DIAHY OF SAMUEL PEPYS. 1668. August 1st. My mfe, and Deb., and I, to the King's house again, coming too late yesterday to hear the prologue, and do like the play better now than before ; and, indeed, there is a great deal of true wit in it, more than in the common sort of plays. 2d. (Lord's day.) Up and at home all the morning, hang- ing and removing of some pictures, in my study and house. After dinner, I and Tom, my boy, by water up to Putney, and there heard a sermon, and many fine people in the church. Thence walked to Barne Elmes, and there, and going and coming, did make the boy read to me several things, being now-a-days unable to read myself anything, for above two lines together, but my eyes grow weary. 3d. Meeting Dr. Gibbons, carried him to the Sun Taverne, in King Street, and there made him, and some friends of his, drink ; among others. Captain Silas Taylor. 4th. At my Lord Arlington's, where, by Creed's being out of town, I have the trouble given me of drawing up answers to the complaints of the Turks of Algiers, and so I have all the papers put into my hand. 5th. To the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw " The Guardian ;" formerly the same, I find, that was called " Cutter of Coleman Street ;" a silly play. And thence to Westmin- ster Hall, where I met Fitzgerald ;' and with him to a tavern, * See 24th Sept., 1662; and 29lh April, 1663. 1* (1) 2 DIARY OF [TthAngnst, to consider of the instructions for Sir Thomas Allen, against his going to Algiers ; he and I being designed to go down to Portsmouth by the Council's order, to-morrow morning. So I away home, and there bespeak a coach ; and so home and to bed. 6th. Waked betimes, and my wife, at an hour's warning, is resolved to go with me, which pleases me, her readiness. But, before ready, comes a letter from Fitzgerald, that he is seized upon last night by an order of the General's by a file of musqueteers, and kept prisoner in his chamber. The Duke of York did tell me of it to-day : it is about a quarrel between him and Witham, and they fear a challenge : so I to him, and sent my wife by the coach round to Lambeth. I lost my labour going to his lodgings, and he in bed : and, staying a great while for him, I at last grew impatient, and would stay no longer ; but to St. James's to Mr. Wren, to bid him " God be with you !" and so over the water to Fox Hall ; and there my wife and Deb. took me up, and we away to Gilford, losing our way for three or four miles, about Cobham. At Gilford we dined ; and I showed them the hospitall there of Bishop Abbot's,' and his tomb in the church, which, and the rest of the tombs there, are kept mighty clean and neat, with curtains before them. So to coach again, and got to Liphook, late over Hindhead, having an old man, a guide, in the coach with us ; but got thither with great fear of being out of our way, it being ten at night. Here good, honest people ; and after supper, to bed. 7th. To coach, and with a guide to Petersfield, where I find Sir Thomas Allen and Mr. Tippets '^ come ; the first about the business, the latter only in respect to me ; as also Fitzgerald, who came post all last night, and newly arrived here. We four sat down presently to our business, and in an hour despatched all our talk ; and did inform Sir Thomas Allen well in it, who, I perceive, in serious matters, is a serious man : and tells me he wishes all we are told be true, in our defence ; for he finds by all, that the Turks have, to this day, been very ' George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Then to dinner, and pretty merry : and here was Mr. Martin, the purser, who dined with us, and wrote some things for us. And so took coach again back ; Fitzgerald with us, whom I was pleased with all the day, with his discourse of his observa- tions abroad, as being a great soldier and of long standing abroad ; and knows all things and persons abroad very well — I mean, the great soldiers of France, and Spain, and Ger- many ; and talks very well. Came at night to Gilford, where the Red Lyon so full of people, and a wedding, that the master of the house did get us a lodging over the way, at a private house, his landlord's, mighty neat and fine ; and there supped : and so to bed. 8th. Met uncle Wight, whom I sent to last night, and Mr. Wight coming to see us, and I walked ivith them back to see my aunt at Katherine Hill, and there walked up and down the hill and places about ; but a dull place, but good ayre, and the house dull. But here I saw my aunt, after many days not seeing her — I think, a year or two ; and she walked with me to see my wife. And here, at the Red Lyon, we all dined together, and pretty merry, and then parted : and we home to Fox Hall, where Fitzgerald and I 'light, and by water to White Hall, where the Duke of York being abroad, I by coach and met my wife. I hear that Colbert,' the French Ambas- sador, is come, and hath been at Court incognito. When he hath his audience, I know not. 9th. (Lord's day.) Waited on the Duke of York : and both by him and several of the Privy-Council, beyond expectation, I find that my going to Sir Thomas Allen was looked upon as a thing necessary: and I have got some advantage by it, among them. To visit Lord Brouncker, and back to White Hall, where saw the Queen and ladies ; and so, vdth Mr. Slingsby, to Mrs. Williams's, thinking to dine with Lord Brouncker there, but did not, having promised my wife to * Charles Cclbert, Marquis de Croissy, brother of Jean Baptiste Colbert, the great Mioister. 4 DIARY OP [11th August come home, though here I met Knipp, to my great content. So home ; and, after dinner, I took my wife and Deb. round by Hackney, and up and down to take the ayre ; and then home, and made visits to Mrs. Turner, and Mrs. Mercer, and Sir W. Pen, who is come from Epsom not well, and Sir J. Minnes, who is not well neither. And so home to supper, and to set my books a little right, and then to bed. 10th. To my Lord Arlington's house, the first time since he came thither, at Goring House, a very fine, noble place ; and there he received me in sight of several Lords with great respect. I did give him an account of my journey ; and here, while I waited for him a little, my Lord Orrery took notice of me, and begun discourse of hangings, and of the improve- ment of shipping : I not thinking that he knew me, but did then discover it, with a mighty compliment of my abilities and ingenuity, which I am mighty proud of; and he do speak most excellently. To Cooper's, where I spent all the afternoon with my wife and girl, seeing him make an end of her picture, which he did to my great content, though not so great as, I confess, I expected, being not satisfied in the greatness of the resemblance, nor in the blue garment: but it is most certainly a most rare piece of work, as to the painting.' He hath BOl. for his work — and the chrystal, and case, and gold case comes to 8/. 3s. 4:d. ; and which I sent him this night, that I might be out of his debt. Home to supper, and my wife to read a ridiculous book I bought to-day of the History of the Taylors' Company.^ 11th. The Parliament met long enough to adjourne to the 10th of November next. At the Office all the afternoon till night, being mightily pleased with a trial I have made of the ' Thie miniature of Mrs. Fepys cannot be traced. * The title of this book was, "The Honour of the Merchant Taylors. Wherein is set forth the noble acts, valliant deeds, and heroiok performances of Merchant Taylors in former ages; their honourable lores and knightly adventure, their combating of foreign enemies and glorious successes in honour of the English nation : together with their pious acts and large benevolences, their building of pub- lick structures, especially that of Blackwell Hall, to be a market-place for the sel- ling of woollen deaths : Written by William Winstanley.

This day I hear that, to the great joy cf the Nonconformists, the time is out of the Act against them, so that they may meet : and they have declared that they will have a morning lecture ' up again, which is pretty strange ; and they are connived at by the King every where, I hear, in the City and country. This afternoon my wife, and Mercer, and Deb., went with Pel- ling to see the gypsies at Lambeth,^ and have their fortunes told ; but what they did, I did not enquire. 12th. Captain Cocke tells me that he hears for certain the Duke of York will lose the authority of an Admiral, and be governed by a Committee : and all our OiEce changed ; only they are in dispute whether I shall continue or no, which puts new thoughts in me, but I know not whether to be glad or sorry. Home to dinner, where Polling dines with us, and brings some partridges, which are very good meat ; and, after dinner, I, and wife, and Mercer, and Deb., to the Duke of York's house, and saw " Macbeth," to our great content, and then home, where the women went to the making of my tubes.' Then come Mrs. Turner and her husband to advise about their son, the Chaplain, who is turned out of his ship, a sorrow for them, which I am troubled for, and do give them the best advice I can. 13th. W. Howe dined with me, who tells me for certain that Creed is like to speed in his match with Mrs. Betty Pickering. Here dined with me also Mr. HoUier, who is mighty vain in his pretence to talk Latin.. 14th. At home I find Symson, putting up my new chimney- piece,* in our great chamber, which is very fine, but will cost a great deal of money, but it is not flung away. I with Mr. Wren, by invitation, to Sir Stephen Fox's to dinner, where the Cofferer * and Sir Edward Savage f where many good ' The morning lectures at Cripplegate were of great celebrity among the Puritans.

My Lady jTox] dining with us ; a very good lady, and a family governed so nobly and neatly as do me good to see it. Thence the Cofferer, Sir Stephen, and I to the Commissioners of the Treasury about business : and so I up to the Duke of York, who enquired for what I had promised him, about my observations of the miscarriages of our Office ; and I told him he should have it next week, being glad he called for it ; for I find he is con- cerned to do something, and to secure himself thereby, I believe : for the world is labouring to eclipse him, I doubt ; I mean, the factious part of the Parliament. The Office met this afternoon as usual, and waited on him ; where, among other things, he talked a great while of his intentions of going to Dover soon, to be sworn as Lord Warden,' which is a matter of great ceremony and state. Spent the evening talking with my wife and piping, and pleased with our chimney-piece. 15th. After dinner with my wife, Mercer, and Deb., to the King's playhouse, and there saw "Love's Mistresse" revived, the thing pretty good, but full of variety of divertisement. 16th. (Lord's day.) All the morning at the Office with W. Hewer, there drawing up my Reports to the Duke of York, as I have promised, about the faults of this Office. 17th. To Hampstead, to speak with the Attorney-general,^ whom we met in the fields, by his old route and house ; and after a little talk about our business of Ackeworth, went and saw the Lord Wotton's^ house* and garden, which is wonder- and had been attached to the Royal cause. According to Kenuet, {Chroniclet p. 869,) he married the widow of Sir Richard Smith, one of the King's privy council. * Of the Cinque Ports. ' Sir Geoffry Palmer, Bart. He died at his house at Hampstead, 1st May, 1670. * Poliander de Kirkhoven, Lord of Hemfleet, in Holland, married Katherine, widow of Henry Lord Stanhope, eldest son of Philip, Barl of Chesterfield, who died vita patria. She was one of the four daughters and co-heirs of Thomas Lord Wotton ; and her son, Charles Henry Kirkhoven, here mentioned, was created Lord Wotton, of Wotton, in Kent, in 1650, by reason of his descent, and Earl of Bellomont, in Ireland, in 1670. He died without issue in 1682. * Belsyze House, in the parish of Hampstead, was for many years the rest- 16(!8] SAMUEL PEPTS. 7 full fine : too good for the house, the gardens are, being, in- deed, the most noble that ever I saw, and brave orange and lemon trees. Thence to Mr. Chiphly's ' by invitation, and there dined with Sir John, his father not coming home. And while at dinner comes by the French Ambassador Colbert's mules, the first I ever saw, with their sumpter-clothes mighty rich, and his coaches, he being to have his entry to-day : but his things, though rich, are not new ; supposed to be the same his brother^ had the other day, at the treaty at Aix-la-Oha- pelle, in Flanders. Thence to the Duke of York's house, and there saw " Cupid's Revenge," ^ under the new name of " Love Despised," that hath something very good in it, though I like not the whole body of it. This day the first time acted here. 18th. Alone to the Park ; but there were few coaches : among the few, there were our two great beauties, my Lady Castlemaine and Richmond ; the first time I saw the latter since she had the smallpox. I had much pleasure to see them, but I thought they were strange one to another. 19th. This week my people wash, over the water, and so I little company at home. Being busy above, a great cry I hear, and go down ; and what should it be but Jane, in a fit of direct raving, which lasted half-an-hour. It was beyond four or five of our strength, to keep her down ; and, when all come to all, a fit of jealousy about Tom, with whom she is in love. So at night I, and my wife, and W. Hewer called them to us, and there I did examine all the thing, and them, in league. She in love, and he hath got her to promise him to marry, and he is now cold in it, so that I must rid my hands of them, which troubles me. dence of the Wood family, as lessees, under the Dean and Chapter of West- minster, in whom the property is still vested. When Pepys visited the place, it was the chief seat of Charles Henry Kirkhoven, Lord Wotton, above-mentioned. That mansion, long since pulled down, had become, in 1720, a house of public entertainment, and was much in vogue, and continued open as late as 1745.

To work till past twelve at night, that I might get my great letter to the Diike of York ready against to-morrow, which I shall do, to my great content. 21st. Up betimes, and with my people again to work, and finished all before noon : and then I by water to White Hall, and there did tell the Duke of York that I had done ; and he hath desired me to come to him at Sunday next in the after- noon, to read the letter over, by which I have more time to consider and correct it. To St. James's ; and by and by comes Monsieur Colbert, the French Ambassador, to make his first visit to the Duke of York, and then to the Duchess : and I saw it : a silly piece of ceremony, he saying only a few formal words. A comely man, and in a black suit and cloak of silk, which is a strange fashion, now it hath been so long left off. This day I did first see the Duke of York's room of pictures of some Maids of Honour, done by Lilly :' good, but not like. Thence to Reeves's, and bought a reading-glass, and so to my bookseller's again, there to buy a book of Martyrs,^ which I did agree for ; and so away home, and there busy very late at the correcting my great letter to the Duke of York, and so to bed. 22d. Pretty well at ease, my great letter being now finished to my full content ; and I thank God I have opportunity of doing it, though I know it will set the Office and me by the ears for ever. This morning Captain Cocke comes, and tells me that he is now assured that it is true, what he told me the other day, that our whole Office will be turned out, only me, which, whether he says true or not, I know not, nor am much concerned, though I should be better contented to have it thus than otherwise. To the 'Change, and thence home, and took London-bridge in my way ; walking down Fish Street and Gracious Street, to see how very fine a descent they have now made down the hill, that it is become very easy and pleasant. Going through Leaden-Hall, it being market-day, I did see a woman catched, that had stole a shoulder of ' The set of portraits known as " King Charles's Beauties," 'ormerly in Windsoi Castle, but noyr at Hampton Court. * The Book of Martjrs was Fox's Aeti and JHonumenU. 1«68.] SAMUEL PBPTS. 9 mutton off of a butcher's stall, and carrying it wrapt up in a cloth, in a basket. The jade was surprised, and did not deny it, and the woman so silly, as to let her go that took it, only taking the meat. 23d. (Lord's day.) To church, and heard a good sermon of Mr. Gifford's at our church, upon " Seek ye first the king- dom of Heaven and its righteousness, and all things shall be added to you." A very excellent and persuasive, good and moral sermon. He showed, like a wise man, that righteous- ness is a surer moral way of being rich, than sin and villany. After dinner to the Office, Mr. Gibson and I, to examine my letter to the Duke of York, which, to my great joy, I did very well by my paper tube, without pain to my eyes. And I do mightily like what I have therein done ; and did, accord- ing to the Duke of York's order, make haste to St. James's, and about four o'clock got thither: and there the Duke of York was ready, expecting me, and did hear it all over with extraordinary content; and did give me many and hearty thanks, and in words the most expressive tell me his sense of my good endeavours, and that he would have a care of me on all occasions ; and did, with much inwardness,' tell me what was doing, suitable almost to what Captain Cocke tells me of designs to make alterations in the Navy ; and is most open to me in them, and with utmost confidence desires my further advice on all occasions : and he resolves to have my letter transcribed, and sent forthwith to the Office. So, with as much satisfaction as I could possibly, or did hope for, and obliga- tion on the Duke of York's side professed to me, I away into the Park, and there met Mr, Pierce and his wife, and sister and brother, and a little boy, and with them to Mulberry Garden, and spent 18s, on them, and there left them, she being again with child, and by it, the least pretty that ever I saw her. And so I away, and got a coach, and home, and there with my wife and W- Hewer, talking all the evening, my mind running on the business of the Office, to see what more I can do to the rendering myself acceptable and useful to all, and to the King.

My ■veife is upon hanging the long chamher, where the girl lies, with the sad stuff' that was in the best chamber, in order to the hanging that with tapestry. 25th. Up, and by water to St. James's ; and there, with Mr. Wren, did discourse about my great letter, which the Duke of York hath given him ; and he hath set it to be transcribed by Billings, his man, whom, as he tells me, he can most confide in for secresy, and is much pleased with it, and earnest to have it be ; and he and I are like to be much together in the considering how to reform the Office, and that by the Duke of York's command. Thence I, mightily pleased with this success, away to the Office, where all the morning, my head full of this business. And it is pretty how Lord Brouncker this day did tell me how he hears that a design is on foot to remove us out of the Office : and pro- poses that we two do agree to draw up a form of a new con- stitution of the Office, there to provide remedies for the evils we are now under, that so we may be beforehand with the world, which I agreed to, saying nothing of my design ; and, the truth is, he is the best man of them all, and I would be glad, next myself, to save him ; for, as he deserves best, so I doubt he needs his place most. 26th. In my way to the Old Swan,^ finding a great many people gathered together in Cannon Street about a man that was working in the ruins, and the ground did sink under him, and he sunk in, and was forced to be dug out again, but without hurt. It is strange to say with what speed ^ the people employed do pull down Paul's steeple, and with what ease : it is said that it, and the choir are to be taken down this year, and another church begun in the room thereof, the next. Home by coach with Sir D. Gauden, who, by the way, tells me how the City do go on in several things towards the building of the public places, which I am glad to hear ; and gives hope that in a few years it will be a glorious place ; but we met with several stops and troubles in the way in the streets, so ' stuff of a sad oolonr.

