This article focuses on the book "Berrington, or Two Hundred Years Ago," by Edward Abbott Parry. Edward Parry in his biography, which contains merely the English episodes, has laid a banquet not only for addicts to the eighteenth century but for all who favor excitement, romance, and adventure. The author says that Edward does not satirize; he is amused by his hero, one moment a princess's escort, the next a prisoner on a boat bound for Virginia; he takes delight in describing a generation which sought excitation behind a mask whether on the highway or at a ball, and he has sympathy for the last truly riotous Englishmen before evangelism and romanticism paved the long, narrow road of Victorialism.
