At this period there lived two beaux,
one of whom Lord Byron called the
greatest of the three great men of the
nineteenth century; placing himself
third, Napoleon second and Beau Bruna-
nell first.
Possibly Byron was correct in one
sense, Brummell was as great in his
own line as the Corsican was in his.
Both rose from obscurity by unlimited
self-assurance, and it may have re-
CURED as much administrative power to
subiugate the arrogant though disor-
dered British society, as to take the
lead of the French at a time when they
were fairly crying for leader. One OF
Brummell's defenders declares ''he was
no fop, but merely the best dressed
man Of his day. We would all have
dressed like him if we could" This
statement may be considered along with
the fact that, the Beau never removed
his hat even to lady, as it might have
disarranged the hairs Of his wig, and
besides might not have been replaced
in the same exact position. His boots,
which he BACKED with champagne, were
always polished on the bottom of the
sole. All are familiar with his famous
snub of the prince of Wales, when he
audibly inquired upon the princes bow
ing to his companion and ignoring
Brummell: ''Ah, who's your fat friend?''
Beau Nash, the McAllister of the past,
was styled "King of Bath" He was
the son of a humble glassblower, but
rose, by the power of impudence and a
fine coat, to position which enabled
him to refuse Princess Amelia another
dance and to snatch off the white apron
of duchess, with the remark that only
kitchen maids wore aprons.
Neither Brummen nor Nash had the
sense to die soon enough; but while the
former ended his days in slovenly pow
erty and imbecility at Calais, Nash was
more fortunate. He was claimed by
death ('sand much good it got of him, y