H as makes it bad to travel in the dark now through the City. So I to Mr. Batelier's by appointment, where I find my wife, and Deb., and Mercer ; Mrs. Pierce and her husband, son, and daughter ; and Knipp and Harris, and W. Batelier, and his sister Mary, and cozen Gumbleton, a good-humoured, fat young gentleman, son to the Jeweller, that dances well ; and here danced all night long, with a noble supper ; and about two in the morning the table spread again for a noble break- fast beyond all moderation, that put me out of countenance, 80 much and so good. Mrs. Pierce and her people went home betimes, she being big with child ; but Knipp and the rest staid till almost three in the morning, and then broke up. 27th. Knipp home with us, and I to bed, and rose about six, mightily pleased with last night's mirth. To St. James's, and there, with Mr. Wren, did correct his copy of my letter, which the Duke of York hath signed in my very words, with- out alteration of a syllable.' And so pleased therewith, I to my Lord Brouncker, who I find within, but hath business, and so comes not to the Office to-day. And so I by water to the Office, where we sat all the morning ; and, just as the Board rises, comes the Duke of York's letter, which I know- ing, and the Board not being full, and desiring rather to have the Duke of York deliver it himself to us, I suppressed it for this day, my heart beginning to falsify in this business, as being doubtful of the trouble it may give me by provoking them ; but, however, I am resolved to go through it, and it is too late to help it now. At noon to dinner to Captain Cocke's, where I met with Mr. Wren ; my going being to tell him what I have done, which he likes, and to confer with Cocke about our Office ; who tells me that he is confident the design of removing our Officers do hold, but that he is sure that I am safe enough. So away home, and there met at Sir Richard Ford's, with the Duke of York's Commissioners about our Prizes, with whom we shall have some trouble, before we make an end with them. I with my wife, and W. Batelier, and Deb. ; carried them to Bartholomew Fayre, where we * A cop7 of this letter is in the British Museum, Haxl.

To White Hall, where the Duke of York did call me aside, and told me that he must speak with me in the after- noon, and with Mr. "Wren, for that now he hath got the paper from my Lord Keeper' about the exceptions taken against the management of the Navy; and bo we are to debate upon answering them. At noon I home with Sir W. Coventry to his house ; and there dined with him, and talked freely with him ; and did acquaint him with what I have done, which he is well pleased with, and glad of: and do tell me that there are endeavours on foot to bring the Navy into new, but, he fears, worse hands. The Duke of York fell to work with us, the Committee being gone, in the Council- chamber ; and there, with his own hand, did give us his long letter, telling us that he had received several from us, and now did give us one from him, taking notice of our several doubts and failures, and desired answer to it, as he therein desired ; this pleased me well ; and so fell to other business, and then parted. And the Duke of York, and Wren, and I, it being now candle-light, into the Duke of York's closet in White Hall ; and there read over this paper of my Lord Keeper's, wherein are laid down the faults of the Navy, so sUly, and the remedies so ridiculous, or else the same that are now already provided, that we thought it not to need any answer, the Duke of York being able himself to do it : that so it makes us admire the confidence of these men to offer things so silly, in a business of such moment. But it is a most perfect instance of the complexion of the times ! and so the Duke of York said himself, who, I perceive, is mightily 'concerned in it, and do, again and again, recommend it to Mr. Wren and me together, to consider upon remedies fit to provide for him to propound for the King, before the rest of the world, and particularly the Commissioners of Accounts, who are men of understanding and order, to find our faults, and ofifer remedies of their own, which I am glad of, and will en- deavour to do something in it. So parted, and with much ' Sir Orlando Bridgmau. »»i«4.1 SAMUEL PBPYS.

Up, and all the morning at the Office, where the Duke of York's long letter was read, to their great trouble, and their suspecting me to have been the writer of it. And at noon comes, by appointment, Harris to dine with me : and after dinner he and I to Chyrurgeons'-hall, where they are building it new, very fine ; and there to see their theatre, which stood all the fire, and, which was our business, their great picture of Holben's,' thinking to have bought it, by the help of Mr. Pierce, for a little money : I did think to give 200?. for it, it being said to be worth lOOOZ. ; but it is so spoiled that I have no mind to it, and is not a pleasant, though a good picture. Thence carried Harris to his play- house, where, though four o'clock, so few people there at " The Impertinents," as I went out ; and do believe they did not act, though there was my Lord Arlington and his com- pany there. So I out, and met my wife in a coach, and stopped her going thither to meet me ; and took her, and Mercer, and Deb., to Bartholomew Fair, and there did see a ridiculous, obscene little stage-play, called " Marry Andrey ;" ^ a foolish thing, but seen by every body : and so to Jacob Hall's'' dancing of the ropes; a thing worth seeing, and mightily followed.

The painting is considered to be one of Holbein's best works, and is in good preservation, though it may have been damaged by the G^reat Fire, when the H&U suffered so much as to require repair. We are not told whether the Company named any price even if our Journalist had been inclined to the speculation. A fine print from the picture was made by B. Baron, in 1736, and it has again been en- £;raved for Knight's LondoUf which contains a very interesting account of Bar- bers Surgeons' Hall : the names of the persons represented by Holbein will also be found in the Oentleman't Magazine, for April, 1789. • Merry Andrew.

Coventry, my long letter to the Duke of York, and which the Duke of York hath, from mine, wrote to the Board, wherein he is mightily pleased, and I perceive do put great value upon me, and did talk very openly on all matters of State, and how some people have got the bit into their mouths, meaning the Duke of Buckingham and his party, and would likely run away with all. But what pleased me mightily was to hear the good character he did give of my Lord Falmouth for his generosity, good-nature, desire of public good, and low thoughts of his own wisdom ; his employing his interest in the King to do good offices to all people, without any other fault than the freedom he do learn in France of thinking himself obKged to serve his King in his pleasures : and was Sir W. Coventry's particular friend : and Sir W. Coventry do tell me very odde circumstances about the fatality of his death,' which are very strange.^ Thence to White Hall to chapel, and heard the anthem, and did dine with the Duke of Albemarle in a dirty manner as ever. All the afternoon, I sauntered up and down the house and Park. And there was a Committee for Tangier met, wherein Lord Middleton would, I think, have found fault with me for want of coles ; but I slighted it, and he made nothing of it, but was thought to be drunk ; and I see that he hath a mind to find fault with me and Creed, neither of us having yet applied ourselves to him about anything : but do talk of his profits and perquisites taken from him, and garrison reduced, and that it must be increased, and such things, as, I fear, he will be just such another as my Lord Tiviott and the rest, to ruin that place. So I to the Park, and there walk an hour or two ; and in the King's garden, and saw the Queen and * See 3d June, 1665, ante. * The particulars of this prediction are recorded in a MS. in the Fepjsian Collection, but the reference to it is unfortunately mislaid. 1668.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 15 ladies walk -, and I did steal some apples oflF the trees ;' and here did see my Lady Richmond, who is of a noble person as ever I did see, but her face worse than it was considerably by the smallpox: her sister^ is also very handsome. Coming into the Park, and the door kept strictly, I had opportunity of handing in the little, pretty, squinting girl of the Duke of York's house, but did not make acquaintance with her ; but let her go, and a little girl that was with her, to walk by themselves. So to White Hall in the evening, to the Queen's side, and there met the Duke of York ; and he did tell me and Sir W. Coventry, who was with me, how the Lord Anglesey did take notice of our reading his long and sharp letter to the Board ; but that it was the better, at least he said so. The Duke of York, I perceive, is earnest in it, and will have good effects of it ; telling Sir W. Coventry that it was a letter that might have come from the Commissioners of Accounts, but it was better it should come first from him. I met Lord Brouncker, who, I perceive, and the rest, do smell that it comes from me, but dare not find fault with it ; and I am glad of it, it being my glory and defence that I did occasion and write it. So by water home ; and did spend the evening with W. Hewer, telling him how we are all like to be turned out. Lord Brouncker telling me this evening that the Duke of Buckingham did, within few hours, say that he had enough to turn us all out: which I am not sorry for at all, for I know the world will judge me to go for com- pany; and my eyes are such as I am not able to do the business of my Office as I used, and would desire to do, while I am in it. 31st.

This day Mrs. Batelier did give my wife a mighty pretty Spaniel [Flora], which she values mightily, and is pretty ; but, as a new comer, I cannot be fond of her. September 1st. To Bartholomew Fair, and there saw several sights ; among others, the mare that tells money,' and many things to admiration ; and, among others, come to me, when she was bid to go to him of the company, that most loved a pretty wench in a corner. And this did cost me 12d. to the horse, which I had flung him before, and did give me occasion to kiss a mighty belle fille that was exceeding plain, hnt fort belle. 2d.

I now give 24s. for, at the second hand, and is sold for 30s., it being a book the Bishops will not let be printed again. 4th. At the Office all the morning; and at noon my wife, and Deb., and Mercer, and W. Hewer and I to the Pair, and there, at the old house, did eat a pig, and was pretty merry, but saw no sights, my wife having a mind to see the play "Bartholomew-Fair," with puppets. And it is an excellent play; the more I see it, the more I love the wit of it; only the business of abusing the Puritans begins to grow stale, and of no use, they being the people that, at last, will be found the wisest. And here Knipp come to us, and sat with us, and thence took coach in two coaches, and losing one ' This is not the first learned horse of which we read.

And so set her at home, and away we home, where our com- pany come before us. This night Knipp tells us that there is a Spanish woman lately come over, that pretends to sing as well as Mrs. Knight ; both of whom I must endeavour to hear. 5th. To Mr. Hales's new house, where, I find, he hath finished my wife's hand, which is better than the other ; and here I find Harris's picture,^ done in his habit of " Henry the Fifth ;"^ mighty like a player, but I do not think the picture near so good as any yet he hath made for me : however, it is pretty well. 6th. (Lord's day.) Up betimes, and got myself ready to go by water, and about nine o'clock took boat with Henry Russell to Gravesend, coming thither about one, where, at the Ship, I dined; and thither come to me Mr. Hoiser, whom I went to speak with, about several businesses of work that he is doing, and I would have him do, of writing work, for me. And I did go with him to his lodging, and there did see his wife, a pretty tolerable woman, and do find him upon an extraordinary good work of designing a method of keeping our Storekeeper's Accounts, in the Navy. Here I should have met with Mr. Wilson, but he is sick, and could not come from Chatham to me. So, having done with Hosier, I took boat again the beginning of the flood, and come home by nine at night, with much pleasure, it being a fine day. Going down I spent reading of the "Five Sermons of Five Several Styles," ^ worth comparing one with » See ante, 22d July, 1663. ' In Lord Orrery's play.

My boy was with me, and read to me all day, and we sang a while together, and so home to supper a little, and so to bed. 7th. With my Lord Brouncker (who was this day in an unusual manner merry, I believe with drink), J. Minnes, and W. Pen to Bartholomew-Fair ; and there saw the dancing mare again, which, to-day, I find to act much worse than the other day, she forgetting many things, which her master beat her for, and was mightily vexed ; and then the dancing of the ropes, and also the little stage-play, which is very ridicu- lous. 8th. Up ; and by water to White Hall, and to St. James's, there to talk a little with Mr. Wren about the private business we are upon, in the Office, where he tells me he finds that they all suspect me to be the author of the great letter,' which I value not, being satisfied that it is the best thing I could ever do for myself ; and so, after some discourse of this kind more, I back to the Office, and there all the morning ; and after dinner to it again, all the afternoon, and very late, and then home to supper, where met W. Batelier and Bettj Turner, and, after some talk with them, and supper, we te bed. This day, I received so earnest an invitation again from Roger Pepys, to come to Sturbridge-Fair [at Cambridge], that I resolved to let my wife go, which she shall do the next week. 9th. To the Duke of Richmond's lodgings by his desire, by letter, yesterday. I find him at his lodgings in the little building in the bowling-green, at White Hall, that was begun ferenoe between the University and City breeding up of preaoliers, and to let tlie people know that any one that hath been bred a scholar is able to preach any way to the capacity and content of an auditory.

I did hope to see his lady ; but she, I hear, is in the country. His business was about his yacht, and he seems a mighty good natured man, and did presently write me a warrant for a doe from Cobham, when the season comes, buck season being past. I shall make much of this acquaintance, that I may live to see his lady near. Thence to Westminster, to Sir R. Long's Office :* and, going, met Mr. George Montagu, who talked and complimented me mightily ; and long discourse I had with him, who, for news, tells me for certain that Trevor do come to be Secretary at Michaelmas, and that Morrice goes out, and he believes, without any compensation. He tells me that now Buckingham do rule all ; and the other day, in the King's journey he is now on, at Bagshot, and that way, he caused Prince Rupert's horses to be turned out of an inne, and caused his own to be kept there, which the Prince complained of to the King, and the Duke of York seconded the complaint ; but the King did over-rule it for Buckingham, by which there are high displeasures among them; and Buckingham and Arlington rule all. To White Hall, where Brouncker, W. Pen, and I attended the Commissioners of the Treasury about the victualling-contract, where high words between Sir Thomas Clifford and us, and myself more par- ticularly, who told him that something, that he said was told him about this business, was a flat untruth. However, we went on to our business in the examination of the draught, and so parted, and I vexed at what happened. 10th. There dined with me Batelier and his wife, and Mercer, and my people, at a good venison-pasty ; and after dinner I and W.

So landed them, it being fine moonshine, at the Bear,' and so took water to the other side, and home. 12th. To the Office, where till noon, and I did see great whispering among my brethren about their replies to the Duke of York, which vexed me, though I know no occasion for it ; for I have no manner of ground to fear them. At noon home to dinner, and, after dinner, to work all the after- noon again. At home late, and so to bed. 13th. (Lord's day.) By coach to St. James's, and met, to my wish, the Duke of York and Mr. Wren ; and understand the Duke of York hath received answers from Brouncker, W. Pen, and J. Minnes ; and as soon as he saw me, he bid Mr. Wren read them over with me. So having no opportunity of talk with the Duke of York, and Mr. Wren some business to do, he put them into my hands like an idle companion, to take home with me before himself had read them, which do give me great opportunity of altering my answer, if there was cause. After supper, made my wife to read them all over, wherein she is mighty useful to me; and I find them all evasions, and in many things false, and in few, to the fuU purpose. Little said reflective on me, though W. Pen and J. Minnes do mean me in one or two places, and J. Minnes a little more plainly would lead the Duke of York to question the exactness of my keeping my records ; but all to no pur- pose. My mind is mightily pleased by this, if I can but get time to have a copy taken of them, for my future use ; but I must return them to-morrow. So to bed. 14th. Up betimes, and walked to the Temple, and stopped, viewing the Exchange, and Paul's and St. Fayth's, where strange how the very sight of the stones falling from the top ■ At the foot of London Bridge, pulled down, Dec. 1761 ; see 2lBt Sept, /wM. 1688.] SAMUEL PBPTS. £1 of the steeple do make me sea-sick ! But no hurt, I hear, hath yet happened in all this work of the steeple, which is very much. So from the Temple I by coach to St. James's, where I find Sir W. Pen and Lord Anglesey, who delivered this morning his answer to the Duke of York, but I could not see it. But after being above with the Duke of York, I down with Mr. Wren; and he and I read all over that I had, and I expounded them to him, and did so order it that I had them home with me, so that I shall, to my heart's wish, be able to take a copy of them. After dinner, I by water to White Hall ; and there, with the Cofferer' and Sir Stephen Fox, attended the Commissions of the Treasury, about bettering our fund ; and are promised it speedily. ' 15th. Up mighty betimes, my wife and people, Mercer lying here all night, by three o'clock, and I about five ; and they before, and I after them, to the coach in Bishopsgate Street, which was not ready to set out. So took wife and Mercer and Deb. and W. Hewer, who are all to set out this day for Cambridge, to cozen Roger Pepys's, to see Sturbridge Fayre ; and I showed them the Exchange, which is very finely carried on, with good dispatch. So walked back and saw them gone, there being only one man in the coach besides them ; and so home to the Office. To the King's playhouse, to see a new play, acted but yesterday, a translation out of French by Dryden, called " The Lady's k la Mode :" ^ so mean a thing as, when they came to say it would be acted again to-morrow, both he that said it, Beeson,^ and the pit fell a-laughing, there being this day not a quarter of the pit full. 16th.

A comedy, entitled " Love a la Mode," was brought out very soon after the Restoration, but it was anonymous. Pepys is believed to be the only authority for attributing the piece to Dryden, who possibly had a hand in it, but did not print the play, on account of its ill success. A comedy, named " Damoyselles a la Mode," and printed in 1667, 8vo, is mentioned by Langbaine, p. 56, as written by Bichard Flecknoe, and dedicated to the Duchess of New. castle ; but it does not appear to have ever been acted, though, in point of titla and date, it comes very near what is wanted.

