Présentation de l'éditeur
The following brief Memoirs of a beautiful, engaging, and, in many respects, highly gifted woman, require little in the way of introduction. While we may trace some little negative disingenuousness in the writer, in regard to a due admission of her own fail ings, sufficient of uncoloured matter of fact remains, to show the exposed situation of an unprotected .beauty or, what is worse, of a female of great personal and natural attraction, exposed to the gaze of libertine rank and fashion, under the mere nominal guardianship of a neglectful and profligate husband. Autobiography of this class is sometimes dangerous; not so that of Mrs Robinson, who conceals not the thorns inherent in the paths along which vice externally scatters roses. For the rest, the arrangement of princely establishments in the way of amour, is pleasantly pourtrayed in these brief volumes, which in many respects are not without their moral. One at least is sufficiently obvious, and it will be found in the cold-hearted neglect which a woman of the most fascinating mental and personal attractions may encounter from those whose homage is merely sensual, and whose admiration is but a snare.
