Celebrated Edward W Ley Mt Edified by a Wandering Life

Edward W Ley Mt Esqaade died returning from Venice to England. His life mixed remarkable exploits and excess, with multiple wives in different nations and a restless career as a parliament member. He lived in eastern fashion, spoke several languages, published works on empires and earthquakes, and died after a life of dissolute wandering. Infinite mercy may balance his virtues and faults in the final reckoning.