No hurt, I hear, is done yet, since their going to pull down the Church and steeple; but one man, one Mound, this week fell from the top of the roof, of the east end, that stands next the steeple, and there broke himself all to pieces. It is pretty here to see how the late Church was but a case wrought over the old Church ; for you may see the very old pillars standing whole within the wall of this. "When I come to St. James's, I find the Duke of York gone with the King to see the muster of the Guards in Hyde Park ; and their Colonel, the Duke of Monmouth, to take his command this day of the King's Life-Guard, by surrender of my Lord Gerard. So I took a hackney-coach and saw it all : and indeed it was mighty noble, and their firing mighty fine, and the Duke of Monmouth in mighty rich clothes ; but the well-ordering of the men I understand not. Here, among a thousand coaches that were there, I savf and spoke to Mrs. Pierce : and by and by Mr. Wren hunts me out, and gives me my Lord Anglesey's answer to the Duke of York's letter, where, I perceive, he do do what he can to hurt me, by bidding the Duke of York call for my books : but this will do me all the right in the world, and yet I am troubled at it.

This done, he to write it over, and I to the Office, where late, and then home ; and he had finished it ; and then he to read to me the Life of Archbishop Laud,^ wrote by Dr. Heylin ; which is a shrewd book, but that which I believe will do the Bishops in general no great good, but hurt, it pleads for so much Popish. This day my father's letters tell me of the death of poor Fancy, in the country, big with puppies, which troubles me, as being one of my oldest ac- quaintances and servants. Also good Stankes is dead. 17th. At noon comes Knipp, with design to dine with Lord Brouncker, but she being undressed, and there being much company, dined with me ; and after dinner I out with her, and carried her to the playhouse ; and in the way did give her five guineas as a fairing, I having given her nothing a great while, and her coming hither sometimes having been matter of cost to her. So to the King's playhouse, and saw " RoUo, Duke of Normandy,"^ which, for old acquaintance, pleased me pretty well. This evening Batelier comes to tell me that he was going down to Cambridge to my company, to see the Fair, which vexed me, and the more because I fear he do know that Knipp did dine with me to-day.^ 18th. To St. James's, and there took a turn or two in the Park; and then up to the Duke of York, and there had opportunity of delivering my answer to his late letter, which he did not read, but give to Mr. Wren, as looking on it as a thing I needed not have done, but only that I might not give occasion to the rest to suspect my commu- nication with the Duke of York against them. So now I am at rest in that matter, and shall be more, when my copies are finished of their answers.

To my house, where D. Gauden did talk a little, and he do mightily acknowledge my kindness to him, and I know I have done the King and myself good service in it. This noon I went to my Lady Peterborough's house, and talked with her about the money due to her Lord, and it gives me great trouble, her importunity and imper- tinency about it.

He told me that there had been a seeming accommodation between the Duke of York and the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington, the two latter desiring it : but yet that there is not true agreement between them, but they do labour to bring in all new creatures into play, and the Duke of York do oppose it. Thence, he gone, I to the Queen's Chapel, and there heard some good singing ; and so to White Hall, and saw the King and Queen at dinner : and thence with Sir Stephen Fox to dinner ; and the Cofferer ^ with us ; and there mighty kind usage, and good discourse.

This night, in the Queen's drawing-room, my Lord Brouncker told me the difference that is now between the three Ambassadors here, the Vene- tian,^ French,* and Spaniard ;' the third not being willing to make a visit to the first, because he would not receive him at the door ; who is willing to give him as much respect as he did to the French, who was used no otherwise, and who refuses now to take more of him, upon being desired thereto, in order to the making an accommodation in this matter. 28th.

Thence to my Lord Burlington's house,' the first time I ever was there, it being the house built by Sir John Denham, next to Clarendon House ; and here I visited my Lord Hinchinbroke and his lady ; Mr. Sidney Montagu being last night come to town unexpectedly from Mount's Bay, where he left my Lord well, eight days since, so as we now hourly expect to hear of his arrival at Portsmouth. Sidney is mighty grown ; and I am glad I am here to see him at his first coming, though it cost me dear, for here I come to be necessitated to supply them with 500Z. for my Lord.^ He sent him up with a declaration to his friends, of the necessity of his being presently supplied with 2000Z. ; hut I do not think he will get lOOOZ. How- ever, I think it becomes my duty to my Lord to do some- thing extraordinary in this, and the rather because I have been remiss in writing to him during this voyage, more than ever I did in my life, and more indeed than was fit for me. By and by comes Sir W. Godolphin to see Mr. Sidney, who, I perceive, is much dissatisfied that he should come to town last night, and not yet be with my Lord Arlington, who, and all the town, hear of his being come, and he did, it seems, take notice of it to Godolphin this morning ; so that I per- ceive this remissness in afiairs do continue in my Lord's managements still, which I am sorry for ; but, above all, to see in what a condition my Lord is for money, that I dare swear he do not know where to take up 500?. of any man in England at this time, upon his word, but of myself, as I believe by the sequel hereof it will appear.

So I to White Hall, and there all the evening on the Queen's side ; and it being a most summer-like day, and a fine warm evening, the Italians came in a barge under the leads, before the Queen's drawing-room ; and so the Queen and ladies went out, and heard them, for almost an hour ; and the singing was indeed very good together ; but yet there was but one voice that alone did appear consider- able, and that was Signer Joanni.'' This done, by and by they went in ; and here I saw Mr. Sidney Montagu kiss the Queen's hand, who was mighty kind to him, and the ladies looked mightily on him ; and the King came by and by, and did talk to him. So I away by coach with Alderman Backe- well home, who is mightily kind to me, more than ordinary, in his expressions. But I do hear this day what troubles me, that Sir W. Coventry is quite out of play, the King seldom speaking to him; and that there is a design of making a oame to the Cavendish family by the marriage of William, fourth Duke of Devonshire, with Lady Charlotte Boyle, heiress of Richard, last Earl of Burlington and Cork.

I oifered him my service, though I can do him little ; but he sends his man home with me, where I made him stay, till I had gone to Sir W. Pen, to bespeak him about Mr. Hater, who, contrary to my fears, did appear very friendly, to my great content ; for I was afraid of his appearing for his man Burroughs. But he did not ; but did declare to me after- wards his intentions to desire an excuse in his own business, to be eased of the business of Comptroller, his health not giving him power to stay always in town, but he must go into the country. Home, where I find Sir H. Cholmly come to town ; and is come hither to see me : and he is a man that I love mightily, as being, of a gentleman, the most industrious that ever I saw. He staid with me awhile talking, and telling me his obligations to my Lord Sandwich, which I was glad of; and that the Duke of Buckingham is now chief of all men in this kingdom, which I knew before ; and that he do think the Parliament will hardly ever meet again ; which is a great many men's thoughts, and I shall not be sorry for it.

God bless us out of it ! 24th. This morning comes to me the coachmaker,' and agreed with me for 53?., and to stand to the courtesy of what more I should give him upon the finishing of the coach •? he is likely, also to fit me with a coachman. Lord Brouncker tells me that the making Sir J. Minnes a bare Commissioner ^ is now in doing, which I am glad of; but he speaks of twc new Commissioners, which I do not believe. 25th. (Lord's day.) Up, and discoursing with my wife about our house, and many new things we are doing of, and so to church I, and there find Jack Fenn come, and his wife, a pretty black woman: I never saw her before, nor took notice of her now. At night, W. Batelier comes and sups with us; and, after supper, to have my head combed by Deb. 26th. I was obliged to attend the Duke of York, thinking to have had a meeting of Tangier to-day, but had not ; but he did take me and Mr. Wren into his closet, and there did press me to prepare what I had to say upon the answers of my fellow-oflScers to his great letter, which I promised to do against his coming to town again, the next week : and so to other discourse, finding plainly that he is in trouble, and apprehensions of the Reformers, and would be found to do what he can towards reforming, himself. And so thence to my Lord Sandwich's, where, after long stay he being in talk with others privately, I to him ; and there he, taking physic ' See 2Pth Oct., anlt. ' See 29th Hot., pott.

He tells me that he thinks his matters do stand well with the King, and hopes to have dispatch to his mind ; but I doubt it, and do see that he do fear it, too. He told me of my Lady Carteret's trouble about my writing of that letter of the Duke of York's lately to the Office, which I did not own, but declared to be of no injury to Sir Gr. Carteret, and that I would write a letter to him to satisfy him therein. But this I am in pain how to do, without doing myself wrong, and the end I had, of preparing a justification to myself here- after, when the faults of the Navy come to be found out : however, I will do it in the best manner I can. 27th. This evening Mr. Spong come, and sat late with me, and first told me of the instrument called a parallelogram,' which I must have one of, shewing me his practice thereon, by a map of England. 28th. By coach with Mr. Gibson to Chancery Lane, and there made oath before a Master in Chancery to the Tangier account of fees,' and so to White Hall, where, by and by, a Committee met, my Lord Sandwich there, but his report was not received, it being late ; but only a little business done, about the supplying the place with victuals. But I did get, with great content, my account allowed of fees, with great applause by my Lord Ashly and Sir W. Pen. Thence home, calling at one or two places ; and there about our workmen, who are at work upon my wife's closet, and other parts of my house, that we are all in dirt. 29th. Mr. Wren first tells us of the order from the King, come last night to the Duke of York, for signifying his plea- sure to the SoUcitor-General for drawing up a Commission for suspending of my Lord Anglesey,^ and putting in Sir ' Now generally called pentagraph. It is a very useful inatrumeot, by meani of which persons haying no skill in drawing may copy designs, prints, Ac, in any proportion. ' See, in Memoirs relating to the Navy, 8to, 1729, two warrants of 18th Oct., 1668, and 20th Oct., 1668, addressed by the Duke of York to Sir Heneage Finch, the Soliotor-General. The former directs him to prepare a warrant for his bus- 42 DIARY OF .

The Duke of York was forced to obey, and did grant it, he being to go to Newmarket this day with the King, and so the King pressed for it. But Mr. Wren do own that the Duke of York is the most wounded in this, in the world, for it is done and concluded without his privity, after his appearing for Lord Anglesey, and that it is plain that they do ayme to bring the Admiralty into Commission too, and lessen the Duke of York. This do put strange apprehensions into all our Board ; only I think I am the least troubled at it, for I care not at all for it : but my Lord Brouncker and Pen do seem to think much of it. 30th. Up betimes ; and Mr. Povy comes to even accounts with me, which we did, and then fell to other talk. He tells me, in short, how the King is made a child of, by Bucking- ham and Arlington, to the lessening of the Duke of York, whom they cannot suffer to be great, for fear of my Lord Chancellor's return, which, therefore, they make the King violent against. That he believes it is impossible these two great men can hold together long : or, at least, that the ambi- tion of the former is so great, that he will endeavour to master all, and bring into play as many as he can. That Anglesey will not lose his place easily, but will contend in law with whoever comes to execute it. That the Duke of York, in all things, but in his amours, is led by the nose by his wife. That Sir W. Coventry is now, by the Duke of York, made friends with the Duchess ; and that he is often there, and waits on her. That he do believe that these present great men will break in time, and that Sir W. Coventry will be a great man again ; for he do labour to have nothing to do in matters of the State, and is so useful to the side that he is peosiOD, and the second to prepare a Bill for the royal signature, constituting and appointing Sir Thomas Osborne and Sir Thomas Lyttelton to the ofBce of Treasurer of the Navy, hitherto filled by Lord Anglesey. ' Eldest son of Sir Edward Osborne, Bart.; made a Privy-Councillor 1672, and the following year constituted Lord High Treasurer, and elected K.G. in 1677. He was created Baron Osborne, of Kiveton, and Viscount Latimer, of Danby, 1673; Earl of Danby, 1674; Viscount Dumblaine, in Scotland, in 1675; Marquis of Caermarthen, 1689; and Duke of Leeds, 1694.

That my Lady Castlemaine hates the Duke of Buck- ingham. That the Duke of York hath expressed himself very kind to my Lord Sandwich, which I am mighty glad of. That we are to expect more changes if these men stand. This done, he and I to talk of my coach, and I got him to go see it, where he finds most infinite fault with it, both as to being out of fashion and heavy, with so good reason that I am mightily glad of his having corrected me in it ; and so I do resolve to have one of his build, and with his advice, both in coach and horses, he being the fittest man in the world for it. 31st. This day my Lord Anglesey was at the Office, and do seem to make nothing of this business of his suspension, resolving to bring it into the Council, where he seems not to doubt to have a right, he standing upon his defence and patent, and hath put in his caveats to the several Offices : so, as soon as the King comes back,' which will be on Tuesday next, he will bring it into the Council. This day Roger Pepys and his son Talbot, newly come to town, come and dined with me, and mighty glad I am to see them. November Ist. (Lord's day.) This noon Mr. Povy sent his coach for my wife and I to see, which we like mightily, and will endeavour to have him get us just such another. 2d. Up, and a cold morning, by water through bridge without a cloak, and there to Mr. Wren at his chamber at White Hall, the first time of his coming thither this year, the Duchess coming thither to-night.

I was glad to see it ; but sorry, meth ought, to see my Lord have so little reason to be merry, and yet glad, for his sake, to have him cheerful.

To White Hall ; and there I find the King and Duke of York came the last night, and every body's mouth full of my Lord Anglesey's suspension being sealed, which it was, it seems, yesterday ; so that he is prevented in his remedy at the Council ; and, it seems, the two new Treasurers^ did kiss the King's hand this morning, brought in by my Lord Arling- ton. They walked up and down together in the Court this day, and several people joyed them ; but I avoided it, that I might not be seen to look either way. This day also I hear that my Lord Ormond is to be declared in Council no more Deputy Governor of Ireland, his commission being expired : and the King is prevailed with to take it out of his hands ; which people do mightily admire, saying that he is the greatest subject of any prince in Christendome, and hath more acres of land than any, and hath done more for his Prince than ever any yet did. But all will not do ; he must down, it seems, the Duke of Buckingham carrying all before him. But that, that troubles me most is, that they begin to talk that the Duke of York's regiment is ordered to be disbanded; and more, that undoubtedly his Admiralty will follow ; which do shake me mightily, and I fear will have ill consequences in the nation, for these counsels are very mad. The Duke of York do, by all men's report, carry himself wonderfull sub- missive to the King, in the most humble manner in the world ; but yet, it seems nothing, must be spard that tends to the ' Mr. Povy lived in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Pepya no doubt went to Long Acre, then, as now, celebrated for its coachmakers.

The great discourse now is, that the Parliament shall be dis- solved and another called, which shall give the King the Dean and Chapter lands; and that will put him out of debt. And it is said that Buckingham do knowingly meet daily with Wildman and other Commonwealth-men ; and that when he is with them, he makes the King believe that he is with hia wenches; and something looks like the Parliament's being dissolved, by Harry Brouncker's being now come back, and appearing this day the first time at White Hall ; but he hath not been yet with the King, but is secure that he shall be well received, I hear. God bless us, when such men as he shall be restored ! But that, that pleases me most is, that several do tell me that Pen is to be removed ; and others, that he hath resigned his place ; and particularly Spragg tells me for certain that he hath resigned it, and is become a partner with Gauden in the Victualling : in which I think he hath done a very cunning thing ; but I am sure I am glad of it ; and it will be well for the King to have him out of this Office. Sir John Talbot ' talks mighty high for my Lord of Ormond : and I perceive this family of the Talbots hath been raised by my Lord. This evening, my wife and I, talking of our being put out of the Office, and my going to live at Deptford at her brother's, till I can clear accounts, and rid my hands of the town, which will take me a year or more, and I do think it will be best for me to do so, in order to our living cheap, and out of sight. 5th. The Duke of York did call me and Mr. Wren ; and my paper, that I have lately taken pains to draw up, was read, and the Duke of York pleased therewith ; and we did all along conclude upon answers to my mind for the -Board, and that which, if put in execution, will do the King's busi- ness. But I do now more and more perceive th« Duke of York's trouble, and that he do lie under great weight of mind from the Duke of Buckingham's carrying things against him ; and particularly when I advised that he would use his interest that a seaman might come into the room of Sir W. Pen, who ' See 17th January, 1667-8, ante. Vol. IV. — 5 d 46 DIARY OF [5th No». is now declared to be gone from us to that of the Victualling, and did show how the Office would now be left without one seaman in it, but the Surveyor and the Comptroller, who is so old as to be able to do nothing, he told me plainly that I knew his mind well enough as to seamen, but that it must be as others will. And Wren did tell it me as a secret, that when the Duke of York did first tell the King about Sir W. Pen's leaving of the place, and did move the King that either Captain Cox or Sir Jer. Smith might succeed him, the King did tell him that was a matter fit to be considered of, and would not agree to either presently ; and so the Duke of York could not prevail for either, nor knows who it shall be. The Duke did tell me himself, that if he had not carried it privately when first he mentioned Pen's leaving his place to the King, it had not been done ; for the Duke of Buckingham and those of his party do cry out upon it, as a strange thing to trust such a thing into the hands of one that stands accused in Parliament : and that they have so far prevailed upon the King that he would not have him named in the Council, but only take his name to the Board ; but I think he said that only D. Gauden's name shall go in the patent ; at least, at the time when Sir Richard Browne' asked the King the names of D. Gauden's security, the King told him it was not yet necessary for him to declare them. And by and by, when the Duke of York and we had done. Wren brought into the closet Captain Cox and James Temple about business of the Guiney Company; and talking something of the Duke of Buckingham's concernment therein, says the Duke of York, "I shall give the Devil his due, as they say the Duke of Buckingham hath paid in his money to the Company," or something of that kind, wherein he would do right to him. The Duke of York told me how these people do begin to cast dirt upon the business that passed the Council lately, touching Supernumeraries, as passed by virtue of his authority there, there being not liberty for any man to withstand what the Duke of York advises there; which, he told me, they bring only as an argument to insinuate the putting of the * As Clerk of the Oounoil. Ifi68.] SAMUEL PEPTt 47 A dmiralty into Commission, which by all men's discourse is now designed, and I perceive the same by him. This being done, and going from him, I up and down the house to hear news : and there every body's mouth full of changes ; and, among others, the Duke of York's regiment of Guards, that was raised during the late war at sea, is to be disbanded : and also, that this day the King do intend to declare that the Duke of Ormond is no more Deputy of Ireland, but that he will put it into Commission. This day our new Treasurers did kiss the King's hand, who complimented them, as they say, very highly, — that he had for a long time been abused in his Treasurer, and that he was now safe in their hands. I saw them walk up and down the Court together all this morning ; the first time I ever saw Osborne, who is a comely gentleman. This day I was told that my Lord Anglesey did deliver a petition on Wednesday in Council to the King, laying open, that whereas he had heard that his Majesty had made such a disposal of his place, which he had formerly granted him for life upon a valuable consideration, and that, without any thing laid to his charge, and during a Parliament's sessions, he prayed that his Majesty would be pleased to let his case be heard before the Council and the Judges of the land, who were his proper counsel in ail matters of right : to which, I am told, the King, after my Lord's being witndrawn, concluded upon his giving him an answer some few days hence ; and so he was called in, and told so. At the Treasurer's, Sir Thomas Clifford, where I did eat some oysters ; which while we were at, in comes my Lord Keeper ' and much company ; and so I thought it best to withdraw. And so away, and to the Swedes Agent's,^ and there met Mr. Povy ; where the Agent would have me stay and dine, there being only them, and Joseph Williamson, and Sir Thomas Clayton f but what he is I know not.

