaintness, or eccentricity of mind and behavior to merit being dubbed by our Fyvie as “characters.”
