Richard Penderell, and his brother \Villiam, were chiefly instru-
Inental to the escape of Charles II. after the fatal battle of ,y orces-
ter. There were six brothers of this family, who rented little farms
on the borders of Staffordshire, and were frequently employed as
labourers in cutting down timber. The king took shelter, the first
night after his escape, at \Vhite Ladies, a house belonging to the
Giffards, about twenty miles frmu \V orcester. I-Iere he put on a
leather doublet and a green jerkin, cut his hair short, and threw his
clothes into a privy. Richard went with him into a wood, where
he was concealed the whole day; during which time he had no-
thing to eat or drink. He afterward attended him many lniles on
foot, and came back with him to one of his brother's houses, where
he found Major Careless, who accompanied him in B03cobel \V ood,
where they concealed themselves in an oak. The Penderells and
1\lrs. Lane were among the s111all number of loyalists who were re..
warded after the restoration. Richard died 8 Feb. 1671, and lies
buried in the church of St. Giles's in the Fields, London, where a
monument is erected to his memory. The author of his epitaph
styles him " the great and unparalleled Penderell." See particulars
in an " Account of the Preservation of Charles II. after the Battle
of \V orcester; drawn up by himself, and published from the l\'Ia-
nuscript in the Pepysian Library, by Sir David Dalrymple."*"

· It a()pcars. from the notes on this account, that Richard was the third brother of
the Pellderells. and that he was commonly called Trusty Riehm'd. He and his fiV"e
brethren lived at or near Tr"ite Ladies. in a little farm within the wood. They were
employed in cutting down timber and watching it to prevent its being stolen. They
subsisted chiefly upon the profit of some cow-grass. All the brothers were privy to
the secret of the king's concealment; but Richard went many miles with him to
assist him in his escape.t

Jack Ogle, who some time rode privately in the first troop of
guards, was notorious for his frolics and low humour. He inherited
a small estate, which he presently dissipated; and had afterward
recourse to the gaming-table, with various success. It is said, that
in a run of ill luck he lost his cloak, and borrowed his landlady's
red petticoat to carry with him to a muster; and that the Duke of
Monmouth having a hint of it, ordered the whole troop to cloak, on
purpo
e to expose him. * One of his frolics had like to have cost
him his life. Having a quarrel in the streets with a French officer
of the foot-guards, who was a man of humour like himself, a chal-
lenge ensued, and they agreed to go into the fielùs to fight. A rab-
ble followed them in great expectation of a duel. Before they got
thither the quarrel was made up; but they ran with precipitation,
as if they were eager to engage, and leaped into a saw-pit. Hf;re
they were discovered in a very ridiculous posture, as if they were
easing themselves. The disappointed mob presently saluted them
with a shower of stones and brickbats. I-Iard drinking, and an in-
famous distemper, are supposed to have hastened his death, which
happened in the 39th year of his age. His sister, who waited on
the Countess of lnchequin, was said to have been one of the Duke
of York's rnistres3es.

Titus Oates, who was restrained by no principle human or divine,
and like Judas would have done any thing for thirty slÛllings, was
one of the most accomplished villains that we read of in history.
He was successively an Anabaptist, a Conformist, and a Papist;
and then became a Conformist again. He had been chaplain on
board the fleet, whence he was dismissed for an unnatural crime,
and was known to be guilty of peIjury before he set up the trade of
witnessing. - He was successful in it beyond his most sanguine
expectation: he was lodged at 'Vhitehall, and had a pension as-
signed hin1 of 1200l. a year. He wa3 a Inan of some cunning,
more effrontery, and the most consummate falsehood. His im-
pudence supported itself under the strongest conviction, and he
suffered for his crimes, with all the constancy of a martyr. The
era of Oates's plot, was also the grand era of 'Vhig and Tory;
and he has the peculiar inftimy of being the first of incendiaries, as "-
he was the first of witnesses.-See the next reign.

'ViHiam BecHoe, who assumed the title of captain, was an in-
famous adventurer of low birth, who had travelled over a great'
part of Europe under different names and disguises, and had
passed upon several ignorant persons for a man of rank and for-
tune. Encouraged by the success of Oates, he turned evidence,
gave an account of Godfrey's murder, and added many circum-
stances to the narrati\re of the former. These villains had the
boldness to accuse the queen of entering into a conspiracy against
the king's life. A reward of 5001. was voted to Bedloe by the
commons. He is said to have asserted the reality of the plut on
his death-bed: but it abounds with absurdity, contradiction, and
perjury; and still remains one of the greatest problems in the'
British annals. Db. Aug. 20, 1680.-Giles Jacob informs us, that

Miles Prance, a silversmith, was accused by one ,V ren, and also
by Bedloe, of being an accomplice in the Inurcler of Sir Ednlund
Bury Godfrey. This he at first strenuously denied. But he was
said to be so powerfully wrought upon by the Earl of Shaftesbury,
as not only to confess himself guilty, but also to accuse two popish
priests, together with Green, Berry, and Hill, of being concerned
in the same crime. His testimony was, in .some instances, con-
tradictory to Bedloe's, and even to itself. He was tried, and con-
victed of perj ury; but having retracted his evidence in several
particulars relative to" the plot, his puni:shment was remitted. It

rkable that lVlr. L'E::;trange, who had been accused by him
of a secret disaffection to the government, received the sacrament
presently after him, from the hands of Dr. Sharp, rector of St.
Giles's in the Fields; and that he then" solenlnly declared, before
the congregation, that he wished that sacrament Inight be his
damnation, if what that man had sworn or published concerning
him, was not totally and
bsoluteIy false:'. Prance, though chal-
lenged in this solemn manner, did not speak a word in his own

Stephen Dugdale, who had been a servant of Lord Aston, be-
came an evidE'nce against that nobleman, the Earl of Stafford, and
other persons of distinction. It appeared that the latter was at
Bath, at the time in which he deposed that he saw him at Tixal.
This man was not altogether so infamous as Oates and BedJoe;
but his testimony was equally contradictory and incredible. Tur-
berville was another witness of the same stamp. The d

severations of the persons condemned upon tbe oaths of these
wretches, have no inconsiderable weight, when thrown into the
scale against their personal characters.

JOSIAH KEELING; in Cauificld's "Renzarkable

Josiah Keeling, a salter in London, having unadvisedly arrested
the lord-mayor at the suit of Papillon and Dubois, the two ex-
cluded sheriffs,thought it prudent to make a discovery of the Rye-
house plot, to screen himself from the law. This plot, whether
real or fictitious, occasioned the shedding of SOlne of the best blood
in the kingdom, and completed the triumph of the royal party.
We are told, that upon this discovery of Keeling, " a new evidence
office was erected at Whitehall,". and that care was taken to
select such judges and juries as would answer the purposes of the
court.t An elaborate account of the Rye-house conspiracy, of
which the Duke of York had the garbling,! was written by Dr.
Sprat. The author has been so ingenuous as to retract the enor-
mous falsehoods with which he had charged Lord Russel, in that
book.
Many lnore retractions are required, to Inake it an au-
thentic history. The" Secret I-listory of the Rye-house Plot,"
written by Ford, lord Grey, is worth the reader's notice.

concessions as the commons might require of him. When the par-
Jiament sat at Oxford, he went about armed with sword and pistol,
which furnished a pretence for his accusation. The court party,
who watched for an opportunity to retaliate a plot upon the ex-
clusionists, persecuted him with unrelenting violence. Dugdale
and other infamous witnesses, who had been informers against the
Papists, were retained against him. He defended himself with
great spirit and ability, to the confusion of his adversaries: but the
jury, who were all zealous royalists, brought him in guilty. He
behaved with a becoming fortitude at the place of execution, and
persisted in asserting his innocence to the last.. He was executed
at Oxford, 31st August, 1681.-He was a man of a more enlarged
understanding than is commonly found in mechanics. His in-
genuity in his trade procured him employment among persons of
rank; some of whom he was afterward permitted to visit upon the
foot of a friend. His faults were, being too pragmatical, and in-
discreetly zealous for his religion.-His daughter was seamstress
to King \Villiam, a place worth 300l. a year. Dr. Swift informs
us, that" this noble person" and himself were brought acquainted
by Lady Berkeley. See Swift's "Letters," vol. iv. p. 336, edit.

Thomas Venner, a wine-cooper, who acquired a competent
estate by his trade, was reputed a man of sense and religion, before
his understanding was bewildered with enthusiasm. He was so
strongl y possessed with the notions of the Millenarians, or Fifth
l\Ionarchy Men, that he strongly expected that Christ was con1ing
to reign upon earth, and that all human government, except that
of the saints, was presently to cease. He looked upon Cronnvell
and Charles II. as usurpers upon Christ's dominion, and persuaded
his 'u:eak brethren, that it was their duty to rise and seize upon the
kingdom in his name. Accordingly a rabble of them, with Venner
at their head, assembled in the streets, and proclaimed King Jesus.
They we
e attacked by a party of the militia, whom they resolutely
engaged; as many of them believed themselves to be invulnerable.
They were at length overpowered by numbers, and their leader,

John Kelsey went to Constantinople, upon no less a design than
tbat of converting the Grand Signior. He preached at the corner of
one of the streets of that city, with all the vehemence of a fanatic:
but as he spoke in his own language, the people stared at him, but
could not so much as guess at the drift of his discourse. They soon

The most signal instance of pure enthusiasm, that IJath ever occurred to me, is
that of 1\lr. J ohn
Iason, minister of 'Vater Stratford, near Buckingh:lIu. He ",'a!
a man of great simplicity of behaviour, of the most unaffected piet)', and of learIlipg
and abilities far abO\'e the common level, till he was bewildered by the mysteries
of Calvinism, and infatuated with millenary notions. This calm and grave entlm-
siast was as firmly persuaded as he was of his own existence, and as strongly per-
suaded others, that he was the Elias appointed to proclaim tbe approach of Christ,
who was speedily to begin the millennium and fix his throne at 'Vater Stratford.
Crowds of people assembled at this place who were fully convinced that this great
era would presently commence; and especially after Mason had, in the most solemn
manner, affirmed to his sister and several other persons, that, as he Jay on his bcd,
he saw Christ in all his majesty. Never was there a scene of more frantic joy, ex-
pressed by singing, fiddling, dancing, and all the wildness of enthusiastic gestures
and rapturous vociferation, than was, for some time, seen at Stratford; where it
Inixed multitude aS5embied to hail the approach of King Jesus. :Every vagabond
and viJIage fiddJer that could be procured bore a part in the rude concert at this
tumultuous jubilee. 1\lason was obsern

Jlad no relation to his wild notions of religion. He died in 1695, soon after he

concluded him to be out of his senses, and carried him to a n1ad-
house, where he was confined for six months. One of the keepers
happening to hear him speak the word English, informed Lord
'Vinchelsea, who was then ambassador to the Porte, that a mad
countryman of his was then under confinement. His lordship sent
for him; and he appeared before him in a torn and dirty hat, which
he could not, by any means, be persuaded to take oft: The an1ba8-
sador thought that a little of the Turkish discipline would be of ser-
vice to him, and presently ordered him to be drubbed upon the feet.
This occasioned a total change in his behaviour, and he acknow-
ledged that the drubbing had a good t;ffect upon his spirit. Upon
searching his pockets a letter was found addressed to the great
Turk, in which he told him, that he was a scourge in the hand of
God to chastise the wicked; and that he sent hiln not only to de-
nounce, but to execute vengeance. He was put on board a ship
bound for England, but found means to escape in his passage, and
returned to Constantinople. He was soon after sent on board an-
other ship, and so effectually secured, that he could not escape a
second time. '111:

paid to what he taught and enjoined himself. He esteemed the
Scripture a dead letter, and resolved every thing into his own pri-

all the world that differed from his own mode of faith. His disciples
are said to have recorded many of his prophecies. He began to
distinguish himself about the year 1650.- His books, for writing
which he was pilloried and imprisoned, were burnt by the common

September, 1513; that he had "sworn in Chancery and other
courts to above one hundred and forty years memory;" and that
there is a record preserved in the king's remembrancer's office, in
the Exchequer, by which it appears, that" Henry Jenkins, of Eller-
ton upon Swale, labourer, aged 157, was produced, and deposed as
a witness." In the last century of his life he was a fisherman; and
when he was no longer able to follow that occupation, he went
begging about Bolton, and other places in Yorkshire. He died in
December, 1670, and lies buried at Bolton, where, in 1743, a monu-
n1ent was erected to his memory. He was one of the oldest men of

TURNER, &c. J. Cau!lield.
James Turner, a goldsmith, in London, and lieutenant-colonel of
the city militia, was, for some time, esteemed a man of a genteel
spirit, which was always observed to carry him far beyond the limits
of his fortune. His vices and extravagancies not only exhausted
his patrinlony, which was very considerable, but also involved him
in debt. Hence he betook himself to the lowest arts and most
vil1anous practices to Inaintain the figure of a gentleman. He was
executed for robbing the house of Mr. Francis Try ton, a merchant,
of jewels, and other things of value, to the.amount of about 60001.
I-Ie was executed for this burglary in Lime-street, London, 22 Jan.
1663-4. He expressed a true sense of his guilt at the place of
execution, and desired the minister who attended to read to him
the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth
verses, of the second chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews. He
left forty shillings to be distributed among the poor of the parish
where he suffered, and eighteen shillings and sixpence only to his
wife. See the "Relation," &c. p. 25.

successful in both these enterprises: it was with no small difficulty
that the duke escaped, and the crown was wrested from his hands.
The cunning of this boldest of all thieves was equal to his intre-
pidity. He told the king, by whom he was examined, that he had
undertaken to kill him; and that he went, with that purpose, to a
place in the river where he bathed; but ,vas struck with so profound
an awe upon sight of his (naked) majesty that his resolution failed
him,
nd he entirely laid aside his design: that he belonged to a
band of ruffians equally desperate with himself, who had bound
themselves by the strongest oaths to revenge the death of any of
their associates. Upon this he received the royal pardon, and had
a handsome pension assigned him. He was now no longer con-

treacherously sold him soon after he landed on that shore. 'Vhen
be had obtained his liberty, he went to Jamaica to seek his fortune.
IIere he fell in with some freebooters, and entered on board one of
their ships; and having displayed his courage on several occasions,
}]e, in a short time, became a captain. He was afterward vice-
admiral under MansveJt, an old pirate of prime notoriety, who died
soon after he engaged himself in his service. If the courage of
Morgan had been properly directed, it would have done him the
greatest honour: it was perhapi not inferior to that of 1\lonck or
Rupert; and several of his stratagems were as extraordinary as his
courage. But he was rapacious, cruel, and debauched, in the same
degree that he was valiant. The cruelties exercised on the Indians
by the Spaniards were not equal to what that people suffered by his
9rders, to make them discover their hidden treasures, after he had
taken and plundered their towns. The greatest of his exploits was
taking Panama, which he burnt and piHaged, after he had, with
twelve hundred 111en, defeated the governor, at the head of two
quadrons of horse, four regiments of foot, and a great number of
wild bulls, driven by Indian slaves.* One hundred and seventy-
five beasts of burden were laden with the gold, silver, and other
valuables which he took in that city. See a circumstantial account

BIOG RAPIIICAL IIISTOH. Y
This infamous woman was, from the natural effects of prostitution
in her youth, far advanced in the decline before she had arrived at
the meridian of her life. lIeI' great experience in her former occu-
pation qualified her for a procuress; and she S0011 became an adept
in aU the diabo1ical arts of seduction. She lived in town in the
winter, and sometimes retired into the country, where she provided
convenient lodgings for her customers, some of whom were persons
of ùistinction. Though she appeared in her real character in the
stews, she could assume a very decent behaviour upon proper occa-
sions; and frequently decoyed young unsuspecting girls to London,
in hopes of preferment. She kept a very extensive correspondence,
and was, by her spies and emissaries, informed of the rising beauties
in different parts of the kingdom. The trade which she professed
was perhaps carried to a great,er height at this period than any other.
This is plainly hinted at by a man of wit and pleasure, who some-
times dealt with her:
" To an exact perfection they have brought
The action love, the passion is forgot."*

that, for his fce, he would forcc bis conscience to flattery. For onc thing, said the

IVIARY CARLETON, called the German Princess,
Æt. suæ 38. J. Caulfield.
This woman, who had more alias's to her name than any rogue in
the kingdom, was the daughter of a musician at Canterbury. IIer
first husband was a shoemaker of that city, from whom she eloped
after four years' cohabitation. In a year or two after her elopclucnt,
she married one Day a surgeon, whom she soon forsook, and went
into France and Germany, where she learned the languages of those
countries, and robbed and cheated several persons. Soon after her
return to England, sbe was married to John Carleton, the son of a
citizen in London, who pretended to be a nobleman. This man, as
well as many others, is said to have taken her for a German princess,
at least a woman of quality. She was soon after tried at the Old
Bailey, for bigamy, and acquitted: upon this she published an art-
ful vindication of herself, to which was prefixed her portrait. She
was afterward an actress in one of the theatres. The rest of her
life is a continued course of theft, robbery, and imposture; in which,
as she had a quick invention, great cunning, and an insinuating ad-
dress, she was, perhaps, never exceeded.-If Mary Carleton llad
actually been a princess, she had parts sufficient to have tluown a
kingdom into confusion; and might have done as much miscbief as
Catharine de Medicis did in France, or Henrietta Maria in England.

