at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall,
in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took
up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an
idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties
were roused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the
limited remnant of the earliest patents; there any unwelcome
sensations, arising from domestic affairs changed naturally into
pity and contempt as he turned over the almost endless creations of
the last century; and there, if every other leaf were powerless, he
could read his own history with an interest which never failed.
