Grandson of an attainted Jacobite, the last Earl of Seaforth climbed volcanoes with William Hamilton and entertained young Mozart in Naples while on the Grand Tour. His marriage to a fashionable courtesan painted by Reynolds did him no lasting good, and he declined into drink and debt before dying at sea. Another gem from this wonderful maverick author/publisher.