with her husband the highwayman. The latter part seemed the
n10st comfortable of their lives. She died in London near the age
of 77, probably about 1680, as Dan. de Foe wrote her life in 1683.

and after his leader was knocked down, he continued to fight along
\V ood-street and Cripplegate, to the Blue Anchor alehouse, by the
Postern, where the party defended themselves most desperately,
some being shot, and others taken. But the Inost singular instance
of f..antic enthusiasm, was in one James Ball, a small-coal-man,
who, although he was not engaged in the rencontre, after the execu-
tion of those concerned, came forward, and publicly held a con-
venticle on the same doctrine, and ceased not until he was appre-
hended, tried, convicted, and executed at Tyburn N ov. 27, 1661 :

and embracing him on his way to the gallows, so highly were these

This very mysterious person was a younger brother of a respect-
able family, and having through friends procured a commission in
the army, went to serve in Flanders; where he had not long con-
tinued, before he was broke for cowardice, and became so reduced in
circumstances, as to accept forty shil\ings from a friend, to pay his
passage back to England. Here, within a short time after his arri-
val, he appeared, to the astonislullcnt of the public, the brightest star
in the hemisphere: his coaches, saddle, hunting, and race-horses,
equipage, dress, and table, were the admiration of the world, and
continued so while they saw him maintain such profuse an expense,
without any visible means to support this glory. He never played,
or but inconsiderably, entertained with profuseness all who visited
him, drank himself liberally; but at all hours, as well sober as
otherwise, he kept a strict guard upon his words; though several
were either employed by the curiosity of others, or their own, to
take him at his looser moments, and persuade him to reveal his
secret: but he so inviolably preserved it, that even their guesses
were but at random, and without probability or foundation. He
was not known to be an admirer of ladies; and what added to the
surprise, was, that he was at all timcs to bc found, and cvcr with
s()mc of his own people, seemingly upen in convcrsation, free from
spleen or shagrin; in a word, he had that settled air, as if he were

assured his good fortune would continue for ever. One of his frienù
advised him to purchase an estate while he had money: Mr. \Vilson
thanked him, but said, he did not forget the future in the present:
he was obliged to hiIIl for his counsel, but whilst he lived, it would
be ever thus, for he was always certain to be ma
ter of such a sum
of money. This more and more confounded the world, for if they
would say he derived his good fortune from the ladies, tllere was
scarce any rich enough to support him,. neither did he bestow any
of his time unaccounted for; and it was not to be believed the
fair sex would not exact attention and service for their money,
especially for such considerable sums. Those who pretended to
guess better, had recourse to chYlnistry, and said he had found the
grand secret, and was master of that invaluable transmllting slonc,
or powder, which could convert meaner metals into gold. Some
blasted his reputation with the report, that he must once have
robbed a Holland mail of a considerable quantity of rough di:l-
Illonds; though another person suffered for the offence, denying the
fact to the last. Others would have it, that the Jews kept him,
with many other idle and ridiculous reports, which were circulated
concerning him, until the time he was found killed, going to fight a
duel with a Mr. Law, who it is reported ran him through tile body,
befure he could draw his sword in his own defence. Mr. 'Vilsoll
lived in unabated splendour to the last, and the mystery rather
augmented than diminished, when a very inconsideraLle sun1 of
money being all that could be found after his death, left the world
to conjecture from what source or funds he had derived means to
support his state and magnificence.

REl\fARKS ON DRESS.
The l\Ionmouth, or military cock of the hat, was much worn in
tbis reign, and continued a considerable timp in fashion.
The periwig, which had been long used in France, was intro-
duced into En gland soon after the restoration.
There is a tradition, that the large black wig which Dr. R. (aw-
linson) bequeathed"amOllg other things of much less consideration,
to the Bodleian Library, was worn by Charles 11.*
Some men of tender consciences were great1y scandalized at
this article of dress, as equally indecent with long hair; and more
culpable, because more unnatural. l\Iany preachers inveighed
against it in their sermons, and cut their hair shorter, to express
their abhorrence of the reigning mode.
_ It was observed, that a periwig procured many persons a respect,
and even veneration, which they were strangers to before, and to
which they had not the least claim from their personal merit. The
judges, and physicians, who thoroughly understood this magic of
the wig, gave it aU the advantage of length, as well as size.
The extravagant fondness of some 111en for this unnatural orna-
ment is scarce credible: I have heard of a country gentleman who
employed a painter to place periwigs upon the heads of several
of V andycks' s portraits.
Mr. Wood informs us, that Nath. Vincent, D. D. chaplain in
ordinary to the king, preached before him at N ewmarket, in a long
periwig and Holland sleeves, according to the then fashion for
gentlemen; and that his majesty was so offended at it, that he
commanded the Duke of Monmouth, chanceHor to the university
of Cambridge, to see the statutes concerning ùecency of apparel
put in execution; which was done accordingly.-t
.
.. cc As to the king's more private ordering his family, in tbe beginning of October.
1666, his majesty, tu promote frugality and decency in hahit, and to discourage the
xtravagancy of French fashions, made a solemn and percmptory declaration Ðf the
fashion of his apparel, which he rcsulved to wear for the future. It was strait
Spanish breeches: instead uf a doublet, a long v('st down to the mid-leg; and above
that a loose coat, after the l\Iuscovite or Pulish way; the sword girt over the v('st;
and instead of shoes and stockings, a pair of buskins or brodekins. 'Which habit
was found to be very decent and becoming to his majesty, and was for a considerable
time used and followed by the chief of his conrticrs."-Eacharu's cc History of
England," ii. p. 836.

BIOGRAPJIICAL IIISTORY
The satin cap was no longer worn, and the formal screwed-up
face was, for the most part, changed for a more natural and uncon..
strained aspect.-
The lace neckcloth became in fashion in this, and continued to
be worn in the two following, reigns.
Open sleeves, pantaloons, and shoulder knots, were also worn
at this period, which was the era of shoe-buckles: but ordinary
people, and such as affected plainness in their garb, continued for
a long time after, to wear strings in their shoes.
The clerical habit which, before it is grown rusty, is a very
decent dress, seems not to have been worn in its present form
before the reign of Charles II.t
The ladies' hair was curled and frizzled with the nicest art, and
they frequently set it off with heartbreakers.! Sometimes a string
of pearls, or an ornament of riband, was worn on the head; and, in
tbe latter part of this reign, hoods of various kinds were in fashion.
Patching and painting the face, than which nothing was more
common in France, was also too common among the larlies in Eng-
land.
But what was much worse, they affected a mean betwixt
dress and nakedness; which occasioned the publication of a book,
entitled "A just and seasonable Reprehension of naked Breasts
· Dr. Eachard tells us, that we hall a great plenty of f'eligiousfal'e-makers in the late
zealous times.1I "Then it was," says he, u that godliness chiefly consisted in tho
management of the eye; and he that had tlle least pupil was the most righteous,
because most easily concealed by the rolling white. Then it was that they would
scarce let a round. faced man go to heaven; but if he had but a little blood in his
cheeks his condition was counted very dangerous; and it was almost an infallible
sign of absolute reprobation." Nothing is more certain than that black satin caps,
tipped and edged with white, were then worn by some divines to give an appear-
ance of languor and mortification to the countenance.
It has been gravely asserted by some presbJterian writers that the cloak is apos-
toHcal, as we read that St. Paul lift his cloak at Troas.
But, for this very reason,
it may be concluded, that he did 110t constantly preach in it.
t As to the form of the ancient clerical habit, see in Jo. Johnson's" Collection of
Ecclesiastical Laws," &c. the second constitution of Archbi:shop Stratford, in 1343.
Thiers, in his u Treatise of Perukes," informs us, that 110 ecclesiastics wore a
band.. before the middle of the last ceutury. or a peruke before the restoration.

sunt, in quibus nihil est quo defendi aut corpus, aut denique pudor
possit: quibus sumptis, n1ulier parum liquido nuclam se non esse

It appears from the" Memoires de Grammont," that green stock-
ings were worn by one of the greatest beauties of the English court.
If anyone would inform hin1self of the dresses worn by our
ancestors, he should make his observations in country churches,
in the remote parts of the kingdom; where he may see a great
variety of modes of ancient standing. It is not unusual among
people of the lower classes, for a Sunday coat to descend from
father to son; as it is put on the moment before the wearer goes
to church, and taken off as soon as he returns home. I have seen
several old women in beaver hats, which I have good reason to
believe were made in the reign of Charles the Second."t

the crown in 1660, and was invested with the ensigns of the Garter
by Charles Howard, earl of Carlisle, and Henry St. George, esq.

Richmond herald. He was a good soldier; of which he gave
some signal proofs in his wars with the Danes, the
larquis of Bran-
denburgh, and the Duke of Brunswick Lunenburg. He was a
prince of great penetration, frugality, and industry; but proud,
selfish, and ty
nnical. I-Je deprived the senate of the share in the
government which they had formerly possessed, and erected an
arbitrary court called "the Chamber of I.iquidations," by which
lllultitudes of his subjects were reduced to extreme poverty and
distress. His haughty and severe treatment of his queen, who was
one of the best of women, threw her into a distemper that hastened
her death. He died the 15th of ApriJ, 1687, and was succeeded
by his son Charles XII. The queen-regent, his mother, buried
him with more pomp than had been seen in Sweden, and obliged
her subjects to nlourn for him three years.
Christian, king of Dennlark, and Frederick 'ViBiam, marquis of
Brandenburg, surnamed the Great, were.also elected knights of the
Garter, in this reign.

Cosmo de Medicis (or l\1:edices), prince of Tuscany, having made
the tour of Spain and France, came into England in the beginning
of the year 1669, where he was treated with great ceremony and
respect, especially by the two universities. He was shewn what-
ever was curious, and visited several persons of rank and eminence,
particularly Mr. Hobbes, who made him a present of his works,
together with his picture; and the same year, dedicated to him
his book, " De Quadratura Circuli." -In 1670 he succeeded his
father, Ferdinand II. in the dukedom. He married Margaret
Loujse, daughter to Gaston John Baptist, of France, duke of
Orleans; by whom he had two sons, and one daughter, namely,
l

pen:; 1662.
The Cardinal de Retz, who, in the early part of his life, affected to
be the beau, the gallant, and the duellist, entered into holy orders
with reluctance, and purely in obedience to the comlnands of his
father. I-Ie was a man of an insinuating adùress, persuasive elo-
quence, and vehement thirst of power. Many of the greatest men
and women in France were the tools of his wanton ambition, and
helped to place him at the head of a faction that expelled Mazarine
from the kingdom. He proceeded so far as to set a price upon his
head. But his triumph was of short duration: his great and lofty
spirit was presently humbled, and Mazarine triumphed in his turn.
He was, in the latter part of his life, after the fervour of his passions
had spent itself, a truly good and amiable character. He has
drawn his own portrait in his" Memoirs;' which are numbered with
the classic writings of his age and country.* The Earl of Claren-
don informs us, that he was so ingenuous as to tell Charles II. that
if he changed his religion, he would never be restored to his king-
doms.t Yet it is sufficiently evident that he applied to the pope
in that prince's behalf, to entreat his holiness to lend hin1 some
assistance towards his restoration.! It is certain that the cardinal
was in England incognito, soon after that fortunate cvent.

Hannibal Sehested, lord of Tybierg, and grand treasurer of Den-
mark, is celebrated in the history of that country, for his valour anù
conduct as a general, and his knowledge, ability, and address, as a
statesman and ambassador. In the
eign of Christian IV. he was,
for his eminent services, rewarded with the vice-royalty of Norway,
where he led the king's forces against the Swedes, with such signal
success, that this war is in the annals of Denmark distinguished by
the appellation of The TVar of Hannibal. In the reign of Frederic III.
he, for secret reasons, was deprived of his governnlent of Norway,
forbidden to appear at court, and degraded from his rank; and the
bulk of his fortune was C' lfiscated. In 1655, he retired with his
family to Antwerp, where he entered into the service of Charles II.
who employed him in several negotiations.* He was afterward
taken prisoner by the Swedes, and was some time with their army
which was to act against Denmark. During his captivity, he did
Frederic such eminent service, that, when a peace was concluded
with Sweden, he was received by him with open arms, and perfectly
reinstated in his confidence and favour. He was afterward sent in
quality of ambassador extraordinary to the courts of England anù
France. Ob. 1666.

his residence in England, which was about seven years, he became

invited to Paris by Lewis XIV. who appointed him a handsome
stipend. He continued at Paris from 1666 to 1681, where he had
a noble apartment near the royal library. He grew insane some
years before his death, of which he discovered the first symptoms
by playing with a tame sparrow, and neglecting his mathematical
studies.. He died at the IIague, June 8, 1695, in the 67th year

Count Koningsmark was a native of Dresden, in Saxony, and the

He served in the army, both in France and Italy, before he came
into England; where his handsome person and genteel address
soon rendered him acceptable to the ladies. He was a great fre-
quenter of the Dutchess of Mazarine's, where he won con
iderabIe
sums at play, at which he was relnarkably dexterous. He sought
the Lady Elizabeth Ogle, heiress of the house of Northumberland,
in marriage; and is supposed to have suborned three assassins,
Uratz, Borosky, and Stern, to murder Thomas Thynne, esq. to
whom she was contracted. William, earl of Devonshire, who was
firmly persuaded of his guilt, sent him a challenge soon after his
trial, which he accepted. They agreed to fight on the sands of
Calais, but the count never nlct his adversary. He is said to haY(>

his body was found under a floor.. The three assassins were hanged

John Baptist Colbert, n1arquis of Seignelay, eldest son of the
great Colbert, was formed under his father, and succeeded him in
the important office of secretary of state, to which he seemed en-
titled from his natural and acquired abilities. Before he was pre-
ferred to this office, he paid particular attention to the n1arine, which,
under his management, became respectable, at least, throughout
Europe. One of the first and most men10rable of his exploits was
the' bombaràing of Genoa, upon a false and frivolous pretence of
Lewis XIV. This is one of those actions which impartial posterity
will weigh in the same equitable scale with the invasion of the
United Provinces and the burning of the Palatinate, and conse-
quently regard it with horror and detestation.! He particularly

I have heard it remarked, by several persons who have lately seen the Palati-

have the glory of fixing King James on the throne; but i11ness pre-
vented his embarkation with the fleet commanded by Tourvillf',
which, when King William was in J reland, spread terror throughout
the kingdom.*' Seignelay was fun of indignation at the ill success
of his project, which was soon after effectually defeated by the de-
cisive victory gained by the English fleet at La Hogue. He died
of a consumption, at Versailles, in 1690, aged thirty-nine years.

years after the restoration. He was under a necessity of leaving
France, as he had the temerity to make hi::; addresses to a lady to
whom Lewis XIV. was known to have a tender attachment. He

a story with inimitable grace and humour. Such was his vivacity,
that it infused life wherever he came; and, what rarely happens, it
was so inoffensive, that everyone of the company appeared to be as
happy as himself. He had great skill and success in play, and
seems to have been chiefly indebted. to it for his support. Several

l\Ionsieur de la Fontaine was certainly in England, and, I believe,
in the reign of Charles II. He is well known for his Fables and
Tales, which abound with elegance and native humour. He is not
free from obscenity; but it is far from being of the grossest kind.
Though his genius was truly comic, it was not adapted to the stage.
He wrote one comeùy, which had no success in the action; and,
what is worse, was universally thought to have deserved none. He
was very awkward at displaying his talent in conversation. He could
easily discover other men's characters, though they could not see
his; and often laughed inwardly at the fools that laughed appar-
ently at himself. Ob. 1695, Æt. 74.

Daniel George Morhof, a celebrated German writer, who is by
l\1:enage styled the best poet of his country, was in England in the
reign of Charles the Second.* His learning was extensive, his
judgment sound, and his taste perfectly refined. Few have been so
well acquainted with the various parts of learning, with the methods
of attaining them, and the authors ancient and modern, who have
written with approbation and applause on the different branches of
science. This is abundantly exemplified in his methodical, elabo-
rate, and wen-written work, entitled "Polyhistor Literarius, Phi-
losophicus, et Practicus," in three tomes. The first was published
in 1687; the other two after his decease. The third edition was
printed in 4to. in 1732; and. the fourth in 1747. It is worth the
reader's while to see what John Albert Fabricius says of this author,
in his second preface to the third edition of the" Polyhistor."

