OF THE COURT OF QUEEN ANNE.

great honour and honesty, with a moderate capacity. None at all.


He has one only daughter, who will be the richest heiress in Europe. Now countess of Oxford; cheated by her father.


He is a gentleman good natured to a fault; very well bred, and has many valuable things in him; is an enemy to business, very credulous, well shaped, black complexion, much like king Charles; not 30 years old. A shallow coxcomb.


Does not make any figure at court. Nor any where else. A great booby.


He is a man of honour, nice in paying his debts; and living well with his neighbours in the country, does not much care for the conversation of men of quality, or business. Is a tall, black man, like his father the king; about 40 years old. He was a most worthy person, very good natured, and had very good sense.


Grandson to king Charles II; a very pretty gentleman; has been abroad in the world; zealous for the constitution of his country. A tall black man, about 25 years old. Almost a slobberer, without one good quality.
