The Infamous John Friend is a book written by Mrs. R. S. Garnett that tells the story of John Friend, a notorious figure in 18th century England. Friend was a wealthy merchant who became involved in a scandalous affair with a young woman named Mary Blandy. The affair ended in tragedy when Blandy was accused of poisoning her father with arsenic, allegedly at Friend's urging. The book explores the complex relationship between Friend and Blandy, as well as the social and cultural context of their time. Through extensive research and analysis, Mrs. Garnett paints a vivid picture of the scandal that rocked Georgian England and its lasting impact on the lives of those involved. The Infamous John Friend is a compelling and insightful read for anyone interested in history, crime, and human nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