GREG. LETI, Æt. 63, 1693; 8vo.
Gregorio Leti, a native of Milan, came into England in the reign
of Charles II. by whom he was graciously received. He had a pro-
mise of being made the king's historiographer; but as his manner
of writing did not please, he received orders to leave the kingdom,
and in 1682 retired to Amsterdam. His works, especially his his-
tories and lives, are numerous, and said to be equal in nUll1ber to
the years of his life.-t I shall ll1ention only such as relate to Eng-
land; viz. "Il Teatro Britannico,"! printed at London, in two
volumes 4to. and reprinted at Amsterdam, in five volumes 12mo.
U La Vita del1a Regina EJizabetta;" "La Vita di Cromwell;"
" Poem a Hero-estorico, sopra miracolosa, intrapresa d'!nghilterra,
òel Real Principe d'Ûrange." Leti, in his historical works, has
much true and interesting history blended and debased with fable.
He is one of those writers to whOin we know not 110w to give credit,
unless his facts verify themselves, or are supported by nluch better
authority than his own. He, on some occasions, assumes all the
dignity of conceited ignorance, and relates his fictions with all the
confidence of a vain man, who thinks he cannot be contradicted.
His aim, indeed, was to please rather than to instruct, and he has,
with his anecdotes, frequently amused and misled his readers. En-
gaging talents in a faithless historian are as dangerous, in the repub-
lic of letters, as the agreeable nlanners of a profligate are in civil
society. See more of him in Morery's Dictionary. 9' Ob. 1701,

Samuel Joseph Sorbiere was born of obscure parents in France,
where he was some time private tutor to a younger son of the Count
de la Suze, and afterward an usher to a school. He was educated
in the Protestant religion, but reconciled himself to that of Rome,
and obtained considerable prefennent in the church. He studied
physic, history, and philology; was a professed admirer of Mr.
Hobbes, whose "Politics" he translated. He also translated Sir
Thomas More's "Utopia," and part of Camden's "Britannia," for
the great U Atlas," printed in Holland. He travelled into Italy,
Gern1any, and the Low Countries, where he insinuated himself into
the acquaintance of the literati, of whom Lewis XIV. styled hint the
TrUlnpeter. His Elogies of Gassendus, and De Marca, archbishop
of Paris, are among the most considerable of his works, and helped
to gain him the office of historiographer-royaL He was ev
r of a
rambling disposition, and had a strong propensity to pleasure. He
came into England in this reign; and it is observable that he tra-
velled from Dover to London in a common stage
waggon. He was
graciously received by the king, was elected fellow of the Royal
.Society, and had many civilities paid him by persons of distinction
and eminence. He, in his " Voyage to England," does justice to
the characters of some of our learned men; but is frequently par-
tial, false, and injurious in his representations of persons and things.
It can scarcely be supposed, that the metropolis, with all its inha-
bitants, nor indeed Great Britain itself, should make a very consi-
derable figure, when seen through the mediun1 of that vanity which
was extremely natural to a French pedant, and one who was then a
pensioner to the vainest prince in the world. He died the 9th of
April, 167 o. The author of his" Life" tells us, that finding his end
approaching, he took a large dose of laudanuln, on purpose to
die in a state of stupefaction. Dr. Sprat has well lashed this con-
ceited pedant with his own rod. See his spirited "Observations

THEODORE HAAK; from an original picture ill
tile Bodleian Gallcry, O
1.ford. E. l-Iarding sc. 4to.
Theodore Haak was born in the year 1605, at Worms, in the Pa-
latinate; but urged either hy a thirst of knowledge, or the troubled
state of afitlirs in his own country, he came to England when only
twenty years of age, and remained a short time at the universities of
Oxford and Catnbridge. From these he proceeded to visit the
several seats of learning in other countries; and having passed three
years in travelling, he entered himself a commoner of Gloucester-
hall, Oxford, in 1629, where he resided till 1632, but did not take a
degree, though he was admitted into deacon's orders by Dr. John
Hall, bishop of Exeter.
During the German wars, he was appointed a procurator to receive
the benevolence-money raised in several diocesses in England, to
be transmitted to the seat of war. He was afterward invited by
the elector palatine to accept the office of his secretary, which si-
tuation he declined, as wen as that of resident at London, for the
city of Hamburgh. But in consequence of the various opinions
which were entertained on questions of religion, and of the expe-
diency which Cromwell saw of directing the national attention to a
settled fornl of worship, a favourable opportunity offered of display-
ing and employing the talents and industry of Haak.
The Assembly of Divines, which met at 'V estminster in 1643, having
resolved that no better confession of faith could be presented to the
people than that declared by the synod of Dort, known by the title
of the Dutch Annotations; an ordinance was passed March 30th,
1649, forbidding aU persons, except Theodore Haak, or his assignees,
to publish any translation of the said work, on penalty of 1000l.
There is also an entry on the Journals, about the same time, " That
the services of Theodore Haak in Denmark, should be taken into
consirleration on that day three weeks."
To the translation (which was published in two volun1es fo1. in 1637)
an attestation was prefixed from the Assembly of Divines, com-
mending Haak for his "faithfulness in many public employments,
and his dexterity in translating many English books of practical
divinity in German."-Having passed his 1ife in pursuit of learning,
and contributed by his endeavours to the edification of mankind, he
died in the house of a kinsman, in an obscure alley near Fetter..lane,
on Sunday, IYlay 9, 1690; and was buried in a vault under the
chancel of St. Andrew's church, Holborn, lamented by the most

JOBUS LUDOLFU8, serenissimorum Saxoniæ Du-
cum Consiliarius intimus. BerJlig'eroth sc. Before his
" Life," ill Latill, by Juncker, 1710, small 8vo.
Job Ludolf, who was descended from a good family, at Erfurt,
in Thuringia, was a privy-counsellor to Frederic; duke of Saxony,
whose education he superintended. He also bore several honour-
able employments under the Emperor Leopold and some of the
electors of the empire. He was a master of music and other ele-
gant accomplishments, had a strong and clear head for business,
and acquitted himself with uncommon address as a public minister.
But his knowledge as a linguist is ahnost beyond credibility. He is
said to have understood five-and-twenty Janguages,* and had un-
doubtedly a more exact knowledge of the Ethiopic and old Abyssi-
nian than any learned man of his age. He was personally known
to Dr. Pococke, Dr. Hyde, and Dr. Edward Bernard, with whonl
he contracted an acquaintance at Oxford. He also visited IVlr.
BoyJe, Isaac V ossius, Dr. Castle, Sir 'Villiam Dugdale, Sir John
Chardin, and Mr. Ashmole, t in London. He was able to hold a
conversation with these eminent persons in English, having been
three times in this country. lIe came hither twice in the year 1683 ;
.. If we may credit his biographer, he learned the Hl'brew, Chaldee, Samaritan,Sy-
riae, Armeuian, aud surmounted almost all the diHìculties of the Arabic in one Jear.f
That he spoke the Ethiopic with a proper accent is an acknowledged fact. It is no less
certa;l1, that the aptness and facility of his genius for this kind of learning was to the
highest degree astonishing. If what is said of him be true, it gives credibility to the
tory of l\lilhridates, who must, however, he deemed his inferior as a linguist. But
jf he had well understood fi've only of th('se langu<1gcs, he would perhaps have been
unrivalled by any ancient or modern. It has, with great appearance of truth been
observed, that no man was ever a perfect mast('r of more than olle language, whicl1
lUust have beeu that ill which he has long been accustomed to write and converse.

once, at least, in pursuit of a scheme which he seems to bave hall
11luch at heart, and which was greatly approved of by Leopold.
This was to engage several of tbe European princes in a treaty of
commerce, and a league offensive and defensive with the King of
Ethiopia against the Turks, who threatened the empire; and con-
sequently the liberties of Europe. Charles II. received him gra-
ciously, paid attention to his proposal, and referred him to the East-

died the 8th of April, 1704, in the 80th year. of his age. Be-

Christian J uncker, subjoined to which is a curious specimen of the

Antoinette Bourignon was one of those devotees who imagine
themselves to be conducted by some particular inspiration. She was
born at Lisle in 1616, and was very much deformed. Iler father
had promised her in marriage to a Frenchman; but she determin-
ing not to marry, went away on Easter-day, 1636. Her design was
to retire into some desert; she clothed herself therefore like a her-
mit, and got forward as fast as she could; but in a village of I-Iain-
ault, somebody suspecting her to be a young woman, stopped her;
and it being tnentioned to the archbishop of Cambray, he came to
examine her, dissuaded her from a hermit's life, and obliged her
to return to her father. She was soon afterward persecuted with
proposals of n1arriage, which occasioned her to run away once more.
Among other places she resorted to in her wandering, she visited
Scotland in the reign of Charles II. She afterward was governess
of a hospital, and there locked herself up in a cloister, having taken
the order and habit of St. Augustin.-She published several books;
and died at Franekcr, in the province of Frisc, Oct. 30, 1680.

The history of this reign consists of little more than the weak and
irregular efforts of a bigoted and tyrannical prince to introduce
popery; an attempt so big with absurdity, that it did not meet with
the least encouragement from the pope himself. The capacity of
James was by 110 means equal to the subversion of those deep and
solid foundations which supported the civil and religious liberties
of his people. The share which he had in his father's sufferings
had not sufficiently taught him, thatjealollsy of the royal prerogatir:c
is a fundamental principle in the English constitution. He was so
violent and precipitate in his conduct, that he never failed to coun-
teract his own purposes. * Every step he took to advance his
power, helped greatly to L.estroy it; and he established the Pro-
testant religion on a firmer basis than ever, by his wild attempts to
introduce that of the church of Rome. Though he ascended the
throne with almost every advantage, he could never sit easy in it:
and having taught even the advocates of non-resistance to resist, he
was forced to relinquish a crown which he was absolutely unfit to
wear. He fled into France, where the palace of St. Germain was
assigned him; but the convent of La Trappe would have been a
much more suitable retr
at.t He died 6 Sept. 1701. His body
was deposited in the monastery of the Benedictines at Paris, his brain
in the church of St. Andrew, belonging to the Scotch College, in
that city, and his heart in the nunnery of Chaillot. It is well known
that he supplied father Orleans with materials to write his history.

This princess, who descended from the ancient house of Este,
was adopted daughter of Lewis XIV. who presented her with a
suit:lble portion upon her marriage with James, when duke of York.
The graces of her person and behaviour gained her all that popu-
larity which usually attends beauty on the most elevated station.
But her haughtiness, her bigotry, and her busy and intriguing
sf>irit, sunk her greatly in the popular esteem, after she became a
queen. 'Vhen she fled into France, she was kindly received by

The revenge of the Earl of Southesk on King James, when duke
of York, who is said to have caught a virulent distemper, which
that nobleman communicated with design to his lady, was supposed
to be the occasion of the death of several of the children that he
had by both his queens,: and gave credit to the report of the prince
being a supposititious child. In 1696, was published a pamphlet,
entitled, " A Brief Discovery of the true ;\lother of the pretended
Prince of '\tV ales, &c. by 'Villiam Fuller, gent. some time Page of
Honour to the late Queen, in France." The author tens us, tJlat
the pretended prince was son of one Mary Gray, an Irish woman,
who, in l\iay 1688, was brought over to England, in the Mon-
mouth yatch, by the Countess of TyrconneI. That she was deli-
vered of a child at St. James's, on the 10th of June following; and
about the middle of July was, against her indination, conveyed to
the convent of Benedictine nuns at Paris, whence she soon after
Inade her escape. That he was comlnanded by the queen to go to
England, with letters to Lord l\'lontgornery, and others, in relation
to this woman; and that they were " to take care to place people
on the coast of England, that might inform them when she landed;

and then they were positively commanded to use all endeavours to
get her dispatched, to prevent whatever design she might pretend
to." But being, as he informs us, soon apprehended in France,
and effectuaUy secured, he believed that she was murdered; as he
could not get the least intelligence of her, though he had made the
strictest inquiry. The well-known story of conveying the child to
the queen's apartment, in a warming-pan, is attributed to Fuller.
But it should be observed, that 1\1rs. Margaret Dawson, one of the
gentlewomen of the queen's hed-chalnber deposed, that" she saw
fire carried into the queen's room, in a warming
pan, to warm the
bed; after which the queen went into her bed; and that the depo-
nent stirred not from the queen, until her majesty was delivered of
a son."* Fuller, who was a great dealer in plots, and was de-
tected in several gross falsehoods, in some of his pretended disco-
veries, was declared an impostor by the House of Commons.

\Vas employed in the late reign, in several important en1bassies and
negotiations; in which he acquitted himself to the killg's satisfac-
tion. In 1679, he was appointed first commissioner of tbe trea-
sury, upon the resignation of the Earl of Essex. About the same
time, he, with 1\'11'. Sidney Goùolphin, was achnitted into the
privy council; and they both shared the confidence of the Earl of
Sunderland. This triumvirate had, for some time, the princip::d
ulanagement of the king's affairs. He appeared at the head of that
party, in the House of Commons, who opposed the exclusion of the
Duke of Yark. This occasioned an address from that house to the
king, to remove him from his presence and council for ever: hut he
was soon after created baron of ,V otton Basset, viscount IIyde,
and earl of Rochester. In the last year of Charles II. he was
made president of the council; and upon the accession of J aoH'S,
10rd high-treasurer of England. Though he was one of the eccle-
siastical commission, he refused to comply with the king's request
of changing his religion, which occasioneù the resignation of his
office of treasurer, in lieu of which he had a pension assigned him of
50001. a year. He had much of the elevated spirit of his father, but
was greatly inferior to him in capacit.y. King Vvilliam, who seems
never to have had any cordial affection for him, declared, that th('
year, in which he had the Inanagemcnt of his affi:Lirs, was the mO

George Savile, marquis of HaIlifax, who for his eminent abilities
was ennobled by Charles II.. was by that prince made a privy-
counsellor; and afterward, lord privy-seal.. He was offered the
püst of secretary of state, and that of lord-lieutenant of Ireland;
but these he declined in disgust; as Charles, towards the close of
his reign, refused to perform his promise of summoning a parlia-
ment. Upon the accession of James, he was appointed president
of the council; but as he could not be persuaded to give his con-
sent to the repeal of the tests, he was told by his majesty, that
" though he could never forget his past services, yet since he could
not comply in that point, he was resolved to have all of a piece ;"
and was therefore dismissed from l1is public employments.t In the
convention parJiament, he was chosen speaker of the House of Lords;
where, with his usual eloquence, he pleaded for the necessity of
supplying the vacant throne with the Prince and Princess of
Orange; upon whose accession, he was again made lord privy-
to pass unobserved. The author, speaking of Edward, earl (If Clarendon, say
,
CI I cannot omit this remarkable circumstance in favour of his innocency, that when
the tumultuous perplexed charge of accumulated treasons wa
preferred against him
by the commons, his son Laurence, then a member of that house, stept forth with
this brave defiance to his accusers, that if they could make out any proof of anyone
!lingle article, he would, as he was authorized, join in the condemnation of his
father. It appears that this challenge was not gÎ\'en in vain; and the general good
opinion of the world ever since has vindicated the innocency of the unpopular mi-
nister, and, ill a manner, reversed the effect of that arbitrar)" injurious sentence."
., Frequent mention is made of him, undcr the appellation of lO'l"d privy seal, in
Sir J uhn Rcresby's " :Memoirs."

seal. In 1689, he quitted that office, and distinguished himself by
his opposition to the fneasures of the government. He was a man
of unsettled principles, and of a lively imagination, which some-
times got the better of his judgment. He would never lose his jest,
though it spoiled his argument in the gravest debate; nor though
it brought his sincerity, or even his religion, in question. He was
deservedly celebrated for his parliamentary talents; and in the fa-
mous contest about the bill of exclusion, was thought to be a match
for his unc1e Shaftesbury. The pieces which he has left us, shew
him to have been an ingenious, if not a masterly, writer. His
" Advice to a Daughter" contains more good sense, in fewer words,
than is perhaps to be found in any of his contemporary authors.
He, at his death, professed himself a sincere Christian, and ex-
pressed the truest concern for his mispent life. Db. April, 1695.

than were consistent with that, or any other social principle. He
was not only an advocate for the dispensing power, but he sat in
the ecclesiastical commission; not with a view of introducing po-
pery, as he seems to have been at least indifferent to all religions,
but purely from a zeal of serving his sovereign. It must, however,
be acknowledged, that he was far fronl being inclined to join the
inquisitors of that arbitrary court in all their illegal proceedings.
Hence it was, that his pardon was with less difficulty procured at
the revolution, by the friendly mediation of Dr. Tillotson, tbe

The Earl of Argyle was a man of probity and virtue, who saw,
who felt, and deplored the miseries of his country; the liberties of
which were openly invaded, or secretly undermined, by Lauderdale
and the Duke of York. He was, during the rigorous administra-
tion of the Earl of lYIiddleton, condemned to die, only for a just
complaint of the injuries and injustice which had been done him, in
a letter to Lord Duffus, his friend." This worthy patriot, because
he would not blindly concur with all the measures of the duke, and
was scrupulous of taking contradictory oaths, was, after a most
illegal trial, condemned, by as unjust a sentence, for treason, leasing-
making, and leasing-telling. He found means to escape from prison,
and rose in arms against his capital enemy, soon after his accession
to the throne. This insurrection was concerted with the Duke of
Monmouth, who enteled upon hostilities in England about the same
time. The earl was presently taken, and carried prisoner to Glas-
gow, and afterward to Edinburgh, where he was beheaded in pur-
suance of his former sentence, 30th of June, 1685. After the re-
volution, this sentence was, in the Claims of Rights, declared to be
a reproach to the nation. See more of him in the" Biographia,"

John, first lord Belhaven. His Lordship resigning his honour
iuto the hands of King Charles the Second, they were, the 10th
of February, 1675, settled on him for life, to descend to John Ha-
milton, of Biel, husband of his grand-daughter, who accordingly
became second lord Belhaven, on the death of the first lord, in
1679.
I-lis lordship SOon distinguished himself by his OpposItIOn to'
ministers in the parliament of 1681. \Vhen the act for the test was
brought in, Lord Belhaven said, that he saw a very good act
for
ecurillg ou,. religion jj'om one another among the subjects the1JZsches,
hut he did '/lot see all. act for securing Ollr religion against a fJopish or
fanatical sliccessor to the crow/l.. For these words he was committed
prisoner to Edinburgh Castle, and the king's advocate declared,
that there was lnatter for an accusation of treason against bim;
but some days afterward his lordship was, on his submission,
restored to his seat in parliament.
Lord Belhaven attended the meeting of the Scottish nobility in
London, Jan. 1689, where he concurred in the address to the
Prince of Orange to assume the government, and to call a convention
of the estates. lIe was present at the convention, and contributed
much to the settling of the crown upon King \Villiam and Queen
Mary, who constituted him one of their privy council, and a com..
missioner for executing the office of lord-registrar. He com-
manded a troop of horse at the battle of Killycrankie, July 27th>
1689, and was one of the farmers of the poll-tax, in 1693.
, On the accession of Queen Anne, he was continued a privy...
counsellor; but when the Pretender, assisted by the French, at-
tempted to invade Scotland in 1708, he was taken up on suspicion
of favouring the invasion, and sent prisoner to London. Thus was
the kingdom insulted with the spectacle of its n10st distinguished
patriot, led in triumph through the English capital. His high
spirit burst at the disgrace; and he died of an inflammation of the
brain, June 21st, 1708, immediately on his release from prison,
in the 52d year of his age.

