Side 302 - The production of Edmund Lodge, Esq., Norroy King of Arms, whose splendid Biography of Illustrious Personages stands an unrivalled specimen of historical literature, and magnificent Illustration. Of Mr. Lodge's talent for the task he has undertaken, we need only appeal to his former productions. It contains the exact sta'e of the Peerage as it now exists, with all the Collateral Branches, their Children, with all the Marriages of the different individuals connected with each family.
Side 1 - Thus with each gift of nature and of art, And wanting nothing but an honest heart ; Grown all to all, from no one vice exempt; And most contemptible to shun contempt...
Side 299 - Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won, I'll frown, and be perverse, and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo — but else, not for the world ! In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou may'st think my 'haviour light, But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true Than those who have more cunning to be strange.
Side 72 - I have received tho letter which you have done me the honour to write to me on the 23rd of this month.
