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: Your argument seems to just be "I totally trust this giant profit-maximizing entity composed of thousands of people and also everyone associated with it and everyone who might be associated with it in the future".
gollark: No, you're insufficiently paranoid.
gollark: If you're a political activist or something, they can dredge up old data to discredit you.
gollark: Perhaps nobody there *does* care now. That's probably true, even. But let's imagine you become somewhat important some day, somehow?
gollark: Once they have your data, you can't revoke it.
