Description
Excerpt from The Life of Robert Coates: Better Known as Romeo and Diamond Coates, the Celebrated ''Amateur of Fashion''
Apologies are so frequently used in Pre faces to biographies that in this case we do not propose to offer any, believing that a plain and impartial narrative of the career of the late Robert Coates may give entertainment to some and instruction to many. No man endured the ordeal of severe public criticism more stoically; the frequent misrepresentation of his purposes would have been resented to the utmost by many; in only one instance did he fail to ignore it.
