Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by William Hogarth, Thomas Rowlandson and Thomas Gainsborough. The duke of Osmonde's life before and around the events of A Lady of Quality - the same story told from the man's side, published a year later. Burnett wrote it because readers wanted to know what he had known and when. This edition carries 58 bound plates after Munch, Hogarth and Jacques Courtois, alongside one restored colour illustration.
