Philibert, Count de Gramont (1621-1707), said that his ideal man was "a being without conscience, without principle, without religion, without a soul." His memoirs "have the merit of being true; in no other work is the reality of that profligate society of St. James's so vividly expressed; in no other contemporary memoirs is there so much wit, such grace of style, such skill in portraiture."
