DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Private Memoirs of Sir Kenelm Digby There is a charm in Autobiography under whatever form it may be presented to our notice, which is too universally felt to require recommendation; hence, an apology for publishing for the first time, from his own MS., an account of the early part of the life of one of the most extraordinary characters of his, or indeed of any age, would it is presumed be wholly superfluous. The name of Sir Kenelm Digby is almost synonymous with genius and eccentricity; and his marriage with the beautiful Venetia Stanley, a lady of far purer birth than fame, has tended to create a lively interest in all which relates to him. Under feigned appellations, but to the greater proportion of which there is no difficulty in giving a key, Digby has detailed all the events of his life, from his childhood until his victory over the Venetian squadron at Scanderoon in June 1628; and as the narrative was solely written from feelings of affection for his wife, that celebrated woman is the heroine of his tale.