To see Roger Pepys at his lodgings, next door to Arundell House, a barber's; and there I did see a book, which my Lord Sandwich hath promised one to me of, " A Description of the Escuriall in Spain ;" ' which I have a great desire to have, though I took it for a finer book when he promised it me. 7th. This afternoon I did go out towards Sir D. Gauden's, thinking to have bespoke a place for my coach and horses, when I have them, at the Victualling OiSee ; but find the way so bad and long that I returned, and looked up and down for places elsewhere, in an inne, which I hope to get with more convenienee than there. 8th.

It is in folio, and has eome plates ; but Pepys might well express his disappointment, for the appear- ance of the volume does not answer to the magnificence of the subject. About the time when Pepys wrote, or soon after, the Escurlal received some damage by fire, and was even said to be totally destroyed j and in that belief, an abstract of Father Francisco's work was published in 1671, purporting to be "translated into English by a servant of the Earl of Sandwich." That a great amount of damage was really done, is proved by the title of the third edition of the work, printed in Madrid in 1681, which says that the Escurial was rebuilt, after the fire, by Oharlei II. ; and Santos, then alive, asserts the same, in his dedication to that Kingi comparing him to the restorers of Solomon's Temple. I«a8.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 49 with him this morning, to ask whether it would be fit for him to sit ut the Office nowj because of his resolution to be gone, and to become concerned in the Victualling. The Duke of York answered, " Yes, till his contract was signed." Thence I to Lord Sandwich's, and there to see him ; but was made to stay very long, as his best friends are, and when I came to him had little pleasure, his head being full of his own business, I think. Thence To White Hall with him, to a Committee of Tangier ; a day appointed for him to give an account of Tangier, and what he did, and found there, which, though he had admirable matter for it, and his doings there were good, and would have afforded a noble account, yet he did it with a mind so low and mean, and delivered in so poor a manner, that it appeared nothing at all, nor any body seemed to value it ; whereas, he might have shown himself to have merited extraordinary thanks, and been held to have done a very great service : whereas now, all that cost, the King hath been at for his journey through Spain thither, seems to be almost lost. After we were up. Creed and I walked together, and did talk a good while of the weak Report my Lord made, and were troubled for it ; I fearing that either his mind and judgment are depressed, or that he do it out of his great neglect, and so that he do all the rest of his affairs accordingly. I staid about the Court a little while, and then to look for a dinner, and had it at Hercules- Pillars, very late, all alone, costing me lOd. 11th. To the Office, where, by a speciall desire, the new Treasurers came, and there did show their Patent, and the Great Seal for the suspension of my Lord Anglesey : and here did sit and discourse of the business of the Office : and brought Mr. Hutchinson with them, who, I hear, is to be their Pay- master, in the room of Mr.Waith. For it seems they do turn out every servant that belongs to the present Treasurer ; and so for Fenn, do bring in Mr. Littleton, Sir Thomas's brother, and oust all the rest. But Mr. Hutchinson do already see that his work now will be another kind of thing than before, as to the trouble of it.

So to bed. 13th. Up, and with Sir W. Pen by coach to White Hall, where to the Duke of York, and there did our usual business ; and thence I to the Commissioners of the Treasury, where I staid, and heard an excellent case argued between my Lord Gerard and the Town of Newcastle, about a piece of ground which that Lord hath got a grant of, under the Exchequer Seal, which they were endeavouring to get of the King, under the Great Seal. I liked mightily the Counsel for the town, Shafto,^ their Recorder, and Mr. Offly.^ But I was troubled, and so were the Lords,^ to hear my Lord fly out against their* great pretence of merit from the King, for their sufferings and loyalty; telling them that they might thank him for that re- pute which they have for their loyalty, for that it was he that forced them to be so, against their wills, when he was there: and, moreover, did offer a paper to the Lords to read from the Town, sent in 1648 ; but the Lords would not read it ; but I believe it was something about bringing the King to trial, or some such thing, in that year.

And thence to White Hall, and there staid in Mr. Wren's chamber •with him, reading over my draught of a letter, which Mr. Gibson then attended me with ; and there he did like all, but doubted whether it would be necessary for the Duke to write in so sharp a style to the Office, as I had drawn it in ; which I yield to him, to consider the present posture of the times and the Duke of York, and whether it were not better to err on that hand than the other. He told me that he did not think it was necessary for the Duke of York to do so, and that it would not suit so well with his nature nor greatness ; which last, perhaps, is true, but then do too truly show the effects of having Princes in places, where order and discipline should be. I left it to him to do as the Duke of York pleases ; and so fell to other talk, and with great freedom, of public things ; and he told me, upon my several inquiries to that purpose, that he did believe it was not yet resolved whether the Par- liament should ever meet more or no, the three great rulers of things now standing thus : — The Duke of Buckingham is absolutely against their meeting, as moved thereto by his people that he advises with, the people of the late times, who do never expect to have any thing done by this Parliament for their religion, and who do propose that, by the sale of the Church-lands, they shall be able to put the King out of debt : my Lord Keeper is utterly against putting away this and choosing another Parliament, lest they prove worse than this, and will make all the King's friends, and the King himself, in a desperate condition : my Lord Arlington knows not which is best for him, being to seek whether this or the next will use him worst. He tells me that he believes that it is in- tended to call this Parliament, and try them for a sum of money ; and, if they do not like it, then to send them going, and call another, who will, at the ruin of the Church perhaps, please the King with what he will have for a time. And he tells me, therefore, that he do believe that this policy will be endeavoured by the Church and their friends — to seem to pro- mise the King money, when it shall be propounded, but make the King and these great men buy it dear, before they have 52 DIARTOP [15th Not. it. He tells me that he is really persuaded that the design of the Duke of Buckingham is, by bringing the state into such a condition as, if the King do die without issue, it shall, upon his death, break into pieces again ; and so put by the Duke of York, whom they have disobliged, they know, to that degree, as to despair of his pardon. He tells me that there is no way to rule the King but by brisknesse, which the Duke of Buckingham hath above all men ; and that the Duke of York having it not, his best way is what he practises, that is to say, a good temper, which will support him till the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Arlington fall out, which cannot be long first, the former knowing that the latter did, in the time of the Chancellor, endeavour with the Chancellor to hang him at that time, when he was proclaimed against. And here, by the by, he told me that the Duke of Buckingham did, by hia friends, treat with my Lord Chancellor, by the mediation of Matt. Wren and Clifford, to fall in with my Lord Chancellor ; which, he tells me, he did advise my Lord Chancellor to accept of, as that, that with his own interest and the Duke of York's, would undoubtedly have secured all to him and his family; but that my Lord Chancellor was a man not to be advised, thinking himself too high to be counselled : and so all is come to nothing ; for by that means the Duke of Buckingham became desperate, and was forced to fall in with Arlington, to the Chancellor's ruin. This morning, at the Treasury- chamber, I did meet Jack Fenn, and there he did show me my Lord Anglesey's petition and the King's answer : the former good and stout, as I before did hear it : but the latter short and weak, saying that he was not, by what the King had done, hindered from taking the benefit of the law, and that the reason he had to suspect his mismanagement of his money in Ireland, did make him think it unfit to trust him with his Treasury in England, till he was satisfied in the former. 14th.

From this to other discourse ; and do find that the Duke of York and his master, Mr. Wren, do look upon this service of mine as a very seasonable service to the Duke, as that which he will have to show to his enemies in his own justification, of his care of the King's business ; and- 1 am sure I am heartily glad of it, both for the King's sake and the Duke of York's, and my own also ; for, if I continue here, my work, by this means, will be the less, and my share in the blame also. 21st. At the Office all the morning; and after dinner abroad with W. Hewer to my Lord Ashley's, where my Lord Barkely, and Sir Thomas Ingram ' met upon Mr. Povy's account, where I was in great pain about that part of his account wherein I am concerned, above 150L, I think ; and Creed hath declared himself dissatisfied with it, so far as to desire to cut his "Examinatur" out of the paper, as the only condition in which he would be silent in it. This Povy had the wit to yield to ; and so when it come to be inquired into, I did avouch the truth of the account as to that parti- cular, of my own knowledge, and so it went over as a thing good and just — as, indeed, in the bottom of it, it is ; though in strictness, perhaps, it would not so well be understood. The Committee rising, I, with my mind much satisfied therein, away by coach home, setting Creed in Southampton Buildings, and so home ; and there ended my letters, and then home to my wife, where I find my house clean now, from top to bottom, so as I have not seen it many a day, and to the full satisfaction of my mind, that I am now at peace, as to my poor wife, as to the dirtiness of my house, and as to seeing an end, in a great measure, to my present great disbursements upon my house, and coach and horses. 22d. (Lord's day.) My wife and I lay long, with mighty content ; and so rose, and she spent the whole day making herself clean, after four or five weeks being in continual dirt ; and I knocking up nails, and making little settlements in my house, tiU noon, and then eat a bit of meat in the kitchen, I all alone. And so to the Office, to set down my journal, for ' See 9th January, 1664-5, ante. 1»68.] SAMUEL PEPYS. 55 some days, leaving it imperfect, the natter being mighty grievous to me, and my mind, from the nature of it ; and so in, to solace myself with my wife, whom I got to read to me, and so W. Hewer and the boy ; and so, after supper to bed. This day my boy's livery is come home, the first I ever had, of greene, lined with red ; and it likes me well enough. 23d. Up, and called upon by W. Howe, who went, with W. Hewer and me, by water, to the Temple ; his business was to have my advice about a place he is going to buy — the Clerk of the Patent's place, which I understand not, and so could say little to him. To visit my Lord Sandwich, who is now so reserved, or moped rather, I think, with his own business, that he bids welcome to no man, I think, to his satisfaction. I bear with it, being willing to give him as little trouble as I can, and to receive as little from him, wishing only that I had my money in my purse, that I have lent him ; but, however, I shew no discontent at all. I met with Mr. Povy, who tells me that this discourse which I told him of, of the Duke of Monmouth being made Prince of Wales, hath nothing in it ; though he thinks there are all the endea- vours used in the world to overthrow the Duke of York. He would not have me doubt of my safety in the Navy, which I am doubtful of from the reports of a general removal ; but he will endeavour to inform me, what he can gather from my Lord Arlington. That he do think that the Duke of Buck- ingham hath a mind rather to overthrow all the kingdom, and bring in a Commonwealth, wherein he may think to be General of their Army, or to make himself King, which, he believes, he may be led to, by some advice which he hath had with conjurors, which he do affect. I took my wife and boy to Hercules Pillars, and there dined, and thence to our uphol- sterer's, about some things more to buy, and so to see our coach, and so to the looking-glass man's, by the New Exchange, and so to buy a picture for our blue chamber chimney, and 80 home ; and there I made my boy to read to me most of the night, to get through the Life of the Archbishop of Can- terbury.' At supper comes Mary Batelier, and with us aU ~ ' Land : see ante, 16th Sept., 1668. 56 DIARY OF [25th Not. the evening, prettily talking, and very innocent company she is ; and she gone, we with much content to hed, and to sleep, with mighty rest all night. 24th. Up, and at the Office all the morning, and at noon home to dinner, where Mr. Gentleman, the cook, and an old woman, his third or fourth wife, come and dined with us, to enquire about a ticket of his son's, that is dead ; and after dinner, I with Mr. Hosier to my closet, to discourse of the business of balancing Storekeeper's accounts, which he hath taken great pains in reducing to a method, to my great satis- faction ; and I shall be glad for both the King's sake and his, that the thing may be put in practice, and will do my part to promote it. That done, he gone, I to the Office, where busy till night ; and then with comfort to sit with my wife, and get her to read to me, and so to supper, and to bed, with my mind at mighty ease. 25th. By coach to see Sir W. Coventry ; but he gone out, I to White Hall, and there waited on Lord Sandwich, which I have little encouragement to do, because of the difficulty of seeing him, and the little he hath to say to me when I do see him, or to any body else, but his own idle people about him, Sir Charles Harbord, &c. Thence walked with him to White Hall, where to the Duke of York ; and there the Duke, and Wren, and I, by appointment in his closet, to read over our letter to the Office, which he heard, and signed it, and it is to my mind, Mr. Wren having made it somewhat sweeter to the Board, and yet with all the advice fully, that I did draw it up with. The Duke said little more to us now, his head being full of other business ; but I do see that he do continue to put a value upon my advice ; and so Mr. Wren and I to his chamber, and there talked : and he seems to hope that these people, the Duke of Buckingham and Arlington, will run themselves off their legs ; they being forced to be always putting the King upon one idle thing or another, against the easiness of his nature, which he will never be able to bear, nor they to keep him to, and so will lose themselves. And, for instance of their little progress, he tells me that my Lord of Ormond is like yet to carry it, and to continue in his command in L:eland ; at least, they cannot get the better of 1«68.] SAMUEL PBPTS. 57 him yet. But he tells me that the Keeper ' is wrought upon, as they say, to give his opinion for the dissolving of the Par- liament, which, he thinks, will undo him in the eyes of the people. He do not seem to own the hearing or fearing of iny thing to he done in the Admiralty, to the lessening of the Duke of York, though he hears how the town-talk is full of it. Thence 1 by coach home, and there find my cozen Roger come to dine with me, and to seal his mortgage for the 500Z. I lend him ; but he and I first walked to the 'Change, there to look for my uncle Wight, and get him to dinner with us. So home,- buying a barrel of oysters at my old oyster-woman's, in Gracious Street, but over the way to where she kept her shop before. Merry at dinner ; and the money not being ready, I carried Roger Pepys to Holborn Conduit,^ and there left him going to Stradwick's,^ whom we avoided to see, because of our long absence, and my wife and I to the Duke of York's house, to see " The Duchesse of Malfy," a sorry play, and sat with little pleasure. This evening, to my great content, I got Sir Richard Ford to give me leave to set my coach in his yard. 26th. At the Office all the morning, where I was to have delivered the Duke of York's letter of advice to the Board, in answer to our several answers to his great letter ; but Lord Brouncker not being there, and doubtful to deliver it before the new Treasurer, I forbore it till the next sitting. So home at noon to dinner, where I find Mr. Pierce and his wife : but I was forced to shew very little pleasure in her being there because of my vow to my wife ; and, therefore, was glad of a very bad occasion for my being really troubled, which is, at W. Hewer's losing of a tally of lOOOZ., which I sent him this day to receive of the Commissioners of Excise. 27th. Up ; and with W. Hewer to see Sir W.

