Affable, engaging and self-absorbed, Lesassier was a physician, military surgeon, and novelist, who was also a shameless opportunist, charming scoundrel and seducer. Offering rare insights into Georgian, Regency, and early Victorian Britain, his is the story of a failed man who wanted to be something different and saw himself as entitled to more than he had; someone who can always be guaranteed to make the wrong choice, and then protest that he has done well. 15 illustrations.
