The dull, tobacco-smoking Saxon-Polish Majesty, about whom he idly retails so many scandals, had never done him any offence.
On the whole, if anybody wanted a swim in the slop-pails of that extinct generation, Hanbury, could he find an Editor to make him legible, might be printed.

For he really was deep in that slop-pail or extinct-scandal department, and had heard a great many things.

Apart from that, in almost any other department,--except in so far as he seems to DATE rather carefully,--I could not recommend him.

The Letters and Excerpts given in Walpole are definable as one pennyworth of bread,--much ruined by such immersion, but very harmless otherwise, could you pick it out and clean it,--to twenty gallons of Hanbury sherris-sack, or chamber-slop.

I have found nothing that seems to be, in all points, true or probable, but this; worth cutting out, and rendering legible, on other accounts.
