Memoirs of Harriette Wilson
This is likely a pirated edition with a false imprint by Benbow and Mitford following the 1825 J.J. Stockdale publication. The publication of Wilson’s Memoirs was one of the biggest scandals of the day; after years as a courtesan, she wrote to each of her previous paramours to tell them of the publication of her Memoirs. Each ex-lover (including the Duke of Wellington) was granted the opportunity to not be named directly in the memoirs in exchange for two hundred pounds (which is about ten thousand pounds now). -
