Life
Brasbridge began business as a silversmith, with a good capital, in Fleet Street, London. Pleasure continually seduced him from his shop, and bankruptcy followed as a matter of course; but eventually he was re-established in business through the kindness of friends. In his eightieth year, hoping that his own indiscretions might prove a warning to others, he had published, at his own expense, his memoirs under the title of The Fruits of Experience. His book went through two printings in 1824. It has not been reprinted since. His portrait is prefixed. He died at Highgate on 28 February 1832.

gollark: I mean, I use Google Play for apps, but much of my stuff is from F-droid anyway.
gollark: Oh, I don't use Google services, but *lots of people* do.
gollark: > This problem is fine because I can use a partly working hacky workaround which creates other problems.