Richard Talbot, on King James the Second's accession to the
throne, was created earl of Tyrconnel, and placed as lieutenant-
general at the head of the Irish army, where his conduct was so
agreeable to his sovereign, that he made him viceroy of Ireland.
To this popish delegate of a popish prince, Henry, earl of Claren-
don, the eldest son of the chancellor, and then lord-lieutenant
of Ireland, resigned the sword of state, Feb. 11, 1686-7, amidst
a general and violent agitation of the kingdom. That nobleman
elubarked at the port of Dublin, in order to return to England,
attended by fifteen hundred Protestant families of that city; "who
abandoned a country where the peace, the property, and the lives
of Protestants, were exposed to the malice of the meanest and most
malignant of a party, now exulting in the fulness of their triumph,
with their friend and p:ltron in supreme authority, attended by
popish ministers and officers of state."
After the Prince of Orange's invasion, he at first refused all the
offers that were made by that prince to induce him to submit.
'Vhen King James landed in Ireland, in 1688, Tyrconnel appeared
at Cork to congratulate his master, and expressed his zeal by or-
dering a magistrate to execution, who had declared for the Prince
of Orange.-J ames instantly created him a duke. From the time
of the battle of the Boyne, he lost the little estimation which he
had enjoyed, having become as irresolute in his mind, as unwieldy
in his person. He died at Limerick during the siege of that town,
Aug. 5th, 1691. The vulgar Irish imputed his death to poison,
administered by those who detested his measures.
The Duke of Tyrconnel married Frances, daughter of Richard
Jennings, of Sundridge, in the county of Hertford, esq. widow of

The Duke of Somerset, who was one of the lorùs of the bed-

recovered from the bottom of the sea, where it had lain forty-four

The attempt of the Duke of Monmouth to raise himself to the
throne was no less absurd than that of James to change the re-
ligion of the three kingdoms. He landed, with a few of his fol-
lowers, in the West, where he was greatly beloved by the people,
6 July, who regarded him as the rightful heir to the crown.- He soon
1685. found himself at the head of a numerous body of ploughmen, gra-
ziers, and mechanics; who behaved, at the battle of Sedgeffiore,
much better than could have been expected from such a rabble of
undisciplined soldiers. This was in a great measure owing to the
intrepidity and conduct of the duke.t The defeat was occasioned
by Lord Grey retreating with the cavalry, which were thrown into
confusion by the noise of the cannon. The unhappy Monmouth
was found by some country fellows, two days after, concealed in a
field, under some straw, with a few pease in his pocket.! His head
was severed from his body at the fifth stroke, by a timid and un-
skilful executioner, \\' ho probably sympathized with the weeping

This nobleman, when he saw that other men of sense were at
their wit's end, in the arbitrary and tyrannical reign of James,
thought it prudent to assume the character of a madman, as the
first Brutus did in the reign of Tarquin. He danced, hunted, or
hawked, a good part of the day; went to bed before noon; and
constantly sat at table all night. He went to dinner at six or seven
of th
evening, and his meal lasted till six or seven the next morn-
ing; during which time he eat, drank, smoked, talked, or listened
to music. The compan y that dined with him were at liberty to rise
and amuse themselves, or take a nap, whenever they were so dis-
posed; but the dishes and bottles were all the while standing upon
the table. Such a man as this was thought a very unlikely person
to concern himself with politics or religion. By this conduct he
was neither embroiled in public affairs, nor gave the least umbrage
to the court. But he exerted himself so much in the revolution,
that he was for his eminent services created duke of Bolton. He
afterward raised a regiment of foot for the reduction of Ireland.

It is well known that Edward of Windsor, eldest son of Edward II.
was summoned by his father to parliament by the appellation of
Earl of Chester and Flint; and that this title has since belonged to
the Princes of 'Vales. I was once inclined to think that the title
of Earl of Flint might be a ridiculous sarcasm on Jefferies, occa-
sioned by his extreme hardness of heart, till a learned and curiou\)
gentleman in my neighbourhood communicated to file the dedica-

l,ord De1amer was son of the loya
Sir George Booth, who rose
in arm3 for Chatles II. a little ueiorc the restoration. He was a
man of a generous and noble nature, which disdained, upon any
terms, to submit to servitude; and whose passions seemed to
centre in the love of civil and re1igi0us liberty. He was accus21!
of " conspiring to raise a rebellion, and to subvert the government,
in conj unction with the Duke of l\lónmouth, and other traitors ;"
for which he was tried by his peers. The Lords Howard and Grey
appeared in court against him; but they said little or nothing to
the matter in question. The principal evidence was one Saxton,
an obscure fellow of an infamous character.. But the lords gave
no credit to this evidence, and the prisoner was unanimously
acquitted. The king was very desirous of his being tried before
another tribunal, where even the testimony of such a wretch as
Saxtcn would have been admitted. This nobleman had a principal
band in the revolution, t and was sent, togetller with the Marquis
of Hallifax and the Earl of Shrewsbury, to inform King James, that
the Prince of Ol.ange desired he would quit \VhitehalI. Another
would have delivered such a message with an air of triumph, or
insult; but he did it with a "generous decency." Several of his
" Speeches, his Advice to his Children," and other pieces, are
in print; of which see an account, in the "Catalogue of Royal
and Noble Authors." He was created earl of 'Yarrington, and
died in 1693.

John Graham, who was created viscount Dundee by King James,
was major-general of the Scottish army, and a privy-counsellor in
the reign of Charles II. He \ as then employed in reducing the
west of Scotland, and in forcing the dissenters to comply with the
constitution of the established church, by imposing heavy taxes
upon tqem, which was one of the methods of making proselytes in
that kingdom. But he was a man of too noble a nature to exe-
cute his orders in their full rigour. At the time of the Prince of
Orange's invasion, he was cOlnluanded to march with his regiment
into England. He advised the king to three things. One was, to
fight the prince; another, to go to him in person, and demand his
business; and the thirg, to make his way into Scotland. Jam es
l1ad once resolved to pursue the last advice; but that, in the fluc-
tuating state of his mind, was soon followed by another resolution.
Upon the king's departure, Dundee applied himself to the Prince
of Orange, to whom he spoke with all that frankness which was
'natural to him; but met with a very cool reception. He afterward
sat in the Scottish convention, from which he suddenly absented
himself, declaring that he had discovered a plot against his own
life. He soon after retired into the Highlands, with about forty
borse, which he had formerly commanded, and presently assembled
a ìlumerous army. He marched to Gillicranky,* where he engaged
a large body of forces commanded by General ::\lac
ay, but was
11lortally wounded in the engagenH nt. The High!
nders, animated
by their commander, gained a signal victory. Upon his asking how
things went, he was told that all was well: "then," said he, " I
am well," and presently expired. He was a man of an enterpris-
ing genius, and his conduct was equal to his courage. He had a
good deal of the spirit of his uncle, the famous James Graham

The Earl of Castlemain, in open violation of the law, was sent
on an extraordinary embassy to the pope, " to reconcile the king-
doms of England, Scotland, and I felauc1, to the hoJy see; frOlTI
which they had more than an agë fallen off by heresy." Innocent
who was a better politician than James, and well knew that he had
undertaken what he could not possibly perform, received his am-
bassador with great coldness. The generality of the cardinals
treated him with no less disregard, which occasioned his hastening
from Rome- as sOl)n as possible, to avoid the slights and mortifica-
tions which he daily received at that court.. Ob. 1705. See the
reign of CHARLES II. .
· II Castlemain, says Dr. Welwood, had several audiences of the pope, but to
little purpose; for whenever he began to talk of business, the pope was seasonably
attacked with a fit of coughing, ",hich broke off t!le ambassadors discourse for that
time, and obliged him to retire. These audiences and fits of coughing continued
from time to time, while Castlemain continued at Rome, and were the
ubject of
diversion to all but a particular faction at that court." - 'Y elwood's II :Memoirs,"

but seems to have had few or no amiable qualities. His piety did
not sit easy on him; and his reservedness made his learning appear
to be much less than it was in reality. He was slow, timid, and
irresolute; though he acted with firmness in refusing to read the
declaration for liberty of conscience, and to take the new oath.y
enjoined at the revolution. He was placed at the head of the
church, because he was like to do no great service to it. It was
reasonably supposed, that a man of so recluse and speculative a
turn, was very unlikely to disturb the court in their designs upon
the religious liberties of the people. His deprivation was probably
a matter of no great mortification to him; as he had raised an
estate in the see of Canterbury, which was more than sufficient for
one of his retired disposition. Such is the character of this pre-
late, as drawn by a contemporary writer, who would have consi-
derably softened the harshness of the features, if he had been more
like Sancroft, who had a generous and enlarged heart to objects of
bellel'ole1l.ce. He was highly respected, and great deference was
paid to his judgment by the prelates, his fellow-sufferers, in that
difficult and dangerous conjuncture for the church which preceded
the revolution: his conduct was indeed judicious and exemplary
upon that trying occasion." He gave 1000l. towards rebuilding
the deanery house of St. Panl's, and was very assiduous in
· procuring the coal act for rebuiìding the cathedral. He be-
queathed his valuable library, which he once intended to leave to
his successors in the archbishopric, to Emmanuel College, in Cam-
bridge, where he received his education, and of which he had been
Inaster. Some of these pieces will set his character, as a writer, in
a fair point of light. Such are, "Modern Policies;" but such
more particularly, his "Familiar Letters to

fore, but principally after his Deprivation, and his Retirement to

he had frequently seen him at his palace, burst into tears. As SOOIl as he reco-
vered the power of speech, he told him how deeply he was affected with .:what he
saw, and of his inability to suppress his grief. H Oh, my good Lord," replied the

to the clergy and gentry of his diocess, exhorted them to adhere to
King James: but, upon the approach of the Prince of Orange, he fled
with precipitation from Exeter to London, and was presently after
lllade archbishop of York. It was with great probability supposed,
that the see had been kept vacant for Father Petre,* the king's con-

Henry Compton, youngest son of

who was kiHed in the civil war, was educated at Queen's College,
in Oxford. Having stayed about three years at the university, he
made the usual tour of Europe. After the restoration, he became
a cornet in the royal regiment of guards, commanded by Aubrey de
Vere, earl of Oxford: but a milit.ary life not suiting his disposition,
he entered into holy orders, and was, in a few years, advanced to the
bishopric of Oxford, and afterward to that of London. I-Ie strongly
expected to be promoted to the see of Canterbury; and was greatly
disappointed when it was given to Dr. Sancroft, but more, when
Dr. Tillotson was preferred to it. His lcarning was superficial, but
his great diligence in discharging the duties of his function was
trulyexelnplary. He is said to have been " an humble, lfiodest,
generous, and good-natured man; but weak, wilful, much in the
power of others, and strangely wedùeù to a party."* He was em-

Dr. Nathaniel Crew, bishop of Durham, was considerable for his
birth,!II and more considerable for his preferments; but vaint and
ambitious, unsteady and insincere. He was of all the prelates tbe
most compliant with the king's measures, and was justly esteemed
the grand inquisitor of the ecdesiastical commission. He expressed
great satisfaction upon his admission into this court, that his name
would be recorded in history;t and so indeed it will to his dishonour,
even as long as his munificence to the university of Oxford is conl-
memorated. He was hospitable, generous, and charitable; but his
charity was sometimes observed to be too ostentatious. He offered
to resign his bishopric to Dr. Burnet, and trust to his generosity
for the paYlnent of 1000l. a year out of it: but he was of too scru-
pulous a conscience to accept it upon any such terms. Dr. Crew
was excepted by the act of indemnity; but found means by his
submission, by the mediation of Dr. Tillotson, and by parting with
some of the appendages of his bishopric, to procure his pardon.
He died 18 Sept.
1721, aged eighty-eight, having been upwards
of fifty years a bishop.

seemed to be as great a proficient in philology, history, philosophy,

being a conspirator in a plot of nonjurors for restoring King James,
for which some of tbat party were imprisoned; but he thought it
prudent to abscond. A proclamation was soon after issued for

Thomas Kenn, a man respected in the court of Charles II. for
his unaffected piety, was sometime chaplain to that prince, as he
had been before to the Princess of Orange.. The openness of his
countenance corresponded with the simplicity of his character.
His sermons and his other writings had a good effect, as they were
well known to be the genuine effusions of his heart. Almost all
· \Vbile he was chaplain in the Prince of Orange's cuurt, he obliged one of his
bighness's favourites to perform his contract, by marrying a young lady of the prin-
cess's train, whom he had seduced by means of that contract. This gave great
offcnce to the prince. But Charles II. was 1I0t offended at his reJigious intrepidity.
in peremptorily refusing to admit Nell GWJnn into his lodgings, \\hen the court
was at 'Vinchcster: on the contrary, he soon after made him a bishop. The
king's good sense told him, though the Prince of Orange's did not, that if a man is
,,'eullya Christian, his conduct ought to be uniformly consistent \\ith that character;
and that principles of conscience are of too stubburn a nature to Jield, evcn in
courts, to lUodes of complaisance.

his works have a tendency to promote practical re1i
ion. He lived,
after his deprivation, with Lord 'Veymouth, at Longleat; where lIe
spent the greatest part of his time in retirement, which he well
knew how to enjoy. When he was afflicted with the colic, to which
he was very subject, he frequently amused himself with writing
verses. Hence some of his pious poems are entitled" Anodynes,
or the Alleviation of Pain." There is a prosaic flatness in his
heroic poem called "Edmund ;" but some of his Hymns, and
other con1positions, have more of the spirit of poetry, and give us
an idea of that devotion which animated the author. Ob. 19 March,

Thomas Sprat, hishop of Rochester, was a Inan of wit, and a
polite scholar; and one of the most generally admired of our Eng-
]ish writers. It appears from his writings, as well as his conduct,
that his principles were far from being stubborn. He has repre-
'sented Cromwell as a finished hero,. and Charles I. as a glorified
saint. t He sat in the ecclesiastical commission, and was by no
means averse from the revolution. His" Account of the Rye House
Plot" is little better than a romance; but his "History of the
Royal Society," his Charge to his Clergy, his Sermons, and his
Account of Cowley, are excellent performances. His style in ge-
neral, which has been greatly applauded, has neither the classic
simplicity of Hobbes, nor the grace of Sir 'Villiam Temple. His
poetry is unequal, and sometimes inharmonious. He has, however,
been justly ranked with the best writers in the reign of Charles the
Second. See the article of SORBIERE in the Appendix to that
reign.

superior. The masterly dedication before Dr. Atterbury's Sermons,

Thomas Cartwright, who had been a forward and confident
preacher at the time of the Interregnum, and proceeded in exact
conformity with the powers then in being, struck in with the royal
party at the restoration, and was no less forward upon all occasions
to express his loyalty. He was made one of the king's chaplains;
was successively a prebendary of St. Paul's and of Durham, and
had a hard struggle with Dr . Womack, for the bishopric of St.
David's. In the reign of James, he enlisted himself on the side of
the prerogative, t and was made bishop of Chester for boldly
asserting in one of his sermons, that the king's promises to his
parliament were not binding. It is probable, that on such slavish
terms he might have been made archbishop of Canterbury, if that
prince had continued on the throne. He sat in the ecclesiastical
commission, and was one of the judges sent by the king to intimidate
· Bishop Mews.
t Dr. Welwood tells us,: that "Charles II. was tbe first king of England that
evcr aimed at any thing like a dispensing power." But it is certain that Sir
Edward Coke allowed that there is a dispensing power in the crown. Perhaps he
durst not have asserted the contrary in the reign of a prince so jealous of his prc.
rogative as James I. was. But, be that as it may, the constitution was visibly
changed on the side of liberty, since tbat period. See Hume's " History," under

JOHN TILLOTSON, dean of Canterbury,* who had distin-

to carryon the war against popery in the present. The greatest
divines that ever appeared in controversy were formed about this
period. Such were Tillotson, Stillingfleet, Patrick, Sherlock, and
Wake. These were more than sufficient for a whole army of
Jesuits; but the king thought that a well-appointed army of sal-
diers, and a vigorous exertion of his prerogative, was a surer and
a more expeditious method of opposing the enemies of his religion.
He, in a letter addressed to the archbishop of Canterbury, enjoined
the clergy to preach a good life, and never to meddle with con-
troversy in their sermons. At this time, popish books were pub-
licly sold, and much holy trumpery was imported from Italy.