Thence to White Hall, and there at our usual waiting on the Duke of York ; and that being done, I away to the Exchequer, to give a stop, and take some advice about my lost tally, wherein I shall have some remedy, with trouble. Comes Mr. Povy, by appointment, to dine with me ; and much pleasant dis- course with him, and some serious ; and he tells me that he would, by all means, have me get to be a Parliament-man, the next Parliament. By and by comes my cozen Roger, and dines with us; and, after dinner, did seal his mortgage, wherein I do wholly rely on his honesty, not having so much as read over what he hath given me for it, nor minded it, but do trust to his integrity therein. 28th. All the morning at the Office, where, while I was sitting, one comes and tells me that my coach is come. So I was forced to go out, and to Sir Richard Ford's, where I spoke to him, and he is very willing to have it brought in, and stand there, and so I ordered it, to my great content, it being mighty pretty, only the horses do not please me, and, therefore, resolve to have better. This day I presen/ted to the Board the Duke of York's letter,' which, 1 perceive, troubled Sir W. Pen, he declaring himself meant in that part, that concerned excuse by sickness; but I do not care, but am mightily glad that it is done, and now I shall begin to be at pretty good ease in the Office. This morning, to my great content, W. Hewer tells me that a porter is come, who found my tally in Holborn, and brings it him, for which he gives him 20s. 29th. (Lord's day.) My wife lately frighted me about her being a Catholique ; and I dare not, therefore, move her to go to church, for fear she should deny me ; but this morning, of her own accord, she spoke of going to church the next Sunday, which pleases me mightily. This morning my coachman's clothes come home ; and I like the livery mightily. All the morning in my chamber, and dined with my wife, and got her to read to me in the afternoon, till Sir W. Warren, by appointment, comes to me, who spent two hours, or three, ' Bated, White Hall, 25th Nov., 1668. See a copy of it in Harl.

He tells me, as soon as he saw my coach yesterday, he wished that the owner might not con- tract envy by it f but I told him it was now manifestly for my profit to keep a coach, and that, after employments like mine for eight years, it were hard if I could not be thought to be justl}' able to do that. To supper ; and to read, and made an end of the Life of Archbishop Laud, which is worth reading, as informing a man plainly in the posture of the Church, and how the things of it were managed with the same self-interest and design that every other thing is, and have succeeded accordingly. 30th. With "W. Hewer to White Hall, to a Committee of Tangier, where the business of Mr. Lanyon took up all the morning ; and, poor man ! he did manage his business with so much folly, and ill fortune to boot, that the Board, before his coming in, inclining, of their own accord, to lay his cause aside,. and leave it to the law, he pressed that we would hear it, and it ended to the making him appear a very knave, as well as it did to me, a fool also, which I was sorry for. * Probably for timber. ^ Though our Journalist prided himself not a little upon becoming possessed of a carriage, the acquisition was regarded with envy and jealousy by his ene- mies, as will appear by the following extract from the scurrilous Pamphlet noticed in the Life, in which Pepys and Hewer are severely bandied. " There is one thing more you must be mightily sorry for with all speed. Tour pre- sumption in your coach, in which you daily ride, as if you had been son and heir to the great Emperor Neptune, or as if you had been infallibly to have suc- ceeded him in his government of the Ocean, all which was presumption in the highest degree. First, you had upon the fore part of your chariot, tempestuous wavfti and wrecks of ships ; on your left hand, forts and great guns, and shipa a fighting; on your right hand was a fair harbour and galleys riding, with their flags and pennants spread, kindly saluting each other, just like P[epy8] and H[ewer]. Behind it were high curled waves and ships a sinking, mid here and there an appearance of some bits of land." 60 DIARY OF [SdDeOk Tlieiice by water, Mr. Povy, Creed, and I, to Arundell House, and there I did see them choosing their Council, it being St. Andrew's-day ;' and I had his Cross^ set on my hat, as the rest had, and cost me 2s. My wife, after dinner, went the first time abroad in her coach, calling on Roger Pepys, and visiting Mrs. Creed, and my cozen Turner; Thus ended this month, with very good content, but most expenseful to my purse on things of pleasure, having furnished my wife's closet and the best chamber, and a coach and horses, that ever I knew in the world ; and I am put into the greatest condition of outward state that ever I was in, or hoped ever to be, or desired: and this at a time when we do daily expect great changes in this Office ; and by all reports we must, all of us, turn out. But my eyes are come to that condition that I am not able to work ; and therefore that, and my wife's desire, make me have no manner of trouble in my thoughts about it. So God do his will in it ! December Ist. This day I hear of poor Mr. Gierke, the solicitor, being dead, of a cold, after being not above two days ill, which troubles me mightily, poor man ! 2d. Abroad with W. Hewer, thinking to have found Mr. Wren at Captain Cox's, to have spoke something to him about doing a favour for Will's uncle Steventon, but missed him. Abroad with my wife, the first time that ever J rode in my own coach, which do make my heart rejoice, and praise God, and pray him to bless it to me and continue it. So she and I to the King's playhouse, and there saw " The Usurper ;" a pretty good play, in all but what is designed to resemble Cromwell and Hugh Peters, which is mighty silly. The play done, we to White Hall ; where my wife staid while I up to the Duchess's and Queen's side, to speak with the Duke of York : and here saw all the ladies, and heard the silly dis- course of the King, with his people about him, telling a story ^ The annual meeting of the Royal Society is still held on that day. ^ The cross of St. Andrew, lilie that of St. Patrick, is a satire. The two, mixed in a very strange manner with the cross of St. George, form the Unioii flag. There is a very good paper on the subject, written by the late Sir N. H. Nicolas, in Brayley's Oraphic IHuatratoVf p. 65. »««8.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 61 of my Lord Rochester's having of his clothes stole, while he was with a wench ; and his gold all gone, but his clothes found afterwards, stuffed in a feather bed by the wench that stole them. I spoke with the Duke of York, just as he was set down to supper with the King, about our sending of vic- tuals to Sir Thomas Allen's fleet hence to Gales [Cadiz], to meet him. To-day I hear that Mr. Ackworth's cause went for him at Guildhall, against his hosiers, which I am well enough pleased with. 3d. Mr. Wren gives me but small hopes of the favour I hoped to get for Mr. Steventon, Will's uncle, of having leave, being upon the point of death, to surrender his place, which do trouble me, but I will do what I can. To the OflBce, Sir Jer. Smith with me; who is a silly, prating, talking man; but he tell me what he hears, — that Holmes and Spragg now rule all with the Duke of Buckingham, as to sea-busi- ness, and will be great men : but he do prophesy what will be the fruit of it ; so I do. So to the Office, where we sat all the morning ; and at noon home to dinner, and then abroad again, with my wife, to the Duke of York's playhouse, and saw " The Unfortunate Lovers ;" a mean play, I think, but some parts very good, and excellently acted. We sat under the boxes, and saw the fine ladies : among others, my Lady Kerneguy,' who is most devilishly painted. And so home, it being mighty pleasure to go alone with my poor wife, in a coach of our own, to a play, and makes us appear mighty great, I think, in the world ; at least, greater than ever I could, or my friends for me, have once expected ; or, I think, than ever any of my family ever yet lived, in my memory, but my cozen Pepys in Salisbury Court. 4th. Did wait as usual upon the Duke of York, where, upon discoursing something touching the Ticket-Office, which by letter the Board did give the Duke of York their advice, to be put upon Lord Brouncker, Sir J. Minnes did foolishly rise up and complain of the Office, and his being made nothing of ; and this before Sir Thomas Littleton, who would be glad of this difference among us, which did trouble me ■ See note to 19th March,1665. 6* E 62 DIARY OF [5th Deo. mightily ; and therefore I did forbear to say what I otherwise would have thought fit for me to say on this occasion, upon so impertinent a speech as this doting fool made — but, I say, I let it alone, and contented myself that it went as I advised, as to the Duke of York's judgment, in the thing disputed. Home, where by invitation I find my aunt Wight, who looked over all our house, and is mighty pleased with it, and indeed it is now mighty handsome, and rich in furniture. I carried my wife and her to Smithfield, where they sit in the coach, while Mr. Pickering, who meets me at Smithfield, and I, and W. Hewer, and a friend of his, a jockey, did go about to see several pairs of horses, for my coach ; but it was late, and we agreed on none, but left it to another time : but here I do see instances of a piece of craft and cunning that I never dreamed of, concerning the buying and choosing of horses. So Mr. Pickering, to whom I am much beholden for his kindness herein, and I parted ; and I with my people home. To the Office, where vexed to see how ill all the Comptroller's business is likely to go on, so long as ever Sir J. Minnes lives ; and so troubled I was, that I thought it a good occa- sion for me to give my thoughts of it in writing, and there- fore wrote a letter at the Board, by the help of a tube, to Lord Brouncker, and did give it him, which I kept a copy of, and it may be of use to me ' hereafter to show, in this matter. This being done, I home to my aunt, who supped with us, and my uncle also : and a good-humoured woman she is, so that I think we shall keep her acquaintance ; but mighty proud she is of her wedding-ring, being lately set with diamonds ; cost her about 121. : and I did commend it mightily to her, but do not think it very suitable for one of our quality. 5th. No news stirring, but that my Lord of Ormond is likely to go to Ireland again, which do show that the Duke of Buckingham do not rule all so absolutely ; and that, how- ever, we shall speedily have more changes in the Navy : and it is certain that the Nonconformists do now preach openly in houses, in many places, and among others the house that was heretofore Sir G. Carteret's, in Leadenhall Streete, and 1668.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 63 have ready access to the King. And now the great dispute is, -whether this Parliament or another ; and my great design, if I continue in the Navy, is to get myself to be a Parliament- man. 6th. (Lord's day.) Up, and with my wife to church ; which pleases me mightily, I being full of fear that she would never go to church again, after she had declared to me that she was a Roman Catholick. But though I do verily think she fears God, and is truly and sincerely righteous, yet I do see she is not so strictly a Catholick as not to go to church with me, which pleases me mightily. Here Mills made a lazy sermon, upon Moses's meeknesse. With my wife and W. Hewer talking over the business of the OflBce, and particu- larly my own Office, how I will make it, and it will become, in a little time, an Office of ease, and not slavery, as it hath for so many years been. 7th. Sir W. Coventry says that he hath no more mind to be found meddling with the Navy, lest it should do it hurt, as well as him. So to talk of general things : and telling him that, with all these doings, he, I thanked God, stood yet; he told me, Yes, but that he thought his continuing in, did arise from his enemies my Lord of Buckingham and Arling- ton's seeing that he cared so little if he was out ; and he do protest to me that he is as weary of the Treasury, as ever he was of the Navy. He tells me that he do believe that their heat is over almost, as to the Navy, there being now none left of the old stock, but my Lord Brouucker, J. Minnes, who is ready to leave the world, and myself. But he tells me that he do foresee very great wants and great disorders by reason thereof; insomuch, as he is represented to the King by his enemies as a melancholy man, and one that is still prophesying ill events, so as the King called him Visionaire, which being told him, he said he answered the party, that, whatever he foresaw, he was not afraid as to himself of any thing, nor particularly of my Lord Arlington, so much as the Duke of Buckingham hath been, nor of the Duke of Bucking- ham, so much as my Lord Arlington at this time is. But he tells me that he hath been always looked upon as a melancholy 64 DIARY OF [8th Dm. man ; whereas, others that would please the King do make him believe that all is safe : and so he hath heard my Lord Chancellor openly say to the King, that he was now a glorious prince, and in a glorious condition, because of some one accident that hath happened, or some one rut that hath been removed; "when," says Sir W. Coventry, " they reckoned their one good meal, without considering that there was nothing left in the cupboard for to-morrow. After this dis- course, to my Lord Sandwich's, and took a quarter of an hour's walk in the garden with him, which I have not done for 80 much time with him since his coming into England ; and talldng of his own condition, and particularly of the world's talk of his going to Tangier. I find, if his condi- tions can be made profitable and safe as to money, he would go, but not else ; but, however, will seem not averse to it, because of facilitating bis other accounts now depending, which he finds hard to get through, but yet hath some hopes, the King, he says, speaking very kindly to him. 8th. Up, and Sir H. Cholmly betimes with me, about some accounts and monies due to him ; and he gone, I to the Office, where sat all the morning ; and here, among other things, breaks out the storm W. Hewer and I have long ex- pected from the Surveyor,' about W. Hewer's conspiring to get a contract, to the burdening of the stores with kerseys and cottons, of which he hath often complained, and lately more than ever ; and now he did by a most scandalous letter to the Board, reflecting on my Office : and, by discourse, it fell to such high words between him and me, as can hardly ever be forgot; I declaring I would believe W. Hewer as soon as him, and laying the fault, if there be any, upon him- self; he, on the other hand, vilifying of my word and W. Hewer's, calling him knave, and that if he were his clerk, he should lose his ears. At last, I closed the business for this morning with making the thing ridiculous, as it is, and he swearing that the King should have right in it, or he would lose his place. The Office was cleared of all but ourselves and W. Hewer ; but, however, the world did by the beginning * Colonel Mlddleton. 1668.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 66 see -what it meant, and it will, I believe, come to high terms between us, which I am sorry for, to have any blemish laid upon me or mine, at this time, though never so unjustly, for fear of giving occasion to my real discredit : and therefore I was not only all the rest of the morning vexed, but so went home to dinner, where my wife tells me of my Lord Orrery's new play " Tryphon," ' at the Duke of York's house, which, however, I would see, and therefore put a bit of meat in our mouths, and went thither, where, with much ado, at half-past one, we got into a blind hole in the ISd. place, above stairs, where we could not hear well. The house infinite full, but the prologue most silly, and the play, though admirable, yet no pleasure almost in it, because just the very same design, and words, and sense, and plot, as every one of his plays have, any one of which alone would be held admirable, whereas so many of the same design and fancy do but dull one another ; and this, I perceive, is the sense of every body else, as well as myself, who therefore showed but little pleasure in it. So home, mighty hot, and my mind mightily out of order, so as I could not eat my supper, or sleep almost all night, though I spent till twelve at night with W. Hewer to consider of our business : and we find it not only most free from any blame of our side, but so horrid scandalous on the other, to make so groundless a complaint, and one so shameful to him, that it could not but let me see that there is no need of my being troubled ; but such is the weakness of my nature, that I could not help it, which vexes me, showing me how unable I am to live with difficulties. 9th. To the Office, but did little there, my mind being still uneasy, though more and more satisfied that there is no occasion for it; but abroad with my wife to the Temple, where I met with Auditor Wood's Clerk, and did some business with him, and so to see Mr. Spong, and found him out by Southampton Market,^ and there carried my wife, and up to * This trat^edy, taken from the first book of Maccabees, was performed with great success.

Many other pretty things he showed us, and did give me a glass bubble,' to try the strength of liquors with. This done, and having spent 6d. in ale in the coach, at the door of the Bull Inn, with the innocent master of the house, a Yorkshireman, for his letting us go through his house, we away to Hercules Pillars, and there eat a bit of meat : and so, with all speed, back to the Duke of York's house, where mighty full again ; but we come time enough to have a good place in the pit, and did hear this new play again, where, though I better understood it than before, yet my sense of it and pleasure was just the same as yesterday, and no more, nor any body else's about us. So took our coach home, having now little pleasure to look about me to see the fine faces, for fear of displeasing my wife, whom I take great comfort now, more than ever, in pleasing ; and it is a real joy to me. So home, and to my Office, where spent an hour or two ; and so home to my wife, to supper and talk, and so to bed. 10th. Up, and to the Office, where busy all the morning : Middleton not there, so no words or looks of him. At noon, home to dinner; and so to the Office, and there all the after- noon busy ; and at night W. Hewer home with me ; and we think we have got matter enough to make Middleton appear a coxcomb. But it troubled me to have Sir W. Warren meet me at night, going out of the Office home, and tell me that Middleton do intend to complain to the Duke of York: but, upon consideration of the business, I did go to bed, satisfied that it was best for me that he should ; and so my trouble was over, and to bed, and slept well. ' This seems to be Mr. Boylo's hydrometer, described in the PhiloaofhietU Trnnsactiona of the time. 1*68.] SAMUEL PEPTS. 67 llth. Up, and -vritli W. Hewer by water to Somerset House ; and there I to my Lord Brouncker, before he went forth to the Duke of York, and there told him my confidence that I should make Middleton appear a fool, and that it was, I thought, best for me to complain of the wrong he hath done ; but brought it about, that my Lord desired me I would for- bear, and promised that he would prevent Middleton till I had given in my answer to the Board, which I desired : and so away to White Hall, and there did our usual attendance : and no word spoke before the Duke of York by Middleton at all ; at which I was glad to my heart, because by this means I have time to draw up my answer to my mind. With W.

Here I met W. Joyce, who troubled me with his impertinencies a great while, and the like Mr. Knipp, who, it seem, is a kind of a jockey, and would fain have been doing something for me, but I avoided him, and the more for fear of being troubled thereby with his wife, whom I dare not see, for my vow to my wife. At last, con- cluded upon giving 501. for a fine pair of black horses we saw this day se'nnight ; and so set Mr. Pickering down near his house, whom I am much beholden to, for his care herein, and he hath admirable skill, I perceive, in this business, and so home. 12th. I hear this day that there is fallen down a new house, not quite finished, in Lumberd Street, and that there have been several so, they making use of bad mortar and bricks ; but no hurt yet, as God hath ordered it.

