Vol. VII. (of XXI.)

CHAPTER I
11/16

These are his eligibilities, recommending him at Berlin, and to Official men at home.

Family is old enough: Hothams of Scarborough in the East Riding; old as WILHELMUS BASTARDUS; and subsists to our own day.

This Sir Charles is lineal Son of the Hothams who lost their heads in the Civil War; and he is, so to speak, lineal UNCLE of the Lords Hotham that now are.

So far has Villa sped.
Hotham got to Berlin on Sunday, 2d April, 1730.
