The proprietor had offered to him for one hundred and sixty dollars-exactly the amount he had in bank - the first and only edition of the Unpublishable Memoirs of Beau Brummel, a little volume issued in London in 1790, and one of two copies known, the other being in the famous hidden library of the British Museum.