His jomplaint is ill-worded, and the other's defence the most ridiculous that ever I saw ; and so everybody else that was there, thought it ; but never did I see so great an instance of the use of grammar, and knowledge how to tell a man's tale as this day, Bland having spoiled his business by ill-telling it, who had work to have made himself notorious by his mastering Norwood, his enemy, if he had known how to have used it. To dinner by a hackney, my coachman being this day about breaking of my horses to the coach, they having never yet drawn. This day, I hear and am glad, that the King hath prorogued the Parliament to October next ; and, among other reasons, it will give me time to go to France, I hope. 15th. Up, and to the Office, where sat all the morning, and the new Treasurers there ; and, for my life, I cannot keep Sir J.

At noon home to dinner ; and then to Brooke House, and there spoke with Colonel Thomson, I by order carrying the Commissioners of Accounts our Contract-books, from the beginning to the end of the late war. I found him finding of errors in a ship's book, where he showed me many, which must end in the ruin, I doubt, of the Comptroller, who found them not out in the pay of the ship, or the whole Office. To the Office, and after some other business done, we fell to mine. The Surveyor began to be a little brisk at the beginning ; but when I came to the point to touch him, which I had all the advantages in the world to do, he became as calm as a lamb, and owned, as the whole Board did, their satisfaction, and cried excuse : and so all made friends ; and their acknowledgment put into writing, and delivered into Sir J.

My wife and I by hackney to the Bang's playhouse, and there, the pit being full, sat in the box above, and saw "Catiline's Conspiracy,"' yesterday being the first day: a play of much good sense and words to read, but that do appear the worst upon the stage, I mean, the least diverting, that ever I saw any, though most fine in clothes ; and a fine scene of the Senate, and of a fight, as ever I saw in my life. We sat next to Betty Hall,^ that did belong to this house, and was Sir Philip Howard's mistress; a mighty pretty wench, though my wife wUl not think so ; and I dare neither commend, nor be seen to look upon her, or any other, for fear of offending her. So, our own coach coming for us, home, and to end letters, and my wife to read to me out of " The Siege of Rhodes," and so to supper, and to bed. 20th. (Lord's day.) The Duke of York in good humour did fall to tell us many fine stories of the wars in Flanders, and how the Spaniards are the best disciplined foot in the world ; will refuse no extraordinary service if commanded, but scorn to be paid for it, as in other countries, though at the same time they will beg in the streets : not a soldier will carry you a cloak-bag for money for the world, though he will beg a penny, and will do the thing, if commanded by his Com- mander. That, in the citadel of Antwerp, a soldier hath not a liberty of begging till he hath served three years.

He told us too, that Turenne being now become a Catholick,^ he is likely to get over the head of Col- bert,^ their interests being contrary ; the latter to promote trade* and the sea, which, says the Duke of York, is that we have most cause to fear; and Turenne to employ the King and his forces by land, to encrease his conquests. W.

Thence to the Duke's playhouse, and saw " Macbeth." The King and Court there; and we sat just under them and my Lady Castlemaine, and close to a woman that comes into the pit, a kind of a loose gossip, that pretends to be like her, and is so, something. And my wife, by my troth, appeared, I think, as pretty as any of them ; I never thought so much before ; and so did Talbot and W. Hewer, as, I heard, they said to one another. The King and Duke of York minded me, and smiled upon me, at the hand- some woman near me : but it vexed me to see Moll Davis, in the box over the King's and my Lady Castlemaine's, look down upon the King, and he up to her ; and so did my Lady Castlemaine once, to see who it was ; but when she saw Moll Davis, she looked like fire ; which troubled me. 23d. Discoursed with Sir John Bankes, who thinks this prorogation will please all but the Parliament itself, which will, if ever they meet, be vexed at Buckingham, who yet governs all. He says the Nonconformists are glad of it, and, he be- lieves, will get the upper-hand in a little time, for the King must trust to them or nobody ; and he thinks the King will be forced to it. He says that Sir D. Gauden is mightily troubled at Pen's being put upon him, by the Duke of York,' and that he believes he will get clear of it, which, though it will trouble me to have Pen still at the Office, yet I shall think D. Gauden do well in it, and what I would advise him to, because I love him. So home to dinner, and then with my wife alone abroad, with our new horses, the beautifullest almost that ever I saw, and the first time they ever carried her and me, but once ; but we are mighty proud of them.

The play was "Women Pleased,"" which we had never seen before ; and, though but indiflFerent, yet there is a good design for a good play. 27th. (Lord's-day.)

He says that he hath always had their most private debates, that have been but between two or three of the chief of them, brought to him in an hour after, and an hour after that, hath sent word thereof to the King, but nobody here regarded them. But he tells me the sad news, that he is out of all expectations that ever the debts of the Navy will be paid, if the Parliament do not enable the King to do it by money ; all they can hope for to do out of the King's revenue beii^g but to keep our wheels a-going on present services, and, if they can, to cut off the growing interest : which is a sad story,and grieves me to the heart. 28th.

Through the Park, where I met the King and the Duke of York, and so walked with them ; and I did give the Duke of York thanks for his favour to me yesterday, at the Committee of Tangier, in my absence, where some business was brought forward which the Duke of York would not suffer to go on, without my presence at the debate. And he answered me just thus : that he ought to have a care of him that do the King's business in ihe manner that I do, and words of more force than that. Then down with Lord Brouncker to Sir R.

But the latter, talking of pnblick things, told me, as Mr. Wren also did, that the Parliament is likely to meet again, the King being frighted with what the Speaker hath put him in mind of — his promise not to prorogue, but only to adjourne them. They speak mighty freely of the folly of the King in this foolish woman's business, of my Lady Harvy. Povy tells me that Sir W. Coventry was with the King alone, an hour this day ; and that my Lady Castlemaine is now in a higher command over the King than ever — not as a mistress, for she scorns him, bet as a tyrant, to command him : and says that the Duchess of York and the Duke of York are mighty great with her, which is a great interest to my Lord Chancellor's' family; and that they do agree to hinder all they can the proceedings of the Duke of Buckingham and Arlington : and so we are in the old mad condition, or rather worse than any ; no man knowing what the French intend to do the next summer. 17th.

Here I met Hugh May, and he brings me to the knowledge of Sir Henry Capell,' a member of Parliament, and brother of my Lord of Essex,' who hath a great value, it seems, for me ; and they appoint a day to come and dine with me, and see my books and papers of the Office, which I shall be glad to show them, and have opportunity to satisfy them therein. Here all the discourse is, that now the King is of opinion to have the Parliament called, notwithstanding his late resolu- tions for proroguing them ; so unstable are his councils, and those about him. 18th. To Sir W. Coventry's, and there discourse the busi- ness of my Treasurer's place, at Tangier, wherein he consents to my desire, and concurs therein, which I am glad of, that I may not be accountable for a man so far off. And so I to my Lord Sandwich's, and there walk with him through the garden,^ to White Hall, where he tells me what he hath done about this Treasurer's place, and I perceive the whole thing did proceed from him: that finding it would be best to have the Governor have nothing to do with the pay of the garrison, he did propose to the Duke of York alone that a pay-master should be there ; and that being desirous to do a courtesy to Sir Charles Harbord,* and to prevent the Duke of York's looking out for anybody else, he did name him to the Duke of York. Then when he came the other day to move this to the Board of Tangier, the Duke of York, it seems, did really reply, that it was fit to have Mr. Pepys ' Henry, second son of Arthur, first Baron Capel of Hadham, and himself elevated to the Peerage, in 1692, by the title of Lord Capel of Tewkesbury, for which town he had served in Parliament. He had been created K.B. at tho coronation of Charles II., and was a leading member of the House of Commons ; and, in 1679, appointed First Commissioner of the Admiralty.

This my Lord in great confidence tells me, that he do take very ill from the Duke of York, though nobody knew the meaning of these words but him ; and that he did take no notice of them, but bit his lip, being satisfied that the Duke of York's care of me was as desirable to him, as it could be to serve Sir Charles Harbord : and did seem industrious to let me see that he was glad that the Duke of York and he might come to contend who shall be the kindest to me, which I owned as his great love, and so I hope and believe it is, though my Lord did go a little too far in this business, to move it so far, without consulting me. But I took no notice of that, but was glad to see this competition come about, that my Lord Sandwich is apparently jealous of my thinking that the Duke of York do mean me more kind ness than him. So we walked together, and I took this occasion to invite him to dinner to my house, and he readily appointed Friday next, which I shall be glad to have over to his content, he having never yet eat a bit of my bread. Thence to the Duke of York on the King's side, and meeting Mr. Sidney Montagu and Shores, a small invitation served their turn to carry them to London, where I paid Shores ' his lOOL, given him for his pains in drawing the plate of Tangier fortifications.

Thence set them at home with my wife; and I to the 'Change, and so home, where my wife mighty dogged, and I vexed to see it, being mightily troubled, of late, at her being out of humour, for fear of her discovering any new matter of offence against me, though I am conscious of none ; but I do hate to be unquiet at home. So, late up, silent, and not supping, but hearing her utter some words of discontent to me with silence, and so to bed, weeping to myself for grief, which she discerning, come to bed, and mighty kind. 22d.

And after greeting them, and some time spent in talk, dinner was brought up, one dish after another, but a dish at a time, but all so good ; but, above all things, the variety of wines, and excellent of their kind, I had for them, and all in so good order, that they were mightily pleased, and myself full of con- tent at it : and indeed it was, of a dinner about six or eight dishes, as noble as any man need to have, I think ; at least, all was done in the noblest manner that ever I had any, and I have rarely seen in my life better anywhere else, even at the Court. After dinner, my Lords to cards, and the rest of us sitting about them and talking, and looking on my books and pictures, and my wife's drawings, which they commended mightily; and mighty merry all day long, with exceeding great content, and so till seven at night ; and so took their leaves, it being dark and foul weather. Thus was this enter- tainment over, the best of its kind, and the fullest of honour and content to me, that ever I had in my life : and I shall not easily have so good again. The truth is, I have some fear that I am more behind-hand in the world for these last two years, since I have not, or for some time could not, look after my accounts, which do a little allay my pleasure.

I to White Hall ; and here I met Will. Batelier, newly come post from France, his boots all dirty. He brought letters to the King, and I glad to see him, it having been reported that he was drowned, for some days past. By and by the King comes out, and so I took coach, and followed his coaches to my Lord Keeper's, at Essex House,' where I never was before, since I saw my old Lord Essex lie in state when he was dead ; a large, but ugly house. Here all the Officers of the Navy attended, and by and by were called in to the King and Cabinet, where my Lord, who was ill, did lie upon the bed, as my old Lord Treasurer, or Chancellor, heretofore used to do ; and the business was to know in what time all the King's ships might be repaired, fit for service. The Sm-veyor answered, in two years, and not sooner. I did give them hopes that, with supplies of money suitable, we might have them all fit for sea, some part of the summer after this. Then they demanded in what time we could set out forty ships. It was answered, as they might be chosen of the newest and most ready, we could, with money, get forty ready against May. The King seemed mighty full that he should have money to do all that we desired, and satisfied that, without it, nothing could be done : and so, without determining any thing, we were dismissed ; and I doubt all will end in some little fleete this year, and that of hired merchant-men, which would indeed be cheaper to the King, and have many conveniences attending it, more than to fit out the King's own ; and this, I perceive, is designed, springing from Sir W. Coventry's * Essex House, where Robert Deverouz, third Earl of that name, died, in 1646, when Pepys was fourteen years old, stood formerly on the site of Essex Street and Devereux Court, near the Temple.

Thence -with Mr. Wren in his coach, for discourse' sake : and he told me how the business of the Parliament is wholly laid aside, it being overruled now, that they shall not meet, but must be prorogued, upon this argument chiefly, that all the diiferences between the two houses, and things on foot, that were matters of difference and discontent, may be laid aside, and must begin again, if ever the house shall have a mind to pursue them. Here he set me down, and I to my cozen Turner, and stayed and talked a little ; and so took my wife, and home, and there to make her read, and then to supper, and to bed. At supper come W. Batelier and supped with us, and told us many pretty things of France, and the greatness of the present King. 25th. My wife showed me many excellent prints of Nantueill's ' and others, which W. Batelier hath, at my desire, brought me out of France, of the King, and Colbert, and others, most excellent, to my great content. But he hath also brought a great many gloves perfumed, of several sorts ; but all too big by half for her, and yet she will have two or three dozen of them, which vexed me, and made me angry. So she, at last, to please me, did come to take what alone I thought fit, which pleased me. 26th.

Gauden also was. And here was the King and the Cabinet met : and, being called in, among the rest I find my Lord Privy Seale, whom I never before knew to be in so much play, as to be of the Cabinet. The business is, that the Algerines have broke the peace with us, by taking some Spaniards and goods out of an English ship, which had the Duke of York's pass, of which advice came this day; and the King is resolved to stop Sir Thomas Allen's fleete from coming home, till he hath amends made him for this affront, and therefore sent for us to advise about victuals * Robert Nanteuil, the celebrated French engraver, n native of Bheuaa.

Among others, L'Estat de France, Marnix,^ &c., to my great content ; and so I was well pleased with them : as also one or two printed musick-books of songs ; but my eyes are now too much out of tune to look upon them, with any pleasure. 27th.

Going home to supper with my wife, and to get her to read to me, I did find that Mr. Shores hath, beyond his promise, not only got me a candlestick made me, after a form he remembers to have seen in Spain, for keeping the light from one's eyes, but hath got it done in silver very neat, and designs to give it me, in thanks for my paying him his 1001. in money, for his service at Tangier, which was ordered him ; but I do intend to force him to make me pay for it.

Thence to see Creed's wife, where both of them within ; and here met Mr. Bland, newly come from Cales [Cadiz], after his differences with Norwood.^ I think him a foolish, light- headed man ; but certainly he hath been abused in this matter, by Colonel Norwood. Here Creed showed me a copy of some propositions, which Bland and others, in the name of the Corporation of Tangier, did present to Norwood, for his opinion in, in order to the King's service, which were drawn up very humbly, and were really good things ; but his answer to them was in the most proud, carping, insolent, and ironically- prophane stile, that ever I saw in my life, so as I shall never think the place can do well, while he is there. Here, after some talk, and Creed's telling us that he is upon taking the next house to his present lodgings, which is next to that which my cozen Tom Pepys once lived in, in Newport Street, in Covent Garden ; and is in a good place, and then, I suppose, he will keep his coach.

And, the truth is, I did observe Mrs. Hollworthy smile often, and many others of the parish, who, I perceive, have known him, and were in mighty expectation of hearing him preach, but could not forbear smiling, and she particularly on me, and I on her.

And thence he carried me to Mr. Streeter's,' the famous history-painter, over the way, whom I have often heard of, but did never see him before ; and there I found him, and Dr. Wren,^ and several Virtuosos, looking upon the paintings which he is making for the new Theatre at Oxford : and, indeed, they look as if they would be very fine, and the rest think better than those of Rubens, in the Banqueting-house at White Hall, but I do not so fully think so. But they will certainly be very noble ; and I am mightily pleased to have the fortune to see this man and his work, which is very famous ; and he a very civil little man, and lame, but lives very handsomely.

According to Pepys, it would seem that the imitation was made in the play of " The Heiress," which is very likely ; ajid perhaps for this he got another beating, or it might be the same, and that in Vol. IV. — 9 Q 94 DIARY OF [2d Feb. the Duke of York's playhouse, and there saw "She Would if She Could."

To dinner at noon, where I find Mr. Sheres ; and there made a short dinner, and carried him with us to the King's playhouse, where " The Heyresse," notwithstanding Kinaston's being beaten, is acted : and they say the King is very angry with Sir Charles Sedley for his being beaten, but he do deny it. But his part is done by Beeston, who is fain to read it out of a book all the while, and therefore spoils the part, and almost the play, it being one of the best parts in it ; and though the design is, in the first conception of it, pretty good, yet it is but an indifierent play, wrote, they say, by my Lord Newcastle. But it was pleasant to see Beeston come in with others, supposing it to be dark, and yet he is forced to read his part by the light of the candles : and this I observing to a gentleman that sat by me, he was mightily pleased therewith, and spread it up and down. But that, that pleased me most in the play is, the first song that Knipp sings, she singing three or four ; and, indeed, it was very finely sung, so as to make the whole house clap her. Thence carried Sheres to White Hall, and there I stepped in, and looked out Mr. May, who tells me that he and his company cannot come to dine with me to-morrow, whom I expected only to come to see the manner of our Office and books, at which I was not very much displeased, having much business at the Office. My wife in mighty ill humour all night, and in the morning I found it to be from observing Knipp to wink and smile on me, and she says I smiled on her ; and, poor wretch ! I did perceive that she did, and do on all such occasions, mind my eyes. I did, with much difficulty, pacify which the story, the scene of which is laid in the Park, originated. It is wortli remarliing, on the authority of Mr. Genest, the compiler of Some Account of the English Stage from 1660 to 1830, that Sir C, Sedley expressly introduced the incident of the beating of one man for another, owiag to similarity of dress and appearance, into his comedy of " The Mulberry Garden," which seems v> have been first acted 18th May, 1668, some time before the date Pepys assigns to the caning of Eynaston, 1st February, 1668-9.