Dr. Patrick, who was a consummate master of the popish con-
troversy, and had distinguished himself by his writings and his
discreet zeal against the church of Rome, was sent for by t1u:>
king, who did his utmost to mollify him, and prevail with him
to lay down his pen. But he told his majesty, with a resolu-
tion that never failed him when l1e thought his duty was con-
cerned, " that he could not give up a religion so well proved as
that of the Protestants." He and Dr. 'Villi am Jane had afterward
a conference in the king's presence with Giffard, a doctor of the
Sorbonne, and lVIr. Tilden, who went by the name of Dr. Godden.
The subject of this dispute was, " The rule of faith, and the proper
judge of controversy." The popish doctors were pursued through
all the intricacies of sophistry, and so closely pressed by their
antagonist8, that they were fait'Iy put to silence. The king left
theln very abruptly, and was heard to say, that "he never saw a
bad cause so well, nor a good one so ill maintained."

R. tVlzite sc. li. she
Gilbert Burnet, some time chaplain to Charles II. incurred the
resentment of the court, in the latter end of that prince's reign, by
the openness of his conduct in regard to popery. This resentment
was much increased by a sermon preached at the Rolls chapel,
5th Nov. 1684, on Psalm xxii. 21, U Save n1e from the lion's
lllouth; thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns." The
text was thought to be a bold allusion to the supporters of the
royal arms, though the conceit, as he tells us, was never intended.
The sermon was also thought to be in as bold a strain; and espe-
cially where he mentioned the famous wish of James I. against any
of his posterity that should endeavour to introduce the Roman
Catholic religion. Upon the accession of James II. he very pru-
dently left the kingdonl, and travelled over Italy, Switzerland, and
part of Germany. He returned to England with the Prince of

Sir George 'Vheler was descended from an ancient family,
who had been possessed of property in the counties of Kent and
Middlesex; his father, Co!. Charles 'Vheler, of the guards, suf-
fered for his loyalty to King Charles I. and Sir George was born
whilst his parents were, on that account, in exile at Breda, in Hol-
land. In 1667 he became a member of Lincoln College, in Oxford,
but before he had taken a degree, he went abroad with Dr. James
Spon, of Lyons, and, embarking at Venice, sailed to Constanti-
nople, and travelled through Lesser Asia and Greece. On his
return he received the honour of knighthood, and in 1683, the
degree of A. 1\1. from the university of Oxford; he published an
account of his travels, and of several antiquities in Greece and
Asia lVIinor, in 1682, and presenteù several pieces of antiquity
which he had collected to the university; his valuable casket of
Greek nledals he afterward gave by will to the Dean and Chapter
Library of Durham. About 1683, Sir George entered into holy
orders, c0ntrary to the wishes of several powerful friends, who
would willingly have supported his interest at court. In 1684,.

Prayer, according to Scripture and primitive Usage, as it is now practised by the-

tbat the prayers of the church were H better frequcnted than ever ;., and that the
dissenters went to their places of worship with II diligence and zeal." This account

he was collated by Bishop Crewe to the second staU in Durham
Cathedral; and in 1708, being then vicar of Basingstoke, in Hants,
was promoted by the same patron to the rectory of Houghton-Ie-
Spring. An unworthy person, of Sir George's own numerous
family, endeavoured to bring his venerable kinsman into disgrace
and danger for some unguarde<.l expressions of attachment to the
-unfortunate house of Stuart. But, whatever might be Sir George's
feelings of compassion for the banished descendants of a prince,
for whom his ancestors had fought and suffered, his sincere at-
tachment to the church of England preserved him steady in his
allegiance to that establishment, under which religious liberty had
found shelter from the attacks of arbitrary power, and "the in-
tegrity of his heart and the innocence of his hands" defied sus-
!)IClOn.
Sir George Wheler died at Durham, Jan. 18, 1723, and was
buried in the Galilee of Durham Cathedral, where a handsome
monument was erected to his memory by his only surviving son
Granville \Vheler.

Jeremiah \Vhite received a liberal education, and was brought
up at Trinity College, Cambridge, of which house he became fel-
Jow. In the troublesome times of the war, 1\lr. \Vhite's politics
led hiln to join the prevailing powers, and in time procured him to
be made preacher to the council of state, and domestic chaplain to
his highness, Oliver, lord-protector. He was a very sprightly and
facetious man, despised the cant and hypocrisy of the puritanical
party of his time, and was considered one of the chief wits of the
Protector's court.-Possessing all the advantages of youth, and a
fine person, he had the ambition to aspire to the hand of Crom-
well's youngest daughter, the Lady Frances. The young lady
appears by no means to have discouraged his addressts, but, in so
religious a court, this gaHantry could not be carried on without
being taken notice of. The Protector was informed of it; a
d,
having no inclination for such an alliance; was so much concerned,
104 BIOGRAPIIICAL IIISTOlt Y
that he ordered the person who told him to keep a strict look-out,
promising, if he could give him any substantial proofs, he should
be well rewarded, and vVhite severely punished. The spy followed
bis business so close, that in a little time he doggeù Jerry 'Vhite
(as he was generally called) to the lady's chamber, and ran im-
mediately to the Protector, to acquaint hinl that they were together.
Oliver, in a rage, hastened to the chamber, and going hastily in,
found Jerry on 11is knees, either kissing his daughter's hand, or
having just kissed it. Cronlwell, in a fury, asked what was the
meaning of that posture before his daughter Frances? 'Vhite,
with a great deal of-presence of nlÍnd, said, "May it please your
highness, I have a long time courted that young gentlewoman
there, my lady's woman, and cannot prevail; I was, therefore,
humbly praying her ladyship to intercede for me." Oliver, turning
to the young won1an, cried, "'\Vhat's the meaning of this, hussy?
\Vhy do you refuse the bonour Mr. \Vhite would do you? He is
1HY friend, and I expect you would treat hinl as such." My lady's
woman, who desired nothing better, with a very low courtesy, re..
plied, H If Mr.'Vhite intends me that honour, I shall not be against
him." U Sayest thou so my lass," cried Cromwell, " call Good-
wyn,-this business shall be done presently, before I go out of the
room."-:\lr. V'ihite had gone too far to recede from his prúposal ;
his brother parson came, and Jerry and my lady's woman were
D1arried in the presence of the Protector, who gave the bride
500l. to her portion, to the secret disappointment and indigna-
tion of the enraged dupe of his own making, but entire gra-
tification and satisfaction of the fair Abigail, the moment they were
made one flesh, who, by this unexpected good fortune, obtained a
11u:-band much above her most s::lnguine hope or expectation.
The restoration deprived White of all hope of preferment; if he
refused to take the oaths, and offered him but faint prospects if he
did; he, therefore, prudently cllose to remain quiescent, for he was
too pleasant a man to take up his abod
in a prison, for preaching
in a conventicle.-His wit and cheerfulness gained him many
friends, but he would have found himself more at home in the pa...
lace of Charles II. than in that of Oliver. He survived not only
the restoration and revolution, but the union, and died in 1707,
aged seventy-eight.

A SCOTCH DIVINE.
HENRY SCOUGAL, Theol. Prof. author of " The
Life of God in the Soul of Man." l?ronz the orig;inat
in the College Hall, AbeTdeen. Trotter sc. 8vo.
Henry Scougal was the son of Patrick Scouga!, bishop of Aber-
deen, 1664 to 1682, and has the merit of being the first Scottish
author, it is believed, who wrote a book of practical piety. Ec-
clesiastical disputes, so inconsistent with the Ineek spirit of Chris-
tianity, had first prevailed between the Catholics and reformers,
then between the Presbyterians and Independents. Sermons and
commentaries on Scripture were son1etimes interposed; but tlle
chief object, the practice of the Christian virtues, was unaccount..
ably neglectcd; Durham's curious work, on Scandal, being rather
a discussion of ecclesiastic discipline and polity, and a defence of
the Presbyterians against the independent Jacobins of the day,
than an ethical production.
Of Henry Scougallitt1e is known. It is said that, being of an
amorous complexion, he sometimes loved God, and sometimes
loved womcn; and that having unfortunately become enamoured
of a married lady at Aberdeen, he died in the struggles of virtue
and passion. But he had grown so corpulent in his retreat in the
steeple of the cathedral church of St. l\1achin's, at Old Aberdeen,
that his executors were forced to extract the boùy through a window.
These traditions seem rather inconsistent, as love is generally sup-
posed rather to belong to the class of consumptions, than of drop..
sics; and it is rare that the amorous swain pines away into ple-
nituùe.
Scougal's " l.ife of God in the Soul of :lUan" was published by
Bishop Burnet, in 1691, 8vo. anù has since passed through many
editions, being a work of eminent piety, without enthusiasm, and
written in a clear, neat style.

There is a print, by Claude du Bosc, of BONA VENTURE G IF...-
FARD, which was done in 1719, and in the 77th year of his age.
Though it properly belongs to the reign of George I. it may, as a
memorial of a person of merit, be placed in the reign of James, as
he, during that period, was consecrated bishop of Madaura, a city
of Africa,. and was appointed,. by royal mandate, president of Mag-
dalen College, in Oxford, and accordingly took possession of his
stall by proxy.t He was much esteemed by men of different reli-
gions, and especially by those who were most intimately acquainted
with his character. It is certain, that he died at Hammersmith, in
the reign of George the Second, aged about ninety. The dates of his
age assigned by Dod and others, at the time of his death, differ
considerably from the era on his print, which is very probably right.
See Noble's "Continuation."

Lord." "In all the witchcraft," saith he, "which now grievously vexes us, I
kno\\< not whether any thing be more unaccountable than the trick which the witches
have to rcnder themselves and their tools invisible."t "One of our bewitched
people was cruelly assaulted by a spectre that, she said, ran at her with a spindle,
though nobody else in the room could see either spectre or spindle. At last, in her
miseries, giving a snatch at tbe spectre, she pulled the spindle away, and it was no
sooner got into her hand, but the other people then present beheld that it wa
indeed a real, proper, iron spindle, belonging they knew to whom; which, when
tlll'Y locked up very safe, it was, nevertheless, by demons unaccountably stoic
away to do farther mischief." He mentions a similar instance of a woman who tore
from the back of a spectre a piece of an invisible sheet, which immedi
tely became
visible before a room full of spectators.9 The same author saith, H Nineteen witehe
have been executed at New England; one of them was a minister, and two mÌ--
l1iskrs more are accused. There are a hundred witches more in prison, which broke
prison, and about two hundred more are accused: some men of great estate iß

for witches, were committed by fifty of themselves, being witches; some of Boston,

Eùward Petre, a Inan of an easy and insinuating address, was at
the head of the Jesuits who frequented the court in this reign. He
was not destitute of parts; but his vanity and ambition, rather than
his bigotry, were much an overpoise for his judgment, and helped
greatly to precipitate the king-'s ruin, especiaUy after he was sworn
of the privy council. This step was absolutely against the consent
of the queen and the ITIOst judicious of the Catholics. James, in a
letter to the pope, made it his request, that his holiness would raise
him to the episcopal dignity, or bestow on him a cardinal's hat.-
He was at this time the king's confessor.
The Letters of Father Petre, l.a Chese (Chaise) and another Je-
suit, concerning the aftàirs of England, appear to be apocryphal.

SIR ROBERT SAWYER.
Sir Robert Sawyer, one of the ablest of his contemporaries in his
profession, formed himself after the Lord Chief. baron Hale: under
whom he practised, and of whom he was a just admirer. He, like
that excellent person, was a Inan of general learning, anù of an in-
tegrity that nothing could corrupt. His reputation in the Court of
Exchequer, the business of which he perfectly understood, was
superior to that of any other counsel. He was attorney-general
from the year 1681, to 1687; during which period, he approved
himself in some very delicate points, and upon many important
occasions, a most judicious and expert lawyer, and a no less useful
man. He was continued in his office by James, but was soon set
aside by that prince, who presentiy perceived that he could not be
prevailed with to mould the laws to such purposes as were never
intended by the legislature. He has been justly censured for his
harsh treatment of Lord Russel on his trial. .Pemberton, on the
contrary, treated hiln with a gentleness and candour that did him
much honour. He died at Highcleer, in Hampshire, 1692. His
only daughter married the Earl of Pelnbroke.. She died the 17th

JOHN SOMERS, esq.
It should be observed, that all the lawyers who pleaded as coun..
sel for the bishops, were men of uncommon eminence in their pro-
fession. Mr. Somers, in particular, displayed an eloquence on
that occasion, worthy of Athens or ROlne, when they produced
their m05t finished orators; and an honest zeal for liberty, no less
worthy of those republics, when they produced their nlost distin-
guished patriots. See the next reign. Noble, vol. i.
The judges, Powell and Holloway, opposed the dispensing
power, in the trial of the bishops, with a spirit worthy of the cause
in which they were concerned. They had the honour of being
dismissed from their employments, the next day after those vener-
able confessors were acquitted.

known to the world as a philosopher than a lawyer; and especially
in the latter part of his life, when he devoted the greatest part of
his time to experiments. He was much admired for his general
knowledge, and his ease and openness in the communication of it.
There was nothing at all promising in his appearance: he was

Andrew Fletcher, of Saltol1n, in East Lothian, was born in the
year 1650; and in his early youth, having the misfortune to lose his
father, was placed under the care of Dr. Gilbert Burnet, tben rector
of the parish of Saltoun, afterward bishop of Salisbury, frOlD whom
he received a IDost liberal and excellent education; after which he
was sent to travel on tbe continent. He was, from his infancy, of
a fiery and uncontrollable temper; but his disposition was noble and
generous. He becan1e first known as a public speaker, and a man
of political energy, from being one of the commissioners in the
Scotch Parliament, when the Duke of York was lord high-commis-
sioner; connecting himself with the Earl of Argyle in opposition
to the Duke of Lauderdale's administration, and the arbitrary de-
signs of the court; which obliged him to retire, first into England,
and afterward into Holland; on which he was summoned to appear
before the lords of the council at Edinburgh; which not thinking
it prudent to do, he was outlawed, and his estate confiscated.
He afterward joined the Duke of Monmouth in his ill-judged
expedition; but having the misfortune to kill a man, whose horse
he had taken for his own use, was compelled to quit the army, in
order to stop compJaints of the duke's English followers against
him: this circumstance, however, was the means of preserving his
life; as, had he continued in England but a few days longer, he
must inevitably have shared the fate of the unfortunate duke, and
t11at of many of his deluded followers.
After passing through a variety of adventures, Fletcher returned
to England with the Prince of Orange, afterward 'Vil1iam III. and .
filled a number of important situations in Scotland under the reign
of that monarch, and his successor Queen Anne. Db. in the

John Benbow, wIlo was born at Shrewsbury, became, at t1Ie age

tacked by a Salee rover, he defended himself bravely, though very
inferior in number; at last the Moors having boarded him, were
beat out of the vessel with the loss of thirteen men.*' On his re-
turn, James II. gave him the command of a ship in the royal navy.
After the revolution, he rose to the first rank in his profession by
pure Inerit, and had the command of the West India squadron,
when he fell in with the French fleet commanded by M. de Casse.
Several of his officers had taken some disgust, and permitted him
ahnost alone to sustain the whole fire of the enemy. For four
days did this intrepid seaman, assisted only by one sl
ip, pursue
and engage the fleet, while his cowardly officers behind remained
spectators of his activity and bravery. In the engagement his leg
was shattered by a cannon ball, and he soon after died of his
wounds. Two of his officers, Kirby and Wade, were tried by a
court-lnartial, and shot.

