Book Description

Excerpt from Miss. Kilmansegg and Her Precious Leg: A Golden Legend Miss Kilmansegg And Her Precious Leg. A Golden Legend. Her Pedigree. To trace the Kilmansegg pedigree, To the very root of the family tree, Were a task as rash as ridiculous: Through antediluvian mists as thick As London fog such a line to pick Were enough, in truth to puzzle old Nick, - Not to name Sir Harris Nicholas. It wouldn't require much verbal strain To trace the Kill man, perchance, to Cain; But, waiving all such digressions, Suffice it, according to family lore, A Patriarch Kilmansegg lived of yore, Who was famed for his great possessions.
