Summary

"Quotes and Images From Memoirs of Count Grammont" by Anthony Hamilton is a compilation of Count Grammont’s thoughts offering a glimpse into the lives and times of the French upper class in the 1600s. This compilation, likely created in the early 1700s, captures the essence of sharp wit and offers insights into the tangled relationships within the French royal court. The themes covered show the desires, envy, affection, and mistakes of the wealthy. These reflections are a funny yet critical view of how the noble class acted, showing how absurd their goals and connections could be. Through these quotes, Hamilton offers a striking picture of the Count as someone with a deep understanding of his society and a knack for spotting the strange ways people interacted.
