Mordaunt by Moore is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of Charles Mordaunt, the third Earl of Peterborough, a British military commander and diplomat in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The book follows Mordaunt's life from his youth as a rebellious and adventurous young man to his rise in the military and his diplomatic missions across Europe. The novel also explores Mordaunt's personal relationships, including his complicated love life and his friendships with notable figures such as Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. Through Mordaunt's experiences, the book provides a vivid portrayal of the political and social landscape of the time, including the War of the Spanish Succession and the rise of the British Empire. With rich historical detail and engaging characters, Mordaunt by Moore is a captivating read for fans of historical fiction and British history.As the seduction of men was her object, she chose the form of a beautiful woman; and, according to the ballad, she was very successful. It was no unusual stratagem of hers to tempt men to commit crimes, for which they were imprisoned; and then, conveying herself through the key-hole, to tempt them to mortgage their soul to Satan, in order to obtain their liberty; which they no sooner did, than, the roof of the prison rising to infernal music, the deluded miscreant was conveyed several leagues through the air, and then dashed against some desert rock, or dropped into the sea and never more heard of.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