Mr. Spong brings me two or three draughts of the port of Brest, to my great content, and I did call Mr. Gibson to take notice of it, who is very much pleased therewith ; and it seems this Parallelogram is not, as Mr. Shores would, the other day, have persuaded me, the same as a Protractor,^ which do so much the more make me value it, but of itself it is a most usefull instrument. Thence out with my wife and him, and carried him to an instrument-maker's shop in Chancery Lane, that was once a 'prentice of Greatorex's, but the master was not within, and Gibson there showed me a Parallelogram in brass, which I like so well that I will buy, and therefore bid it be made clean and fit for me.

It was, that she did believe me false to her with Jane, and did rip up three or four silly circumstances of her not rising till I come out of my chamber, and her letting me thereby see her dressing herself ; and that I must needs go into her ' Probably Boynton. Sir Matthew Boynton, of Barmston, in Yorkshire, was created a Baronet in 1618. Ho had seven sons, one of whom, Goloml Boynton, having embraced, like his father, the cause of the parliament, took Sir John Hotham prisoner at York. Sir Matthew died in 1646. His eldest eon became Sir Francis Boynton ; the second, Matthew, was slain at Wigan, before the advance of Charles II. to Worcester : he left two daughters, one of whom, Katherine, the Maid of Honour, who figures in Grammont, married Richard Talbot, afterwards Duke of Tyrconnel ; tho other married Wentworth, Earl of Roscommon. The remaining five sons, Marmaduke, John, Qustavus, Cornelius, Charles, all died unmarried.

At last, I did give her such satisfaction, that we were mighty good friends. 8th. Up, and dressed myself; and by coach, with W. Hewer and my wife, to White Hall, where she sat us down ; and in the way, our little boy, at Martin, my bookseller's shop, going to 'light, did fall down ; and, had he not been a most nimble boy (I saw how he did it, and was mightily pleased with him for it), he had been run over by the coach. To visit my Lord Sandwich ; and there, while my Lord was dressing himself, did see a young Spaniard, that he hath brought over with him, dance, which he is admired for, as the best dancer in Spain, and indeed he do with mighty mastery ; but I do not like his dancing as well as the English, though my Lord commends it mightily ; but I will have him to my house, and show it my wife. Here I met with Mr. Moore, who tells me the state of my Lord's accounts of his embassy, which I find not so good as I thought : for, though it be passed the King and his Cabal, the Committee for Foreign Affairs, as they are called, yet they have cut off from 19,000?. full 8000?., and have now sent it to the Lords of the Treasury, who, though the Committee have allowed the rest, yet they are not obliged to abide by it. So that I do fear this account may yet be long ere it be passed — much more, ere that sum be paid : I am sorry for the family, and not a little for what it owes me. To my wife, and in our way home did show her the tall woman, in Holborne, which I have seen before ; and I measured her, and she is, without shoes, just six feet five inches high, and they say not above twenty-one years old. Thence home, and there to dinner, and my wife in a wonderful ill humour; and, after dinner, I staid with her alone, being not able to endure this life, and we fell to some angry words together ; but by and by were mighty good friends, she telling me plain it was about Jane, which I made a matter of mirth at ; but at last did call up Jane, and confirm her mistress's directions for hnr being gone 9* 98 DIAKY OF [loth Feb. at Easter, which I find the wench willing to be, but directly prays that Tom might go with her, which I promised, and was but what I designed ; and she being thus spoke with, and gone, my wife and I good friends.

This morning, also going to visit Roger Pepys, at the potticary's in King's Street, he tells me that Roger is gone to his wife's, so that they have been married, as he tells me, ever since the middle of last week: it was his design, upon good reasons, to make no noise of it ; but I am well enough contented that it is over. 9th. To the King's playhouse, and there saw " The Island Princesse," which I like mighty well, as an excellent play : and here we find Kinaston to be well enough to act again, which he do very well, after his beating, by Sir Charles Sedley's appointment. 10th. To White Hall, where the Duke of York was gone a-himting : and so to the plaisterer's at Charing Cross, that casts heads and bodies in plaister : and there I had my whole face done ; but I was vexed first to be forced to daub all my face over with pomatum : but it was pretty to feel how soft and easily it is done on the face, and by and by, by degrees, how hard it becomes, that you cannot break it, and sits so close, that you cannot pull it off, and yet so easy, that it is as soft as a pillow, so safe is everything where many parts of the body do bear alike. Thus was the mould made; but when it came ofi" there was little pleasure in it, as it looks in the mould, nor any resemblance whatever there will be in the figure, when I come to see it cast ofi". To White Hall, where I staid till the Duke of York came from hunting, which he did by and by, and, when dressed, did come out to dinner ; and there I waited : and he did mightily magnify his sauce, which he did then eat with every thing, and said it was the best universal sauce in the world, it being taught him by the Spanish Embassador ;' made of some parsley and ■ The CoDde de Dona. 1668-69.] SAMUEL PBPTS. 09 a dry toast, beat in a mortar, together with vinegar, salt, and a little pepper : he eats it with flesh, or fowl, or fish : and then he did now mightily commend some new sort of wine lately found out, called Navarre wine, which I tasted, and is, I think, good wine : but I did like better the notion of the sauce, and by and by did taste it, and liked it mightily^ After dinner, I did what I went for, which was to get his consent that Baity might hold his Muster-Master's place by deputy, in his new employment which I design for him, about the Storekeeper's accounts ; which the Duke of York did grant me, and I was mightily glad of it. Home, and there I find Povy and W. Batelier, by appointment, met to talk of some merchandize of wine and linnen ; but I do not like of their troubling my house to meet in, having no mind to their pretences of having their rendezvous here. 11th.

Here we showed him Sir J. Minnes's propositions about balancing Storekeeper's ac- counts ; and I did show him Hosier's, which did please him mightily, and he will have it showed the Council and King anon, to be put in practice. Thence to the Treasurer's ; and I and Sir J. Minnes and Mr. Tippets down to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, and there had a hot debate from Sir Thomas Clifibrd and my Lord Ashly, the latter of whom, I hear, is turning about as fast as he can to the Duke of Buckingham's side, being in danger, it seems, of being otherwise out of play, which would not be convenient for him, against Sir W. Coventry and Sir J, Duncomb, who did aphold our OflSce against an accusation of our Treasurers, ' See 17tli February, port. 100 DIARY OF [12tiFeb. who told the Lords that they found that we had run the King in debt 50,000Z., or more, more than the money appointed for the year would defray, which they declared like fools, and with design to hurt us, though the thing is in itself ridiculous. But my Lord Ashly and Clifford did most horribly cry out against the want of method in the Office. At last it came that it should be put in writing what they had to object ; but I was devilish mad at it, to see us thus wounded by our own members. My wife and I to Hercules Pillars, and there dined ; and there coming a Frenchman by with his Shew, we did make him shew it us, which he did just as Lacy acts it, which made it mighty pleasant to me. Away, and to Dancre's, and there saw our picture of Green- wich in doing,' which is mighty pretty. Attended with Lord Brouncker, the King and Council, about the proposition of balancing Storekeeper's accounts ; and there presented Ho- sier's book, and it was mighty well resented^ and approved of. So the Council being up, we to the Queen's side with the King and Duke of York : and the Duke of York did take me out to talk of our Treasurers, whom he is mighty angry with ; and I perceive he is mighty desirous to bring in as many good motions of profit and reformation in the Navy as he can, before the Treasurers do light upon them, they being desirous, it seems, to be thought the great reformers : and the Duke of York do well. But to my great joy he is mighty open to me in every thing; and by this means I know his whole mind, and shall be able to secure myself, if he stands. Here to-night I understand, by my Lord Brouncker, that at last it is concluded on by the King and Buckingham that my Lord of Ormond shall not hold his government of Ireland, which is a great stroke, to shew the power of Buckingham and the poor spirit of the King, and little hold that any man can have of him. I and my wife called at my cozen Turner's, and there met our new cozen Pepys, Mrs. Dickenson, and Bab. and Betty come yesterday to town, poor girls, whom we have reason to love, and mighty glad we are to see them ; ' See ante, 22d Jan., 1668-9. * Resent, to take well or ill. — Johnaon 1668-69.] SAMUEL PEPYS. 101 and there staid a little, beiug also mightily pleased to see Betty Turner, who is now in town, and her brothers Charles and Will, being come from school to see their father, and there talked a while, and so home, and there Felling hath got W. Pen's book against the Trinity.' I got my wife to read it to me ; and I find it so well writ as, I think, it ia too good for him ever to have writ it ; and it is a serious sort of book, and not fit for every body to read. 14th. (Lord's day.) Up, and by coach to Sir W. Coventry and there he tells me he takes no care for any thing more than in the Treasury; and that, that being done, he goes to cards and other delights, as plays, and in the summer-time to bowles. But here he did show me two or three old books of the Navy, of my Lord Northumberland's^ times, which he hath taken many good notes out of, for justifying the Duke of York and us, in many things, wherein, perhaps, precedents will be necessary to produce. Thence to White Hall, where the Duke of York expected me; and in his closet Wren and I. He did tell me how the King hath been acquainted with the Treasurers'^ discourse at the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, the other day, and is dissatisfied with our running him in debt, which I removed ; and he did carry me to the King, and I did satisfy him also ; but his satisfac- tion is nothing worth, it being easily got, and easily removed ; but I do purpose to put in writing that which shall make the Treasurers ashamed. But the Duke of York is horrid angry against them ; and he hath cause, for they do work all they can to bring dishonour upon his management, as do plainly appear in all they do.

Wren says, that for the Duke of York to stir in this matter, as his quality might justify, would but make all things worse, and that therefore he must bend, and suffer all, till time works it out : that he fears they will sacrifice the Church, and that the King will take anything, and so he will hold up his head a little longer, and then break in pieces. But Sir W. Coventry did to-day mightily magnify my late Lord Treasurer,' for a wise and solid, though infirm man: and, among other things, that when he hath said it was impossible in nature to find this or that sum of money, and my Lord Chancellor^ hath made sport of it, and told the King that when my Lord hath said it was impossible, yet he hath made shift to find it, and that was by Sir G. Carteret's getting credit, my Lord did once in his hearing say thus, which he magnifies as a great saying — that impossible would be found impossible at last ; meaning that the King would run himself out, beyond all his credit and funds, and then we should too late find it impossible ; which is, he says, now come to pass. 15th. Up, and with Tom to White Hall ; and there at a Committee of Tangier, where a great instance of what a man may lose by the neglect of a friend : Povy never had such an opportunity of passing his accounts, the Duke of York being there, and everybody well disposed, and in expectation of them ; but my Lord Ashly, on whom he relied, and, for whose sake this day was pitched on, that he might be sure to be there, among the rest of his friends, staid too long, till the Duke of York and his company thought unfit to stay longer : and 80 the day lost, and God knows when he will have so good a one again, as long as he lives ; and this was the man ' Soatbbmptun.

At the 'Change, I did at my bookseller's shop accidentally fall into talk with Sir Samuel Tuke^ about trees, and Mr. Evelyn's garden ; and I do find him, I think, a little conceited, but a man of very fine discourse as any I ever heard almost, which I was mighty glad of. After dinner, my wife and I endea- voured to make a visit to Ned Pickering ; but he not at home, nor his lady ; and therefore back again, and took up my cozen Turner, and to my cozen Roger's lodgings, and there find him pretty well again, and his wife mighty kind and merry, and did make mighty much of us, and I believe he is married to a very good woman.

I passing by her, did observe she looked back again and again upon me, I suffering her to go before, and it being now duske. She went into the little passage towards the Privy Water-Gate, and I followed, but missed her ; but coming back again, I observed she returned, and went to go out of the Court. I followed her, and took occasion, in the new passage now built, where the walk is to be, to take her by the hand, to lead her through, which she willingly accepted, and I led her to the Great Gate, and there left her she telling me, of her own accord, that she was going as far as Charing Cross ; but my boy was at the gate, and so I durst not go out with her. So to Lincoln's Inn, where to Mr. Pedly, with whom I spoke, and did my business pre- sently : and I find him a man of good language, and mighty civil, and I believe very upright : and so home, where W- Batelier was, and supped with us, and I did reckon this night what I owed him ; and I do find that the things my wife, of her own head, hath taken, together with my own, which comes not to above 5Z., comes to about 22Z.

Hewer with us, these two girls making it necessary that they be always with us, for I am not company light enough to be always merry with them : and so sat talking all the afternoon, and then Shepley went away first, and then my cozen Eoger and his wife. 22d. After dinner, with my wife, in her morning-gown, and the two girls dressed, to Unthanke's, where my wife dresses herself, having her gown this day laced, and a new petticoat; and so is indeed very fine. In the evening to White Hall, and there did without much trouble get into the playhouse, finding a good place among the Ladies of Honour, and all of us sitting in the pit ; and then by and by came the King and Queen, and they began " Bartholomew Fair." But I like no play here so well as at the common playhouse ; besides that, my eyes being very ill since last Sunday and this day se'nnight, I was in mighty pain to defend myself now from the light of the candles. After the play done, we met with W. Batelier and W. Hewer and Talbot Pepys, and they followed us in a hackney-coach : and we all stopped at Hercules' Pillars ;^ and there did give them the best supper I could, and pretty merry ; and so home between eleven and ■twelve at night. 23d.

But I do find them staying at my tailor's, the play not being to-day, and therefore to Westminster Abbey, and there did see all the tombs very finely, having one with us alone, there being other company ' In Fleet Street; see 11th October, 1660. 108 DIARY OF [24th Feb. this day to see the tombs, it being Shrove Tuesday ; and here we did see, by particular favour, the body of Queen Katherine of Valois ; and I had the upper part of her body in my hands, and I did kiss her mouth, reflecting upon it that I did kiss a Queen, and that this was my birth-day, thirty-six years old, that I did kiss a Queen.* But here this man, who seems to understand well, tells me that the saying is not true that she was never buried, for she was buried ; only, when Henry the Seventh built his chapel, she was taken up and laid in this wooden coffin ; but I did there see that, in it, the body was buried in a leaden one, which remains under the body to this day. Thence to the Duke of York's playhouse, and there, finding the play begun, we homeward to the Glass- House,^ and there shewed my cozens the making of glass, and had several things made with great content ; and, among others, I had one or two singing-glasses made, which make an echo to the voice, the first that ever I saw ; but so thin, that the very breath broke one or two of them. Thence to Mr. Batelier's, where we supped, and had a good supper, and here was Mr. Pembleton : and after supper some fiddles, and so to dance ; but my eyes were so out of order, that I had little pleasure this night at all, though I was glad to see the rest merry. 24th.

The record of this royal salute on his natal day is very characteristic. The story told him in Westminster Ahhey appears to have been correct ; for Neale informs us {History of Weetmineter Ahhey, vol. ii., p. 88) that near the south side of Henry the Fifth's tomb, there was formerly a wooden chest, or coffin, wherein part of the skeleton and parched body of Katherine de Valois, his Queen (from the waist upwards), was to be seen. She was interred in January, 1457, in the Chapel of Our Lady, at the east end of this Church; but when that building was pulled down by her grandson, Henry the Seventh, her coffin was found to be decayed, and her body was taken up, and placed in a chest, near her firsi: husband's tomb. '* There," says Dart, " it hath ever since continued to be seen, the bones being ilrmly united, and thinly clothed with flesh, like scrapings of tanned leather." This awful spectacle of frail mortality was at length removed from the public gaze, into St. Nicholas's Chapel, and finally deposited under the monument of Sir George Villiers, when the vault was made for the remains of Elizabeth Percy, Duchess of Northumberland, in December, 1776. * In Blackfriars.

And so away home to bed, with infinite content at this his treat; for it was mighty pretty, and everything mighty rich. 25th. To the Duke of York's house, and there before one, but the house infinite full, where, by and by, the King and Court come, it being a new play, or an old one new vamped, by Shadwell, called "The Eoyall Shepherdesse;"' but the silliest for words and design, and everything, that ever I saw in my whole life, there being nothing in the world pleasing in it, but a good martial dance of pikemen, where Harris and another do handle their pikes in a dance to admiration ; but I was never less satisfied with a play in my life. 26th. To the King's playhouse, and saw " The Faithfull Shepherdesse." But, Lord ! what an empty house, there not being, as I could tell the people, so many as to make up above 10?. in the whole house ! The being of a new play at the other house, I suppose, being the cause, though it be so silly a play that I wonder how there should be enough people to go thither two days together, and not leave more to fill this house. The emptiness of the house took away our plea- sure a great deal, though I liked it the better ; for I plainly discern the musick is the better, by how much the house the emptier. Thence home, and again to W. Hewer's, and had a pretty little treat, and spent an hour or two, my voice being wholly taken away with my cold, and so home and to bed. 28th. (Lord's day.) Up, and got my wife to read to me a copy of what the Surveyor oiFered to the Duke of York on Friday, he himself putting it into my hands to read ; but, Lord ! it is a poor, silly thing ever to think to bring it in practice, in the King's Navy. It is to have the Captains to account for all stores and victuals ; but upon so silly grounds, to my thinking, and ignorance of the present instructions of Officers, that I am ashamed to hear it.

