Since there are many books such as this one that are important and beneficial to literary interests, we have made it digitally available and have brought it back into print for the preservation of printed works of the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor's Note\u003cbr\u003e       THE following is a true and authentic account of the birth, life, and death of the notorious adventuress, sometime Emy Lyon, but ultimately the wife of Sir William Hamilton, his Majesty's Minister at Naples, together with the story of her many lapses from virtue both before and after her connection with Immortal Nelson, the Hero of the Nile. It has been compiled from contemporary documents, the writings of eye-witnesses, and other reliable evidence. We trust that sufficient excuse will be found for the relation in the moral lesson conveyed. The features of the unhappy subject of this memoir were limned by all the most illustrious painters and designers of the century. To gratify the curiosity of those who would fain investigate the charms of one who provoked so much controversy whilst she lived, and has been the occasion of so much argument since she paid the final debt of nature in the poor lodging-house at Calais, has proved a task not wholly uncongenial.\u003cbr\u003e       Our acknowledgments and those of our readers are due to many ladies and gentlemen who have added their quota to our knowledge, and allowed generous access to their treasures for the benefit of our illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Plates:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma.