of Oxford, it appears that he was master of the Requests to
Charles II. He possessed, in an extraordinary degree) the various
accomplishments of a gentleman; and particularly excelled in the
knowledge of modern languages. During the exile of his royal
master, he translated from the French " Cassandra, the famed
Romance," which has been several times printed. * He had a
principal hand in translating D"Avila's " History of the Civil \Vars
of France," from the Italian, and several pieces of less note from
the Spanish. In 1686, he resigned his place of master of the cere-

SIR JOHN COVENTRY; frol1z tIle collection at
Longleat, in Adolphus's British Cabinet. Harding sc.
4to.
John Coventry was grandson of Thonlas, first earl of Coventry,
and nephew to Henry and Sir 'Villiam Coventry. He was son of
the Honourable John Coventry, by Elizabeth, daughter of John
Cones, esq. of Barton, in Somersetshire, and widow of Herbert
Doddington.
John Coventry was made knight of the Bath at the coronation
of King Charles II. was a member in the Long Parliament, and in
all the other parliaments in the reign of Charles II. for Weymouth.
He was distinguished for wit, anù being often in opposition, a
violent and cruel attempt was made on his person, on the 21st of
December, 1670. Bishop Burnet gives the following account of
the transaction:
" Sir John Coventry was one of those members who violently
opposed the giving nloney; and it being then usual, after such bills
had failed in the main vote, to lay the money on funds unaccept-
able and deficient, it was proposed to lay a tax on p1ayhouses,
which were then deemed nests of prostitution. This was opposed
by the court; it was said, , The players were the king's servants,
and a part of his pleasure.' Upon which Sir John asked, 'Whether
· The immediate predecessor of Sir Charles Cotterel was Sir John finet.
12-1 B lOG RAP II I C .1.\ L II 1ST 0 R Y
did the king's pleasure lie amongst the men or women that acted ?'.
This was carried with great indignation to the court. It was said,
, This was the first time that the king was personally reflected on:
if it was passed over, n10re of the same kind would follow; and it
would grow a fashion to talk so. It wag therefore fit to take such
severe notice of this, that nobody should dare to talk at that rate
for the future.' The Duke of York told Bishop Burnet, 'He said
all he could to the king to divert him from the resolution he took;
whicQ was to send some of the guards, and watch in the streets
where Sir John lodged, and leave a nlark upon him.' The fact,
by bills of indictment, was found to be committed by Sir Thomas
Sandys, knight, Charles O'Bryan, esq. Sir Simon Parry, and Miles
Reeves, who were fled from justice, not daring to abide a legal
trial.-As Coventry was going home, they drew about him; lie
stood up to the wall, and snatched the flambeau out of his ser-
vant's hands; and with that in one hand, and his sword in the
other, he defended himself so well that he got credit by it. He
wounded some of them, but was soon disarmed, and then they cut
his nose to the bone, to teach him (as they saiù) to remember what
respect he owed to the king; and so they left him, and went back
to the Duke of Monmouth's, where O'Bryan's wound was dressed.
The matter was executed by orders from the Duke of Monmouth;
for which he was severely censured, because he lived then in pro-
fessions of friendship with Coventry; so that his subjection to the
king was not thought an excuse for directing so vile an attempt on
his friend, without sending him secret notice of what was designed.
Coventry had his nose so well needled up, that the scar was scarce
to be discerned. This put the House of Commons in a furious
uproar: they passed a bill of banishment against the actors of it;
and put a clause in it, that it should not be in the king's power to
pardon them; and that it should be death to mailn any person.
This gave great advantages to an those that opposed the court;
and was often remembered, and much improved by all the angry
men of those times." The act thus obtained is still called " The
Coventry Act."
Sir John Coventry died unmarried, and endowed an hospital at
'Viveliscomb, in the county of Sonlerset, for twelve poor people.

The Honourable Henry Coventry was third son of Thomas, first
earl of Coventry, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter to John
Aldersey, of Spurstow, in the county of Chester, esq. and widow
of \Villiam Pitchford, esq. He was educated at All Souls College,
Oxford, where he received the degrees of bachelor of laws and
master of arts. On account of his loyalty he was a great sufferer
in the rebeUion, and soon after the restoration of Charles II. was
made a groom of the bed-chamber.
The king entertained the highest sense of Coventry's integrity,
who possessed his entire friendship; he therefore sent him envoy
extraordinary to Sweden, on the 4th of September, 1664. He met
with a very honourable reception; the Swedes testified a sincere
affection for the king, and the utmost willingness to unite in any
thing which would not be destructive to themselves. Coventry re-
mained in Sweden two years, and returned the 21st of June, 1666.
In the year following it was judged expedient to send ambas-
sadors to Breda, for the purpose of treating for peace. 1\lr. Co-
ventry had given so much satisfaction in his former ell1bassy, that
the chancellor proposed hiIn as one of the propcrest persons to
act in the treaty, and he was appointed with Denzil, lord Hollis,
ambassador extraordinary. They were fitted out in a style worthy
of the station they were to fill, and of the master for whom they
acted. At Breda they concluded a peace with France, Denmark,
and the States GeneraL
In the year 1671, Mr. Coventry went again ambassador to Sweden,
and returning tbe following year, was constituted secretary of
state, and privy-counseHor. This office he filJed with the strictest
fidelity and honour upwards of six years; but his health no longer
permitting him to undergo the fatigue, he requested leave to
retire.
I-lis resignation was announced by the following public notice
in the Gazette: "vVhitehaH, February 11, 1679. His majesty
was this afternoon pleased to declare in council, that Mr. Secre-
tary Coventry has long solicited him, on account of his infirmity of
body, for his leave to resign his place as one of his principal secre...
taries of state; that his majesty has at last been prevailed upon to
grant it, though with some unwillingness, because of the great
satisfactio
l his majesty has always had in his services; and that
his intention was he should ever continue in his privy council."

'Villiam Coventry was the younger brother of Henry Coventry.
At - the age of sixteen he was a gentleman commoner of Queen.s
College, Oxford. He went to the university in 1642, and, after
continuing some time, commenced his travels.
On his return he was appointed secretary to the Duke of York,
and also to the Admiralty, and elected member of parlian:ent for
Yarmouth in 1661 : he was also returned for the same town to the
parliament summoned in 1678. In 1663, he was created a doctor
of laws at the university of Oxford. I-Ie was sworn of the privy
council, and had the honour of knighthood conferred on him,
June 26, 1665. In 1667, he was made one of the comnlissioners
of the Treasury.
Bishop Burnet observes, that he was " a Inan of great notions
and eminent virtues; the best speaker in the House of Commons,
and capable of bearing the chief ministry, as it was once thought
be was very near it, and deserved it more than all the rest did."
He engaged in a personal dispute with the Duke of Buckingham,
which, terminating in a challenge, he was forbid the court, and he
retired to Minster Lovel, in Oxfordshire. There he lived privately,
devoting himself to religion; and though considerable offices were
afterward tendered to him, he constantly declined accepting them.
He died unmarried, at Sornerhill, near Tunbridge 'VeIls, where he
went for the benefit of the waters, the 23d of June, 1686, aged 60
years, and was buried at Penshurst, in Kent, where a nlonument is

By his will he left 20001. for the relief of the French Protestants,

Mr. Charles Cæsarwas born at Tottel1ham, in Middlesex, Feb. 7,
J 635-6, and was an infant under six years of age at the time of
the death of his father, the unfortunate circumstances attending
which, not allowing time for deliberate arrangements, left him to
the guardianship of the law, and the affection of a most kind mo-
ther. He was entered on the 3d of September, 1651, a fellow
commoner of Jesus CoHege in the university of Cambridge, and
remained there upwards of five years. When he came of age he
took possession of his estate of Great Gransden, in Huntingdoll-
shire, which had been given to him by his father's hasty will; but,
preferring a residence in his native county, disposed of the savings
of his Ininority, March 17, 1659-60, in the purchase of lands at
l\luch Hadham, in Herts, on which, not long before, had been
rected a fair seat. by -- Tompson, esq. For this property Mr.
Cæsar paid 17001. He kept it not long, for, his mother dying in
the house within two years after, he conceived a distaste to it, and-
sold it to \Villiam Allen, esq. a neighbouring gentleman; and
retired to Great Gransden, wisely preferring the calm respect-
ability of the life of an honourable country gentleman to the
uncertainty of public splendour, and the inevitable solicitudes
which attend it. He remainpd there for thirty years, improving his
estate by neighbouring purchases, and in 1692 relinquished his
principal seat, with its demesne, to his eldest son, and removed to
the town of Stamford, in Lincolnshire, where he died in August,
1707, leaving three children, Charles, Henry, and Dorothy.

was born in 1633. In the reigns of Charles II. James II. 'Villi am
and l\lary, he was very conspicuous in aU political transactions,
and particularly in the House of Commons. He constantly served
in parliament for the city of Exeter, except once for Hindon, and
once for Totness.
In 1667, he distinguished himself in the impeachment of the Lord-
chancellor Hyde, earl of Clarendon. In the House of Commons
he made a long and severe speech against him, recapitulating all
the supposed crimes and errors of his administration, and urged the
l)ropriety of arraigning hÍ1n for high-trea
on; and he attended, in a
128 BIOGRAPIIICAL IIISTORY
few days after, at the bar of the House of Lords with the accusation
of the lower house, and there requested the lord-chancellor might
be sequestered fronl that house, and his person secured.
On the resignation of Sir Job Charlton, Feb. 15th, 1672-3, he
was unanimously chosen speaker of the House of Commons, and
on the 9th of April following, made treasurer of the navy. On the
6th of l\iarch, 1678, he was again chosen speaker, but the king
having occasion for his services, in a manner which he considered
incompatible with that appointment, refused to confirm the election.
The commons made three representations in Seymour's favour, but
at length having been prorogued, and fearing dissolution, they
elected Serjeant Gregory.
Seymour gave so much offence to the house by his attacbment to
the constitution, and his opposition to their extravagant views, that
on the 20th of Nov. 1680, they voted his impeachment, and a
motion was n1ade for addressing the king to dismiss him from his
presence and councils for ever; but the motion was abandoned,
and no articles of impeachment exhibited. He opposed the bill of
exclusion, and was a great promoter of the Habeas Corpus Act.
After the accession of James II. Seymour was a strenuous opposer
of the Duke of l\tJonrnouth and his rebellious adherents in 1685.
Afterward, considering the church of England in danger fronl the
united efforts of the Catholics and Presbyterians, he joined in invit-
ing the Prince of Orange, though he expected that he would only
interpose as a generous mediator, and not attempt to seize the
throne or change the succession. When 'Villiam landed in 1688,
such was the terror of the people, and their tardiness in joining
him, that he would probably have been compelled to return, but
Seymour waited on him at Exeter, and proposed forming an asso-
ciation to adhere to him till the religion, laws, and liberties of
the kingdom, were secured by a free parliament. This candid
declaration soon procured the Prince of Orange a great number of
adherents.
Seymour disliking the subsequent proceedings, particuJarly the
dethroning of King James, and disinheriting his son, opposed
those measures and resisted the bin for forming the convention into
a parliament. His efforts being over. ruled, he submitted and took
the oaths of government. He continued hi
parliamentary exer-
tions till the period of his death, which happened Feb. 17, 1707 -8,
at Maiden Bradley, where he was interred, and a beautiful monu-
ßlent erected to his nlemory.

peaceably pursued the business of his profession; and was, to his
great astonishment, accused of conspiring against Charles II. to-
gether with Lord Russel, of whose party he undoubtedly was. He
llad scarce time to recover from his surprise, before he was brought
to his trial, where he convinced every unprejudiced person of bis
innocence. The prosecution was carried on with such precipita-
tion, that he was tried, condemned, and executed within a week.
He behaved to his death with a decent fortitude, and persisted in
denying the crime of which he stood convicted. The perjury of
Goodenough and Rumsey, the witnesses against him, appeared so
':flagrant after his death, t.hat, in 1688, they were committed to pri-
son by order of parliament,. and his estate was restored to his

- I am informed that the print is very like him.
Benjamin Hewling, son of an eminent Turkey merchant in
London, was a man of a good education, graceful person, untainted
morals, and unaffected piety; and therefore of great popularity
among his political brethren, the staunch 'Vhigs in the city. He
bad the command of a troop of horse in the Duke of Monmouth's
army, and behaved in several skirmishes with more courage and
èonduct than is usually seen in raw soldiers. He was sent with a
detachment of his own troop, and two more, to fetch cannon from
Minehead, in Somersetshire, a little before the battle of Sedgemore.
As the best of Monmouth's men were in this detachment, the loss
of the battle was supposed to be owing to their absence. He was
executed for rebellion at Taunton, the 30th of Sept. 1685, in the
twenty-second year of his age. He declared, a little before his
execution, that he was not ashamed of the cause in which he was
to suffer, and died with all the alacrity of a martyr. His brother
'Villiam, a man of a similar character, was executed about the same
time.

tbe business of tbe Rye-house plot. .

Samuel Pepys, secretary to the aòmiralty in this and the former
reign, was descended from the ancient family of that name, seated
at Impington, near Cottellham, in Cambridgeshire. He was, in the
early part of his life, introduced into the service of the state by
bis kinsman the famons Earl of Sandwich. It is well known that
the naval history of Charles II. is the most shining part of the
annals of his reign; and that the business of the navy was con-
ducted with the utmost regularity and prudence
under Chal"les
and James, by this worthy and judicious person. He first reduced
the affairs of the admiralty to order anrl method; and that method
was so just, as to have been a standing model to his successûrs in
l1Îs important office. I-lis" l\1emoirs," relating to the navy, is a wen
written piece; and his copious collection of manuscripts, now re-
maining, with the rest of his library, at l\Iagdalen College, in Cmn-
bri(lge, is an invaluable treasure of naval knowledge. I-Ie was far
from being a mere man of business; his conversation and addrEss
had been greatly refined by travel. He thoroughly understood and
practised n1usic; was a judge of painting, sculpture, and architec-
ture; and had more than a superficial knowledge in history and
philosophy. His fame among the virtuosi was such, that he was
thought a very proper person to be placed at the head of the Royal
Society, of which he was some time presiòent. t His prints have
been already mentioned. His collection of English ballads, in five
large folio volumes, begnn by 1\1r. Selden, and carried down to the

James Bonnel was accompta1lt general f!f the l'e'Cenue in Ireland, in
the reign of Charles II. James II. and William III. I-Ie was a man of
uncommon knowledge, of amiable manners, and a just pattern of
private and public virtue. He was charitable without ostentation,
religious without bigotry; and' so acquitted himself in the several
duties and relations of life, as not only to avoid evil, but even the
appearance of it; not only to escape censure, but to gain and
deserve praise and honour. Such a character may perhaps be
overlooked by some, because there is nothing remarkably striking in
it. But the man who is uniformly good, and that to such a degree
as Mr. Bonnel was, ought to stand high in our opinion, and to be
esteemed what he certainly was, a great mall. Ob. 28 April, 1699.

fortune; and, being at the siege of lVlaestricht, under the command

for his way of living. 'Vhile he was at Utrecht, in Holland, he
was charged with committing a rape on a young woman, and like-
wise of a similar offence near Chester, while in England.

After this he went to Ireland, where he thought to better his cir-
cumstances by marriage; and getting acquainted with a gentleman
named l\1agrath, in the county of Clare, he, by the Olanner of his
conversation, so gained his good opinion, that he frequently invited
him to dinner. This gentleman having a daughter who had 10,0001.
to her portion, Sir John took every opportunity to insinuate himself
into her company, and so far gained upon her affections as to
obtain her consent to elope with him; but the father having some
hints given him of their private courtship, kept a very watchful
eye over their actions, and at last being confirmed in his suspi-
cions, forbade Sir John his hou
e, and kept his daughter close. She
being very uneasy under her confincment, and being deprived of
the sight of Sir John, whom she loved to distraction, made a kins-
woman her confidant, and intrusted her with a letter to Sir J oho,
to let him know how uneasy her life was; Rnd that if he would
come to such a place, at such a time, she would endeavour to
lllake her escape, anu meet him; but the lady, thinking she should
gain most by obliging her uncle, delivered the letter to him, instead
of Sir John: Mr. Magrath having read it, sealed it lip again, and
sent it to Sir John, who received it with a great deal of satisfac-
tion, and immediately wrote an answer, and sent it back by the
same messenger. But on repairing to the place of rendezvous, in-
stead of meetiug the lady, he fell into an ambuscade of fellows with
sticks and clubs, who beat him so unmercifully that he promised to
relinquish his pursuit.-Leaving those parts, he repaired to Dublin,
where, having before contracted some debts, he was arrested and
thrown into prison; he however effected a composition with his
credi tors, obtainC'd a discharge from his debts, and returned
shortly after to England.
Having been here some small time, and spent the remainder of
hi::; money, he was obliged to be beholden to some of his country-
men for support: when Captain James Campbe1J, brother to the
Earl of Argyle, having a design to steal an heiress, Miss Mary

substance, that Miss l\lary Wharton, being an heiress of consider-

decoyed out on the 10th of November, and being met by Sir John
Johnston, Captain Campbell, and lVIr. lVlontgomery, in Queen-
street, was fprced into a coach with six horses (appointed to wait
there by Captain Campbell), and carried to the coachman's house,
and there n1arried to Captain Campbell, against the consent of her-
self, or knowledge of her guardian. The jury finding the prisoner
guilty, he received sentence of death.
At the place of execution, he addressed the spectators in a long
speech, in which he not only endeavoured to make it appear he
was blameless in the transaction for which he suffered, but that he
had been greatly wronged by printed papers, in which he was
charged with a rape at Chester, and a similar crime at Utrecht, in
Holland. He was executed at Tyburn the 23d of December,

Previous to this unpleasant affair, an act for preventing clandestine marriages
had been introduced into the House of Commons, which met with considerable op-
position; and, although Campbell's violence was a strong argument in favour of the
measure, the house rejected it, but annulled his marriage, much against the wish of
the Earl of Argyle, who earnestly petitioned that it might be confirmed.

