AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Visitors to a private asylum learned the history of an apparently sensible inmate. Involved in the war with the French in the West Indes he escaped from capture by breaking his word of honour. He was sent back to captivity by his English fellow officers in contempt, refused shelter by the French, and eventually shuffled back to England and madness. (PB)
