A SAD REMINDER.

Every Englishman recollects the fate of that

unhappy heiress, the richest of all Europe, married to a man of rank and family, who was plundered in the course of a few years of the whole of his wealth, in one of those club houses, and was obliged to surrender himself to a common prison, and ultimately fly from his country, leaving his wife with her relations in the greatest despair and despondency.'[23] [23] Rouge et Noir: the Academicians of 1823.
