Beauford V2: Or A Picture Of High Life is a novel written by Henry Card and published in 1811. The book is a satirical portrayal of the high society of England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The story follows the life of the wealthy and titled Beauford family, who are known for their extravagant lifestyle and social status. The protagonist, Lord Beauford, is a young man who is torn between his desire for a life of pleasure and his duty to his family and society. The novel is filled with witty observations and critiques of the excesses and superficiality of the upper class, as well as the hypocrisy and moral decay that often accompany such a lifestyle. Through the characters of the Beauford family and their acquaintances, Card exposes the flaws and contradictions of a society that values wealth and status above all else. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the English aristocracy during a time of great social and political change.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
