Sinossi
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Huntsman
He is said to have been an ungraceful rider. He prided himself to the last, says Mr. Charles Kent in the Dictionary of National Biography, upon having learnt pugilism from Byron's instructor, Jackson, and retained until far on in middle life a coarser kind of buckish coxcombry. He delighted in wearing at the same time two or three different-coloured satin under-waist coats, and round his throat three or four gaudy silk neckerchiefs, held together by passing the ends of them through a gold ring. Even when he had come to be an old man, he piqued himself upon having been the last to cling to the flat cocked hat of polite life known early in the century as the chapeau bras.
