Sir Nathanial William Wraxall (1751–1831), traveller and writer, served as an MP from 1780 to 1794 and was made a baronet in 1813. Upon publication in 1815, his memoirs were an immediate, though controversial, success: 1,000 copies sold out within five weeks.
Though derided and slighted by his contemporaries, Wraxall can be said to have had the last laugh, for his Historical Memoirs and Posthumous Memoirs, covering political events between 1772 and 1789, have ensured that he is still remembered.