Dr. Franci3 Bernard, who was physician to King James, was a
man of learning, and well versed in literary history. He had the
best private collection of scarce and curious books that had been
seen in England, and was a good judge of their value. He died
on the 9th of February, 1697, in the 70th year of his age. The
catalogue of his books, which were sold by auction, is dated 1698.
The amount of this auction, clear of all expenses of sale,. was up-
wards of ] 600l. a la:ge sum at that time, when the passion for
rare books was Inuch more moderate than it is at present. If all
Dr. Mead's books were now to be resold, they would fetch an in...

Anne, daughter of King James, had also a curious library, which
was sold by a 1 1ction, in 1711. The" Spaccio della Bestia triom-

JOHANNES CASE, M. D. in a seJt'anglllar fraJJze.
John Case, a native of Lime Regis, in Dorsetshire, was many
years a noted practitioner in physic and astrology. He was looked
upon as the successor of the famous Lilly, whose magical utensils
he possessed. These he would sometimes expose in derision to his
intimate friends; and particularly" the dark chamber and pictures,
whereby Lilly used to impose upon people, under the pretence of
shewing them persons who were absent.'.. The doctor is said to
have got more by this distich than Dryden did by all his works:
U 'Vithin this place
Li ves Doctor Case."
He was doubtless very well paid for composing that which he
affixed to his pill-boxes:
" Here's fourteen pills for thirteen pence,
Enough in any man's own con-sci-ence."
I think he was living in the reign of Anne. He was author of
" The Angelical Guide, shewing lYlen and Women their Lot and
Chance in this elementary Life," in four books, 1697, 8vo.t

for all changes of the times, turned Roman Catholic upon the ac-

radise is in l\iesopotamia, wllCre the pole is elevated 34 deg. 30 min. and the SUIl
riseth four hours sooner than under the elevation of the pole at London. Now, our
curious reader may be inquisitive concerning this matter. If you will not credit
these reasons laid down, pray read Josephus; there you will see something of this
matter, viz. of the first primum mobile, or morillg posture of the world, and place of
Paradise, and elevation of its pole. l\Iany controversies have been about the time
and season of the year, therefore I shall not trouble my reader any farther with
them. Let the Scripture be our guide in this matter: Let there be (saith the word),
and there was; and also the fifth day's work of the creation, when the grasshoppers
were, and the trees sprang out; this may give us to understand that the time of the
creation must have its beginning in the spring. Now for the place or centre of the
earth, from whence we may observe the poles as aforementioned in Mesopotamia,
where God placed AdalU: so the spring is two months sooner there than here with
us, under the elevation of the pole at London.".
This passage is unconnected with any thing else, except we suppose some ab-
struse meaning in the hieroglyphic, that it must be presumed to be self.evident, or
else the author must have acted like James l\Ioore,t as it is intimated in the fol-
lowing dialogue between that author and hig reader:

R. Hut there's no meaning to be seen.

It is certain that his book suited some men of an heteroclite genius, who fancied
that they discovered strange mysteries in many parts of it. The following authentic
anecdute of Case was communicated to me by tbe Rev. 1\1r. Gosling, in these
terms:
" Dr. l\Iaundy, formerly of Canterbury, told me. that, in his travels abroad, some
eminent physician, who had been in England, gave him a token to speru.l at his
return with Dr. Radcliffe and Dr. Case. They fixed on an evening, and were very
merry. when Dr. Radcliffe thus began a health: 'Here, brother Case, to all the

life, possessed with the spirit of poetry, as he, in 1685, published in
8vo. a collection of his juvenile compositions, entitled " Maggots,
or Poems on several Subjects never before handled." lIe after-
ward entered into holy orùers, and was rector of South Ornlesby,.
in Lincolnshire, when he published " The Life of our Blessed
Saviour Jesus Christ," an heroic poem, 1693, fo1. with various cuts"
said to have been engraved by Faithorne. He, in 1695, published
Elegies on the death of Queen l\lary and Archbishop Tillotson. *
It is to be regretted that his vein of poetry was not exhausted
when he published his" IVlaggots,," as he incurred the censure of
Garth in his" Dispensary," who severely lashes him in these lines:
" Had \Vesley never aim'd in verse to please,.
\Ve had not rank'd him with our Ogilbys.
8tiII censures will on duIl pretenders fall :
A Codrus should expect a J uvena)."
He, however, Inade ample an1ends for his bad poetry, by his góod
life, and his Dissertations upon the Book of Job in Latin, which
were published after his decease. He was father of John ,V esley,
wen known to the world by his preaching and writings.

Sept. 5th, 1660, by virtue of the king's mandatory letters. On the
1st of December the same year, be was, in pursuance of King
Charles's mandate, elected master of bis coHege, upon the r
signa-
tion of Dr. Bachcro(t. About the "year 1670, he was appointed
keeper of tlle record
in the Tower of London; in which office, how
well he employed himself in perusing those valuable documents in
his possession, is obvious from his historical works. Some time
after he was chosen regius professor of physic in the university of
Canlbridge. In 1679, he wrote a letter to Dr. Sydenham, which is
published among that learned person's works. But his largest and
most considerable performance was, "An Introduction to the old.
English History," and "A Complete History of England, from the
first entrance of the Romans, unto the end of the reign of King
Richard II." in three vols. folio; about whic,h he was employed
several years. It is asserted by Dr. Gilbert Stuart, that this work
formed the basis of Hume's "History." Dr. Brady also wrote a
treatise on Burghs, in thin folio. In the year 1681, he was chosen
one of the representatives for the university of Cambridge, in that
parliament which met at Oxford; and again, in 1685, in the parHa..
ment of King James II. He was likewise physician in ordinary to
that king; and, on the 22d of October, 1688, was one of those who
gave in their depositions concerning the birth of the pretended
prince of 'Vales.
He died on the 19th of August, ] 700.... He was an accurate
writer, and a curious and diligent searcher into our ancient records.

PHILOSOPHERS.
ISAAC NE\VTON, whom that innate modesty which usually
attends on true genius had restrained from displaying his mighty
talents, broke forth from his obscurity in the reign of James II.
Then it was that he published his "Principia," a work that occa-
sioned the greatest revolution that ever was made in the world of
science. This performance is an illustrious proof of the power of
the human mind; it being the highest instance that can, or probably
ever will be given of the exertion of it. His portrait belongs to the
reign of Anne.
There is a print of him engTaved by Bickham, which may be
p1aced as a memorial in this reign: it is a head radiated like the 8un
in the midst of a planetary system. The following lines of Lucre-
tius may without pedantr.y be affixed to it; they are much better
suited to this character than to that of Epicurus.
" Qui genus humanum ingenio superavit, et omnes
Perstrinxit stelJas, exortus ut ætherius sol."
JOHN LOCKE, who was in metaphysiès what Newton was ill
the higher mathematics, finished his" Essay on the Human Un-
derstanding" in the reign of James II. Newton led mankind to the
knowledge of the material world with which they were surrounded;
Locke to the knowledge of the ideal world within themselves.. I-lis

This mtist painted a window at University College, in Oxford, in

was commonly practised ín England before the reformation; and it
appears from a series of dates taken by Mr. Walpole from windows
now in being, that it has been also practised in every age since that
period. Peter Oliver painted on glass in the reign of Charles II.
and the two following reigns; John Langton,t in the reign of Anne;
Price and Rowell,t were practitioners of late years; and the art is

Place." This, he says, he bought, with other curiosities, of .1\1r. Gyles's executors.
Among Dr. Lister's papers, in Ashmole's Museum, is a letter written by G)'lcs, in
which he complains with great sensibility uf having been defrauded by some of the
Englisb nobility. He \"LiS once inclined to leave his country, which, as be says

t John Langton was an ingenious writing-master at Stamford, in Lincolnshire.
In 17:13, he presented a most curious piece of writing, in the ancient and modem
hands, to Queen Anne. There is a fine copy of this at l3urghley-house. It is said
in a manuscript note belonging to tbis piece, that he '1'et'rieved the mot 0/' glass-painting.
t John Rowell, who was by profession a plumber, practised glass-painting at
High 'V ycomb, in the county of Bucks, and afterward at Reading, in Berkshire.
He was employed by the late Duke of Richmond at Goodwood, and executed many
pieces for Dr. l\Iaddox, late bishop of \Vorcester; particularly a history of Christ
pra)'ing in the garden, after a design of Dr. John \Vall, of W orcester.
He painted
a set of windows for Dr. Scawen Kenrick, in the church of Hambledon, in Bucking-
bamshire. He did the nativity of Christ, and the Roman charity, in two large
windows: the former \
as purchased of his widow by 1\lr. Chute, of the Vine, in
lbmpshire; the latter by the late Lord Yiscount Fanc. The colours, in some of
]Iis paintings, stand very well; in others they have been observed greatly to fail.
He di
covcred the beautiful red \\ hich is so conspicuous in our old windows.; but
this secret is supposed to have died with him, in the year 1756.

Vr. Cucht sc. 8vo.
Thomas Betterton was born in Tothill-street, Westminster, iIi
1635, and, after having left school, is said to have been put ap-
prentice to a bookseller. The particulars of his early life, however,
are not ascertained, but it is generally thought that he made his
first appearance on the stage in 1656, at the opera-house in Char-
ter-house-yard, under the direction of Sir \Vil1iam Davenant, and
continued to perform here till the restoration, when King Charles
granted patents to two companies, the one called the king's com-
pany, and the other the duké's. The former acted at the theatre
royal, in Drury-lane; and the latter at the theatre in Lìncoln's-Inn-
fields. Betterton went over to Paris, ät the command of King
Charles II. to take a view of the French scenery, and at his return
made such improvements as added greatly to the ]ustre of the
English stage.
For several years both cbn1panies acted with thè greatest
applause, and the taste for dramat.ic entertainments was never
stronger thai1 whilst these two companies played. The two com-
panies were, howevcr, at length united, though thè time of this union
is not precisely known; Gildon placing it in 1682, and Cibber iri
1684, and then it was that Betterton first shone forth with the
greatest degree of lustre; for having survived the famous actors
upon whose model he had formed himself, he was now at
liberty to display his genius in its full extent.-His merit as an
actor cannot now be yery accurately displayed; but Cibber informs
liS, " Betterton was an actor, as Shakspeare was an àllthor, both
without competitors, formed for the mutu
l assistance and illustra-
tion of each other's genius! How Shakspl'are wrote, an men who
bave a taste for nature may read and know; but with what higher
rapture would he still be read, could they conceive how Betterton
played him! Then might they know the one was born alone to
speak what the other only knew to write! l:>ity it is that the mo-
lllentary beauties, flowing from an harmonious elocution, cannot,

like those of poetry, be their own record! that the animated
graces of the player can live no lon
er than the instant breath and
motion that present them, or at best can but faintly glimmer
through the memory or imperfect attestation of a few surviving
"Spectators! Could how Betterton spoke be as easily known as
what he spoke, then might you see the muse of Shakspeare in her
triumph, with all her beauties in her best array, rising into real
life, and charming her beholders. But alas! since all this is so far
out of the reach of description, how shall I shew you Betterton?
S
ould I therefore tell you that all the Othellos, Hamlets, Hotspurs,
l\lacbeths, and Brutuses, you have seen since his time, have fallen
short of him, this still would give you no idea of his particular ex...
cellence."
This admirable performer continued to p1ay after he had reached
the age of seventy, when the public remembering the pleasure he
had given them, would not allow so desérving a man, after fifty
years' service, to withdraw without sdm'e marks of their bounty;
and in the spring of 1709, a benefit, which was then a very un-
common favour, was granted to him, and the p1ay of Lore for
Love was acted for this purpose. He himself performed Valentine;
Mrs. Bracegirdle, and
Irs. Barry, though they had quitted the
stage, appeared on this occasion; the former in the character of
Angelica, and lVII's. Barry in that of 1\11'8. Frail. After the play
was over, these two actresses appeared leaùing on Betterton; and
Mrs. Barry spoke an epilogue_, written by !VIr. Rowe.
Mr. Betterton died April 28, 1710, and was interl'ed in 'Vest-
nlinster Abbey. Sir Richard Steele attended the funeTal, and two
days after published a paper in the "Tatler" to his memory.
EDW ARD KYNASTON; froJll, an original pic-
ture by Stir Peter Lely. R. Cooper sc. 4to.
Edward K Yllaston, a very handsome youth, at the time of the
restoration of Charles the second, in the year 1660, was engaged
by Sir 'Vill"am Davenant to perform the principal female characters
at that time represented on the stage, which he is reported to have
done with extraordinary success, and was so much in vogue that
the ladies of quality prided themselves in taking him with them in
their coaches to Hyde-Park, in his theatrical habit after the play;
which in those days they had sufficient time to do, as plays then

ed to begin at fout 0 clock. Kynaston continued to perform in
female attire, long after he had reached manhood; and the occasion
of his giving up that cast of characters was in consequence of the
king's coming a little before his usual time tå a tragedy, who found
the actors not ready to begin; when his majesty, not choosing to
have as much patience as his good subjects, sent to learn the cause
of the delay; upon which the master of the company went to the
royal box, and rightly judging that the best excuse for the default
would be the true one, fairly told his n1ajesty that the queen was
not yet shaved. Charles, whose good humour loved to laugh at a
jest, as well as to make one, accepted the excuse, which served to
divert him, till the male queen could be effeminated.
After resigning the petticoats, Kynaston assumed the male parts
in the first line of tragedy. Hi:o) handsomeness was very little abated,
even at the age of sixty; his teeth were all sound, white, and even
as a reigning toa
t of twenty. He had something of a formal gra-
vity in his mien, which was attributed to the stately step he had
been so early confined to, in female characters. But even that, in
characters of superiority, had its proper graces; it misbecame hiln
not in the part of Leon, in Fletcher's Rule a IVife, and have a TV{fe;
which he executed with a determined manliness, and honest autho-
rity, well worth the best actor's imitation. He had a piercing eye,
and in characters of heroic life, a quick imperious vivacity, in his
tone of voice, that painted the tyrant truly terrible. There were
two plays of Dryden in which he shone with uncommon lustre;
in Aurenge-Zebe he played l\lorat; and in DOll Sebastian, Muley
l\tloloch; in both these parts, he had a fIerce, lion-like majesty il1
his port and utterance, that gave the spectator a kind of trembling
admiration!
. He continued on the stage until the latter end of the reign of
King \Villiam, or the beginning of the reign of Queen Anne J the
time of his death is uncertain.

