The following adapted from: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-400-hottest-new-yorkersof-1892
"He published a memoir, Society As I Have Found It, (in which he was said to have come) across as an overweening blowhard. The press he had so cultivated turned him into a figure of fun.
Doors closed to him all over town. He died, dining alone in the Union Club on January 1895. His funeral was attended by Cornelius Vanderbilt but not by Caroline Astor." ~• Anthony Haden-Guest
