About this book

The volume gathers Henry Esmond, The English Humourists and The Four Georges, all by William Makepeace Thackeray. The contents list The History Of Henry Esmond, Esq. with a Dedication and a Preface, and Book I is titled The Early Youth Of Henry Esmond, Up To The Time Of His Leaving Trinity College, In Cambridge.

A voice in the book says that after this bloody fight of Malplaquet the general cry, in the Dutch quarters and our own, was that there was enough of the war. George III had a niece at Brunswick, and the Princess Caroline was selected to marry the heir to the English throne. Esmond rides on with thoughts enough of his own to occupy him, some sad ones, some inexpressibly dear and pleasant, and his mistress, from whom he had been a year separated, is his dearest mistress again.