Catharine Sedley was a woman of a sprightly and agreeable wit,
which could charm without the aid of beauty, and longer maintain
its power. She had been the king's mistress, before he ascended
the throne; and was, not long after, created countess of Dorches-
tel'. Sir Charles Sedley, her father, looked upon this title as a
splendid indignity, purchased at the expense of his daughter's
honour.t The king continued frequently to visit her, which gave

great uneasiness to the queen, who employed her fri
nds, and
especially the priests, to persuade him to break off his amorous
correspondence. They remonstrated to hilll the guilt of such a
commerce, and the reproach it would bring on the Catholic religion.
She, on the contrary, employed the whole force of her ridicule
against the priests and their counsels; but without success. They,
at length, prevailed with him to forsake her; and he is said to have
" sent her word, either to retire into France, or to have her pension
of 4000l. a year withdrawn."* It was then, probably, that she
repented of having been the royal mistress:

She understood dress, and was expensive in it to a degree of
extravagance. She had by the king a daughter named Catharine,
who was 61'3t married to James, earl of Anglesey, and afterward
to John Sheffield, duke of Buckinghamshire and Normanby. This
lady has drawn her own character to as great advantage as that of
the duke her husband is drawn in the dedications of Dryden, and
other panegyrics of his contemporary poets. t The countess, her
mother, who was "a spy to government," and in danger of being
impeached for treason in the reign of'Villiam,t espoused David,

15G llIOGR.APJIIC.AL IIISTORY
From the evidence that was given on Lord Grey's trial for se-
-clueing the Lady Henrietta Berkeley, it appeared that he had en-
couraged a passion for her when she was a girl, and basely taking
advantage of the opportunities which his alliance with her family
afforded, had succeeded in seducing her when she was but little
more than seventeen. After she had acknowledged an affection for
him, the intrigue was continued about a twelvemonth without dis-
covery, but with great risk; and on one occasion, as he himself
confessed, he "was two days locked up in her closet, without
food or drink, but only a little sweetmeats." At length, the sns-
picions of the Countess of Berkeley being excited by some trivial
accident, she commanded her third daughter, the Lady Arabella,
to search her sister's room, on which the latter delivered up a letter
she had just been writing to Lord Grey, to this effect :-" My sister
Bell did not suspect onr being together last night; for she did not
hear the noise. Pray come again Sunday or Monday; if the last,
I shall be very impatient." This disclosure took place at Berkeley-
house, in London; and every precaution was taken to prevent any
correspondence or clandestine meeting between the parties; not-
withstanding which, Lady Henrietta contrived to elope from Dur-
dants (a seat of the Berkeleys, near Epsom), and to join Lord
Grey in London, with whom she resided for a short time in a
]odging-house, at Charing-cross.
The Earl of Berkeley indicted him, and several other persons,
for conspiring to ruin his daughter, by seducing her from her fa-
ther's hOllse, anLl soliciting her to commit whoredom and adultery
with the said Lord Grey. The trial came on in November, 1682,
at Westminster I-Ial1; and after a most affecting scene, the Lady
I-Ienrietta being herself present, and making oath that she had left
home of her own accord, the jury were preparing to withdraw to
consider of their verdict, when a new turn was given to the pro..;
ceedings, by the lady's declaring, in opposition to her father's claim
of her person, "that she would not go with him; that she was
married, and under no restraint, and that her husband was then in
court."
Sir Francis Pemberton, the lord chief-justice; then desired to
see her husband: on this a 1\11'. Turner came forward, and stating
himself to be "a gentleman, sometimes resident in town and often
in Somersetshire," claimed her as his wife, and affirmed that he
had two witnesses present to testify the marriage. Under these
circumstances Lord Grey was admitted to bail; but Lorù BerkelfY

again claiming his daughter, and attempting to seize her by force
in the hall, a great scuffle ensued, and swords were drawn on both
sides. At this critical moment the court broke up, and the judge
passing by, ordered his tip-staff to take Lady Henrietta into custody,
and convey her to the King's Bench; whither Mr. Turner aCCOln-
panied her. On the last day of term, she was released by order
of the court; and the business being in some way arranged among
the parties, during the vacation, the law-suit was not persevered in.
Lady Henrietta, herself, is stated to have died, unmarried, in the
year 1710; consequently, the claim of Turner must have been a
mere collusion to save Lord Grey.

lived to a very advanced age, and died, not many years since, at
Paris, where she spent the latter part of her life. I was told by
an honourable person who knew her well, that she inherited a large
portion of her father's wit and vivacity.* The Earl of Rochester
had a son named Charles, who died 12 November, 1681; upon
which the title became extinct. It was afterward conferred upon

Lady Harriot \Ventworth, a woman of an elegant person and
engaging manners, was well known to the world as the Inistre
s of
the Duke of l\Ionmouth. This criminal attachment was, for a con-
siderable time, supposed to have been maintained with constancy,
at least on her side. The duke acknowledged, just before his ex-
ecution, to two prelates and other divines who attended him, that
" he hall an affection for Lady Harriot, and prayed that if it were
pleasing to God, it might continue; otherwise, that it -might cease;
and God heard his prayer." When he addressed himself to the
people from the scaffold, he spoke "in vindication of the Lady
Harriot, saying, she was a woman of great honour and virtue, a
relig"ious godly lady." He was told by some of the divines" of his
living in adultery with her." He said, "that for these two years
past he h3.d not lived in any sin that he knew of, and that he was
sure, when he died, to go to God, and therefore he did not fear
death, which they might see in hi:; face."t
.. I do not believe this was the Laòy Barriot 'Vcntworth, whowas mistress to the
Duke of l\Ionmouth, who was always called Lady Harriot antI not Lady lVent-
worth. I remember an old Lady 'Vent.worth so called, who probably was niece to
Lady Harriot, and who I suppose to be represented by this print.-LoRD ORFORD.

tried and condemned for the concern he had in his rebellion; but
was reprieved by the king the 2d of December, 1685: the 5th
of that month had been assigned for his execution. This was
the most signal, if not the only act of James's clemency. He was
tried and condemned but few years before, for breaking a boy's

deservedly celebrated for his parliamentary talents. I have heard
it remarked by a person who was well acquainted with the history
of the family, that he never knew a poor man, or a plebeian, of the

It has been conjectured, that the lady representecl by the print

in the latter end of the reign of Charles II. published an account
of that prince's concealment, at the house of Colonel Wyndham,

her, notwithstanding the ridicule of the court. A party of pleasure
having been formed into Yorkshire by the duke and dutchess, Miss
Churchill, as maid of honour, attended; the duke persevered in his
suit; but his passion was thought to be on the decline, when it was
revived and st.rengthened by the following incident.
The royal party went ou t a coursing; the dutchess was in a car-
riage, and aU the ladies on horseback. The maids of honour, in
general, were indifferently mounted; but Miss Churchill, in com-
pliment to the duke, was provided with a spirited horse, a prefel'-
ence which afforded her no satisfaction, as she was a very bad
horse-wOluan. The duke, who rode by her side, expressed discon-
tent at her awkwardness, and terror had so increased her natural
paleness, that his disgust was complete. He spurred his horse for-
ward, intending to have joined some other ladies, when Miss
Churchill's palfrey, animated at the example, and impatient of the
rein, sprang forward at a fuB gaUop. The lady screamed out, and,
after some awkward efforts to retain her seat, fell just as the duke
carne up to her assistance. She sustained no injury from the acci-
dent; but the derangement of her dress discovered a figure so
exquisitely proportioned, as to make ample compensation for the
want of a more beautiful face. The duke renewed his attentions
with the redoubled ardour, and it was soon perceived that his assi-
duities were not unsuccessful.
The offspring of this attachment were two sons and two daughters.
The elùest son was the celebrated James Fitz-James, duke of Ber-
wick; the younger, I-Ienry Fitz-James, was grand-prior of France,
and after the revolution in England was, by his father, created
duke of Albemarle. Henrietta, the eldest daug-hter, married Lord
Waldegrave; and the younger daughter, whose name is not pre-
served, took the veil.
Miss Churchill was afterward married to Colonel Charles God-
frey, comptroller of the household, and master of the jewel-office,
by whom she had two daughters. She died in l'tlay, 1730, at the
age of eighty-two.

Elizabeth Elstob was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in 1683.
Her mother, who was a great admirer of learning, especially in her
own sex, observed the particular fondness which her daughter bad
for books, and omitted nothing that might tend to her improve-
ment; but having the misfortune to lose this indulgent parent,
when about eight years of age, she was left to the care of a guardian,
who imagined one tongue was s1J..fficient for an!} woman. 'Vith some
difficulty, however, she obtained leave to learn French; and iú
time, by incessant study, became an excellent linguist, being not
only mistress of her own and the Latin, but also of seven other
languages.
Mrs. Elstob translated from the French, Madame Scudery's
" Essay on Glory."-In 1713, she published" Some Testimonies
of learned l\len, in favour of an intended edition of the Saxon
Homilies." A few of these homilies were printed at Oxford, in
folio; but she did not find encouragmnent to go on with the work.
In 1715 she published a Saxon Grammar; but on the death of her
brother she was reduced to poverty, and kept a school at Evesham.
Queen Caroline gave her a pension, which ceased at the death of
her Inajesty. After this she was taken into the family of the
Dutchess of Portland as a governess. She died of a cancer in 1756.

p2rformed his office with uncommon rigour. The best thing
James ever did, was punishing Oates for his peljury; and the
greatest thing Oates ever did, was supporting himself under the
most affiictive part of his punishment with the resolution and
constancy of a martyr. A pension of 4001. a year was conferred
upon this miscreant by King 'Villiam. He was, for a c1ergymRn,

cious critics have discovered very evident traces of the ancient
drama in the dialogue betwixt Punch and the fiddler; in which the
former answers to one or more of the actors, and the latter to the

one of the oranges happened to fall, and appeared by the sound to

to his feet. But what is still more extraordinary, a monkey has lately

continued until the expiration of his time; hut no sooner did he
become his own -master, than he gave way to a very irregular course
of life; and committed numerous depredations on the public pre-
vious to commencing a confirmed highwayman.
Meeting a gentleman on Bagshot-heath, he commanded him to
stand and deliver, to which the other replied, "'Tis well you
spoke first; for I was just going to say the same thing to you."
"\Vhy, are you a gentleman thief, then 1" quoth 'Vhitney. " Yes,"
said the stranger, "but I have had very bad success to-day."
Whitney upon this wished him better luck, and took his leave,
really supposing him to be what he pretended.-At night it was
the fortune of Whitney and this person to put up at the same inn,
when our gentlmnan told some other traveBers, by what stra-
tagem he had escaped being robbed on the road. Whitney had so
altered his habit and speech, that the gentleman did not know him
again; so that he heard all the story, without being taken notice'
of. Among other things, he heard him tell one of the cOlnpany
softly, that he had saved 100l. by his contrivance. The person
to whom he had whispered this, was going the same road the next
morning, and said, he had also a considerable sum about him, and
if he pleased, should be glad to travel with him for security.
When morning came, the travellers set out, and Whitney in
about a quarter of an hour, after them; all the discourse of the
gentlemen was about cheating the highwaymen, if they should meet
any. 'Vhen \Vhitney, at a convenient place, had got before them,
and bid them stand, the gentleman whom he met before, not know-
ing him, he having disguised himself in another manner, briskly
cried out, " We were going to say the same thing to you, Sir."
" '\Vere you so 1" quoth \Vhitney, " and are you of my profession,
then 1" " Yes," said both. "If you are," replied 'Vhitney, " I
suppose you remember the old proverb, C two of a trade can never
agree,' so that you must not expect any favour on that score. But
to be plain, gentlemen, the trick will do no longer; I know you
very well, and must have your 100l. Sir; and your considerable
sum, Sir, turning to the other, let it be what it will, or I shan make
bold to send a brace of bullets through each of your heads. Y ou
lVlr. Highwayman, should have kept your secret a little longer, and
not have boasted so soon of ha ving outwitted a thief; there is no-
thing for you to do, but deliver or die." - These terrible words put
them both in a sad consternation; they:were loath to lose their lnoney,
but more loath to lose their lives; so, of two evils they chose the .

least; the telltale coxcomb disbursing his 1001. and the other
a somewhat larger sum, professing that they would be careful for
the future not to count without their host.
'Vhitney always affected to appear generons and noble: meeting
one day with a gentleman on Newmarket-heath, whose name was
Long, and having robbed him of 100l. in silver, which was in his
portmanteau, tied up in a great bag, the gentlelnall told him he had
a great way to go, and, as he was unknown upon the road, should
meet with many difficulties, if he did not return as much as would
bear his expenses. \Vhitney opened the mouth of the bag, and
holding it to 1\'lr. Long, " Here," says he, " take what you have
occasion for." Mr. Long put in his hand, and took as much as he
could hold: to which 'Vhitney made no opposition, but only said with
a smile, " I thought you would have had more conscience, Sir."
After running a course of adventures on the road for upw
rds of
thirteen years, he was apprehended on the information of Mother
Cozens, who kept a house of ill-fame in Milford-]ane, near 81. Cle-
nlent's church. The magistrate, who took the information, committed
him to Newgate, where he remained till the next sessions at the Old
Bailey, when he was brought to tria] and found guilty. The recorder
in passing sentence of death on him, exhorted him to a sincere re-
pentance, as it was impossible for him to hope for any reprieve, after
such a course of villanies; and, on 'Vednesday, the 19th of Dec.
1694, he was carried to the place of execution, which was at Por-
ter's Block, near Smithfield, where he hung, being about thirty-
four years of age.

cuted; on which he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced,
" That he should go to all the courts in 'V estminster, with a paper
pinned on his hat, expressing his crime; that he should stand three
times in the pillory, two hours at a time, on Friday following, at
Charing-cross; on Saturday, at Temple-bar; and on l\londay,
before the Royal Exchange; that he should be sent to Bridewell
the Friday after, and there be whipt; and afterward kept to hard
labour, until the second day of the next term; and be fined a thou-
sand marks."
\Vhatever might have been the extent of his guilt, his punish-
ment bore pace with it; being, according to the following- account
{written by himself), far worse than death itself. "All this was
executed; and at my standing in the pillo..y, never was man, amongst
Turks or Barbarians, known to be worse used. I was sadly abused
at Charing-cross; but at Temple-bar I was stifled with an manner
of dirt, and rotten eggs; and my left eye was so bruised, with a
stone flung, that it swelled out of my head immediately; the blow
deprived me of my senses, and I fell down and hung by the neck.
Three times was I served in that kind, losing all manner of sense,
though I fell down but twice; and being almost dead, I was by
order taken out, but felt not my release; nor was I sensible of any
thing for some hours after. I was a miserable object to behold,
and hardly any that saw me thought it possible for me to survive.
I was all over bruised from head to heel; and on the small of my
back, as I was stooping, a stone struck me, which being taken up,
was found to weigh more than six pounds. On l\londay, in the
city, I was more tenderly used; after having made a complaint to
Sir James Bateman, then sheriff.
The days of punishment were, Friday the 25th, Saturday 26th,
and l\londay the 28th of June, 1702.

on the Jalnes-tide, at 'VhalIey, in Lancashire, in the year 1688,
had offered himself to the devil, on condition of his becoming an
expert dancer ;-from which time he was dreadfully troubled with
strange fits; dancing in a most uncommon manner on his knees,
and in other ways, greatly superior to the most expert dancers; at
which times he would be so light in weight, as to be lifted from the
ground by the buttons of his clothes; and the next instant so heavy,
that seven men could not stir him.
Every physical method was tried on him, without effect; and it
was not until one year after, that he obtained relief, from the united
efforts of a Mr. Jolly, and five other puritan divines. The account
of which, together with the affidavits of many witnesses, was pub-
lished in the year 1697, in a tract, entitled, "The Surey Demoniack,
Or the wonderful dealings of Satan, about the person of Richard
Dugdale.to-In the same year, Zachary Taylor answered it in a
tract, called " The Surey Impostor;' in which he most clearly
proves the whole to be a cheat, and compares the story to that of
'Villiam Summers and the Boy of Hilson. This produced a third
tract by T. Jolly, caUed " A Vindication of the Surey Demoniack,
as no Impostor," which is little n10re than a revisal of the first;
with an addition of Richard Dugdale's confession, sworn nine years
after his being first afflicted; but the whole is too weak in all its
evidences not to be seen through as a contrivance to raise the re...
putation of the Puritans.

I shall conclude this reign, with observing, that Lord Bacon has
somewhere remarked, that biography has been confined within too
narrow limits; as if the lives of great personages only deserved
the notice of the inquisitive part of mankind. I have, perhaps, in
the foregoing strictures, extended the sphere of it too far: I began
with monarchs, and have ended with ballad-singers, chimney-
sweepers, and beggars. But they that fill the highest and lowest
classes of human life, seem, in many respects, to be more nearly
allied than even thenlselves imagine. A slÚlful anatmnist would
find little or no difference, in dissecting the body of a king and that
of the Ineanest of his subjects; and a judicious philosopher would
discover a surprising conforn1Ïty, in discussing the nature and qua-
]ities of their minds. *

CURIOUS PORTRAITS,
Some of which, at least, it is hoped, will be engraved, was con1-
municated by
rr. WALPOLE to the author, who has taken the
liberty to methodize it according to his own plan.

,vorth- Field; at W orksop, the seat of the Duke of
Norfolk.
REIGN OF HENRY VIII.
QUEEN CA THARINE PARR; at the Earl of
Denbigh "s, at N ewnham, in "\Varwickshire.
At the Queen's House, in the library, are the curious
portraits of the Court of Henry VIII. &c. by Holbein.*
The whole of these inimitable drawings, by Holbein, have been
exquisitely engraved by Bartolozzi, in the same size as the originals,
and published by the late Mr. Chamberlain. There is likewise a
set done by several eminent engravers, quarto size.
JAMES V. king of Scots, and his Queen; at the
Duke of Devonshire's, at Hard,vick. Mr. Walpole
has a copy of it in ,vater-colours.
CHRISTIANA, dutchess of Milan, who refused to
marry Henry VIII.t at W orksop.
· Some of these have been mentioned in another place. as having been etched
and published by 1\lr. Dalton. Among those which are not yet published,t are
Queen Anne Bolen; Queen Jane Seymour; the Lady l\Iary, afterward Queen; the
Lord-chancellor Rich; the Earl of Surrey; John Co let, dean of St. Paul's; Sir
Thomas \Vyatt; John l\Iore, son of Sir Thomas; the Dutchess of Suffolk; the
Countess of Surrey; and Lady Elyot.
t As the dutchess was never in England, her portrait, in strict propriety, cannot
be placed in the English series. When a marriage with Henry was proposed to
ber, she declined the overture, declaring, that if she had two heads, one of them
should be at his highness's service.
