Excerpt from The Duc De Lauzun: And the Court of Louis XV

The second argument is not less easily disposed of. Lauzun, it is said, was too much a gentleman to 0 compromise intentionally so many women of rank. In our day, it is true, the accusation would be a particularly grave one. But it was not so in the eighteenth century. The man who boasted of his conquests was regarded perhaps as wanting in good taste, but he was not otherwise thought ill of, for far less importance attached to moral lapses in those days than in these. And after all, though Lauzun was indiscreet, did he commit the serious crime of compromising undoubted virtue or tarnish ing spotless reputations? Almost all the women whose favours he complacently records were not novices in such matters; we have only to open a volume of any memoirs of the period to read a full narrative of their adventures.
