The Infamous John Friend is a book written by Mrs. R. S. Garnett. The book provides a detailed account of the life and times of John Friend, a controversial figure of the 18th century. Friend was a physician, a philanthropist, and a socialite who was known for his extravagant lifestyle and his close association with the royal family. However, he was also accused of being a fraud and a charlatan, and his reputation was tarnished by scandal and controversy. Mrs. Garnett's book explores the many facets of Friend's life and character, and provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural milieu of the Georgian era. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine, philanthropy, and society in 18th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
