Стр. 210 - I came into the House one morning, well clad, and perceived a gentleman speaking whom I knew not, very ordinarily apparelled ; for it was a plain cloth suit which seemed to have been made by an ill country tailor ; his linen was plain, and not very clean, and I remember a speck or two of blood upon his little band, which was not much larger than his collar ; his hat was without a hatband ; his stature was of a good size ; his sword stuck close to his side ; his countenance swollen and reddish ; his...
Стр. 168 - In such sessions, ten hours long, there was much public eating, not only of confections, but of flesh and bread ; bottles of beer and wine going thick from mouth to mouth, without cups ; and all this in the King's eye : yea, many but turned their back, and — (Good Heavens!) — through the forms they sat on.

Стр. 161 - His memory was great, and he made it greater by confiding in it. His elocution was very fluent, and it was a great part of his talent readily to reply, or freely to harangue upon any subject.
Стр. 137 - He was no plodder upon books, though he read much, and that with great judgment, and rejection of impertinences incident to many authors ; for he would ever interlace a moderate relaxation of his mind with his studies, as walking, or taking the air abroad in his coach, or...
Стр. 26 - Julio the second only excepted ; and in him he represented the reigning passion rather than the man. In painting he contented himself with a negative colour, and, as the painter of mankind, rejected all meretricious ornament.

Стр. 25 - His line is uniformly grand. Character and beauty were admitted only as far as they could be made subservient to grandeur.
Стр. 171 - King ; with speed he comes to the House; he calls rudely at the door; James Maxwell, Keeper of the Black Rod, opens ; his Lordship, with a proud glooming countenance, makes towards his place at the board head...
