Excerpt from The Weird of the Wentworths, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale of George Iv's Time
The Author trusts that those noble families, whose names he has chosen as his beaux ideals, will kindly dismiss all personal associations from their minds, and simply give to the synonyms (which his not unpardon able preference led him to select) that weight which will ever attach itself in the eyes of the world, to the great, when also good.