After dinner to write down my Journall ; and then abroad by coach with my cozens, to their father's, where we are kindly received, but he is in great pain for his man Arthur, who, he fears, is now dead, having been desperate sick, and speaks so much of him that my cozen, his wife, and I, did make mirth of it, and call him Arthur O'Bradly.' After staying here a little, and eat and drank, and she give me some gingerbread made in cakes, like chocolate, very good, made by a friend, I carried him and her to my cozen Turner's, where we staid, expecting her coming from church ; but she coming not, I went to her husband's chamber in the Temple, and thence fetched her. After talking there a while, and agreeing to be all merry at my house on Tuesday next, I away home ; and there spent the evening talking and reading, with my wife and Mr. Polling. March 1st. I do hear that my Lady Paulina Montagu did die yesterday ; at which I went to my Lord's lodgings, but he is shut up with sorrow, and so not to be spoken with : and therefore I returned, and to Westminster Hall, where I have not been, I think, in some months. And here the Hall was very full, the King having, by Commission to some Lords this day, prorogued the Parliament till the 19th of October next : at which I am glad, hoping to have time to go over to France this year. But I was most of all surprised this morn- ing by my Lord Bellassis, who, by appointment, met me at Auditor Wood's, at the Temple, and tells me of a duell designed between the Duke of Buckingham and my Lord Halifax, or Sir W. Coventry ; the challenge being carried by Harry Saville, but prevented by my Lord Arlington, and the King told of it ; and this was all the discourse at Court this day. But I, meeting Sir W.

And so home, where W. Batelier come, and sat with us ; and there, after many doubts, did resolve to go on with our feast and dancing to-morrow ; and so, after supper, left the maids to make clean the house, and to lay the cloth, and other things against to- morrow, and so to bed. 2d. Home, and there I find my company come, namely, Madam Turner, Dyke, The., and Betty Turner, and Mr. Bell- wood, formerly their father's clerk, but now set up for himself — a conceited, silly fellow, but one they make mightily of — my cozen Roger Pepys, and his wife, and two daughters. I had a noble dinner for them, as I almost ever had, and mighty merry, and particularly myself pleased with looking on Betty Turner, who is mighty pretty. After dinner, we fell one to one talk, and another to another, and looking over my house, and closet, and things ; and The. Turner to write a letter to a lady in the country, in which I did, now and then, put in half a dozen words, and sometimes five or six lines, and then she as much, and made up a long and good letter, she being mighty witty really, though troublesome-humoured with it. And thus till night, that our musick come, and the Ofiice ready and candles, and also W. Batelier and his sister Susan come, and also Will. Howe and two gentlemen more, strangers which, at my request yesterday, he did bring to dance, called Mr. Ireton and Mr. Starkey. We fell to dancing, and con- tinued, only with intermission for a good supper, till two in the morning, the musick being Greeting, and another most excellent violin, and theorbo, the best in town. And so with mighty mirth, and pleased with their dancing of jigs, after- 112 DIARY OF [SdMarcB, wards several of them, and, among others, Betty Turner, who did it mighty prettily; and lastly, W.

This done, we parted, the strangers home, and I did lodge my cozen Pepys and his wife in our blue chamber. My cozen Turner, her sister, and The., in our best chamber ; Bab., Betty, and Betty Turner, in our own chamber ; and myself and my wife in the maid's bed, which is very good.

And so I did, to my great content, lodge at once in my house, with the greatest ease, fifteen, and eight of them strangers of quality. My wife this day put on first her French gown, called a sac,^ which becomes her very well, brought her over by W. Batelier. 3d.

Thence to Dancre's, the painter's, and there saw my picture of Greenwich, finished to my very great content, though this manner of distemper do make the figures not so pleasing as in oyle.

The ringleaders, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Wynn, and Mr. Monday, appeared at the Board, attended by counsel, who were beard on their behalf. Upon consideration, it appearing to the King that the matter very much depended upon the right and privilege of bearing up the Lord Mayor's sword within the Temple, which, by order of Council on the 24th March, in the same year, had been left to be decided by due course of law, his Majesty thought fit to suspend the declaration of his pleasure thereupon, until the said right and privilege should be determined at law." Mr. Tyrrel, the City Remembrancer, has obligingly communicated the only two entries relating to the business, exist- ing in the Corporation Records : the first is an order, dated 2.3d March, 1668, for the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Ac, to attend the Council on the following day; and the other directs the Chamberlain to pay the Town Clerk %U.

This news of Sir W. Coventry did strike me to the hea.rt, and with this reason, for hy this and my Lord of Ormond's busi- ness, I do doubt that the Duke of Buckingham will be so flushed, that he will not stop at anything, but be forced to do any thing now, as thinking it not safe to end here ; and, Sir W. Coventry being gone, the King will have no good counsellor left, nor the Duke of York any sure friend to stick to him ; nor any good man will remain to advise what is good. This, therefore, do heartily trouble me as anything that ever I heard. So up into the House, and met with several people ; but the Committee did not meet : and the whole House I find full o f this business of Sir W. Coventry's, and most men very sensible of the cause and effects of it. So, meeting with my Lord Bellassis, he told me the particulars of this matter ; that it arises about a quarrel which Sir W. Coventry had with the Duke of Buckingham about a design between the Duke and Sir Robert Howard, to bring him into a play at the King's house, which W. Coventry not enduring, did by H. Saville send a letter to the Duke of Buckingham, that he did desire to speak with him. Upon which, the Duke of Buckingham did bid Holmes, his champion ever since my Lord Shrewsbury's business,' go to him to do the business ; but H. Saville would not tell it to any but himself, and therefore did go presently to the Duke of Buckingham, and told him that his uncle Coventry was a person of honour, and was sensible of his Grace's liberty taken of abusing him, and that he had a desire of satisfaction, and would fight with him. But that here they were interrupted by my Lord Chamber- lain's coming in, who was commanded to go to bid the Duke of Buckinghan to come to the King, Holmes having disco- vered it. He told me that the King did last night, at the Council, ask the Duke of Buckingham, upon his honour, whether he had received any challenge from W. Coventry? which he confessed that he had ; and when the King, asking W. Coventry, he told him that he did not owne what the Duke of Buckingham had said, though it was not fit for him ' The duel : see 17th Jan., 1667-8, ante. 166&-69.] SAMUEL PBPYS. Hfi to give him a direct contradiction. But, being by the King put upon declaring the truth upon his honour, he answered that he had understood that many hard questions had upon this business been moved to some lawyers, and that therefore he was unwilling to declare any thing that might, from his own mouth, render him obnoxious to his Majesty's displea- sure, and, therefore, prayed to be excused : which the King did think fit to interpret to be a confession, and so gave warrant that night for his commitment to the Tower. Being very much troubled at this, I away by coach homewards, and directly to the Tower, where I find him in one Mr. Bennet's house, son to Major Bayly, one of the Officers of the Ord- nance, in the Brieke Tower:' where I find him busy with my Lord Halifax and his brother; so I would not stay to inter- rupt them, but only to give him comfort, and ofier my service to him, which he kindly and cheerfully received, only owTiing his being troubled for the King his master's displeasure, which, I suppose, is the ordinary form and will of persons in this condition. And so I parted, with great content, that I had so earlily seen him there ; and so going out, did meet Sir Jer. Smith going to meet me, who had newly been with Sir W. Coventry. And so he and I by water to Redrifife, and so walked to Deptford, where I have not been, I think, these twelve months : and there to the Treasurer's house,' where the Duke of York is, and his Duchess : and there we find them at dinner in the great room, unhung ; and there was with them my Lady Duchess of Monmouth, the Countess of Falmouth, Castlemaine, Henrietta Hide^ (my Lady Hinch- inbroke's sister), and my Lady Peterborough.

Called up by Roger Pepys and his son, who to church with me, and then in the afternoon carried them to Westminster, and myself to St. James's, where not finding the Duke of York, back home, and with my wife spent the evening taking the ayre about Hackney, with great pleasure. 24th. To White Hall, where I attended the Duke of York, and was by him led to the King,' who expressed great sense of my misfortune in my eyes, and concernment for their re- covery ; and accordingly signified, not only his assent to my desire therein, but commanded me to give them rest this summer, according to my late petition to the Duke of York. W. Hewer and I dined alone at the Swan; and thence, having thus waited on the King, spent till four o'clock in St. James's Park, when I met my wife at Unthanke's, and so home. 25th. Dined at home ; and the rest of the day, morning and afternoon, at the Office. 26th. To White Hall, where all the morning. Dined with Mr. Cheffinch, with Alderman Backewell, and Spragg. The Court full of the news from Captain Hubbert, of " The Mil- ford," touching his being aflfronted in the Streights, shot at, and having eight of his men killed by a French man-of-war, calling him "English dog," and commanding him to strike, which he refused, and, as knowing himself much too weak for him, made away from him. The Queen, as being supposed with child, fell ill, so as to call for Madam Nun, Mr. Chef- finch's sister, and one of her women, from dinner from us ; this being the last day of her doubtfulness touching her being with child; and they were therein well confirmed by her Majesty's being well again before night.

But he lies now in the lodge, jus- tifying his act, as grounded upon the opinion of several of the Judges, and, among others, my Lord Chief Justice; which makes the King very angry with the Chief Justice, as they say ; and the Justice do lie and justify his act, and says he will suffer in the cause for the people, and do refuse to receive almost any nutriment. The effects of it may be bad to the Court. 29th. Presented this day by Mr. Browne with a book of drawing by him, lately printed,^ which cost me 208., to him. In the afternoon to the Temple, to meet with Auditor Aid- worth^ about my interest account, but failed of meeting him. To visit my cozen Creed, and found her ill at home, being with child, and looks poorly. Thence to her husband, at Gresham College, upon some occasions of Tangier; and so home, with Sir John Bankes with me, to Mark Lane. 28th. To St. James's, where the King's being with the Duke of York prevented a meeting of the Tangier Commission. But, Lord ! what a deal of sorry discourse did I hear between comment, though his tragical end has never been satisfactorily made out. In the Gentleman's Magazine for October 1848, there are some interesting details about the Knight's family, and a description and plate of a silver cup, which seems to have been presented to him by the King for his important services during the Plague and the Fire of London, and is now in the possession of the Corporation of Sudbury. ' One of the King's physicians. ' A curious and uncommon book, entitled "A Oompendioue Drawing-Book, composed by Alexander Browne, limner, collected from the drawings of the most celebrated painters in Europe, engraven by Arnold de Jode." A second edition with letter-press, and additions, was published in 1675, under the title of Art Pictoria. ' Bichard Aldworth, of Stanlake, Berks, then one of the Auditors of the Ex- chequer, represented Reading in the first Parliament after the Kestoration, and died in 1680. He was the paternal ancestor of the second and third Lords Bray- brooke. In 1762, the Auditor's grandson, Eichard Neville Aldworth, succeeded to the estates of the Nevilles of Billingbear, in Berkshire, in right of his mother, who was their sole heir, and whose maiden name he assumed. The Auditor'! portrait, by Lely, is still at Billingbear. 180 D I ART OP [29th May, the King and several Lords about him here ! but very mean, methought. So with Creed to the Excise Office, and back to "White Hall, where, in the Park, Sir Gr. Carteret did give an account of his discourse lately, with the Commissioners of Accounts, who except against many things, but none that I find considerable ; among others, that of the officers of the Navy selling of the King's goods, and particularly my pro- viding him with calico flags, which having been by order, and but once, when necessity, and the King's apparent profit, jus- tified it, as conformable to my particular duty, it will prove to my advantage that it be enquired into. Nevertheless, having this morning received from them a demand of an account of all monies within their cognizance, received and issued by me, I was willing, upon this hint, to give myself rest, by knowing whether their meaning therein might reach only to my Trea- surership for Tangier, or the monies employed on this occa- sion. I went, therefore, to them this afternoon, to understand what monies they meant, where they answered me, by saying, "The eleven months' tax, customs, and prize-money," without mentioning, any more than I demanding, the service they re- spected therein ; and so, without further discourse, we parted, upon very good terms of respect, and with few words, but my mind not fully satisfied about the monies they mean. With my wife and brother spent the evening on the water, carrying our supper with us, as high as Chelsea, making sport with the Westerne bargees,' and my wife and I singing, to my great content. 29th. The King's birth-day. To White Hall, where all very gay ; and particularly the. Prince of Tuscany very fine, and is the first day of his appearing out of mourning, since he came. I hear the Bishop of Peterborough^ preach but dully ; but a good anthem of Pelham's.

Coventry, -vrhere all the morning by his bed-side, he being indisposed. Our discourse was upon the notes I have lately prepared for Commanders' Instructions ; but concluded that nothing will render them effectual, without an amendment in the choice of them, that they be seamen, and not gentlemen above the command of the Admiral, by the greatness of their relations at Court. Thence to White Hall, and dined with Mr. Cheffinch and his sister ; whither by and by came in Mr. Progers and Sir Thomas Allen, and by and by, fine Mrs. Wells,' who is a great beauty ; and there I had my full gaze upon her, to my great content, she being a woman of pretty conversation. Thence to the Duke of York, who, with the oflBcers of the Navy, made a good entrance on my draught of my new Instructions to Commanders, as well expressing his general views of a reformation among them, as liking of my humble offers towards it. Thence being called by my wife, we to the Park, whence the rain sent us suddenly home. Slst. Up very betimes, and continued all the morning with W. Hewer, upon examining and stating my accounts, in order to the fitting myself to go abroad beyond sea, which the ill condition of my eyes, and my neglect for a year or two, hath kept me behind-hand in, and so as to render it very difficult now, and troublesome to my mind to do it ; but I this day made a satisfactory entrance therein. Had another meeting with the Duke of York, at White Hall, on yesterday's work, and made a good advance : and so, being called by my wife, we to the Park, Mary "Batelier, and a Dutch gentleman, a friend of hers, being with us. Thence to "The World's End," a drinking-house by the Park ; and there merry, and so home late. And thus ends all that I doubt I shall ever be able to do with my own eyes in the keeping of my Journal, I being not able to do it any longer, having done now so long as to undo my eyes almost every time that I take a pen in my hand ; and, therefore, whatever comes of it, I must forbear : and, ' See 8th February, 1662-3. 16* 182 DIARY OP SAMUEL PEPYS.

Dr. Burnet, who undertook to secure me against any infection, having survived the month of his own house being shut up, died himself of the plague : till the nights, though much lengthened, are grown too short to conceal the burials of those that died the day before, people being thereby Con- strained to borrow daylight for that service : lastly, till I could find neither meat nor drink safe, the butcheries being every where visited, my brewer's house shut up, and my baker, with his whole family, dead of the plague.

Upon inquiry, we found tliat it was the child of a, very able citizen in Gracious Street, who having lost already all the rest of his children, and himself and wife being shut up and in despair of escaping, implored only the liberty of using the means for the saving of this only babe, which with diflBculty was allowed, and they suffered to deliver it, stripped naked, out at a window into the arms of a friend, who, shifting into fresh cloathes, con- veyed it thus to Greenwich, where, upon this information from Alderman Hooker,' we suffer it to remain. This I tell your Ladyship as one instance of the miserable streights our poor neighbours are reduced to. But, Madam, I'll go no further in this disagreeable discourse, hoping, from the coolness of the last 7 or 8 days, my next may bring you a more welcome accompt of the lessening of the disease, which God say Amen to. Dear Madam, do me right to my good Lady Slaning, in telling her that I have sent and sent again to Mr. Porter's lodging, who is in the country, for an answer to my letter about her Ladyship's business, but am yet unable to give her any accompt of it. My wife joins with me in ten thousand happy wishes to the young couple, and as many humble services to your Ladyship and them, my Lady Slaning, Lady Scott, and Mr. Sidney, whose return to Scott' s-hall, if not burdensome to your Ladyship, will, I am sure, be as full of content to him as it will ever be of joy and honour to me to be esteemed, Dearest Madam, Tour Ladyship's most affectionate and obedient servant, Samuel Pepts.

Some recompences I well remember, in the Dutch warre, which much exceeded those sette down, as to Capt° Ball 1200Z., aud others in the same booke and foUo. If I were at , St. James's, my notes would referre mee to it; but these may bee more proper for the ordinary rewards, which God send the King may goe through with ; for the extraordinary, hee may doe as hee pleaseth upon emergencies. I am glad Sear- Admiral Harman has sailed : if God send him good lacke, I hope our reputation may out-goe the Dutch yet. ' See Diary, 3d September, 1665. 17* 194 CORRESPONDENCE OF For the close of the yeare, I thinke such a Committee of Com manders as my Lord Sandwich mentions may bee very good, if well chosen : pray desire my Lord he propose some fitt men for it I did send to tempt the Commanders in the fleet to enquire into the vast and extravagant expence of victuals, but could gett noe returne of it. Something Sir W" Penn hath sent me, a draught for a Sup- plimentall Instruction to Commanders, of which, either by this or the next conveyance, you shall have a copy. It is not hard to make good rules, but to gett them executed is the difficulty, especially when there is soe much worke to doe, and that Commanders and all sort of Officers knowe their owne value enough to beleeve that the King would not easily part with a good fighting Captain for a neglect of keeping a good checque upon his Purser. However, pray lett us try what can bee done in itt : possibly, when the rule comes recommended from the Commanders themselves, it will bee better observed. I will alsoe write to my Lord Stanwich about it. My last gave you my reasons against your coming hither : because Sir G Carteret was gone to London to gett money, and, at the time of his being there, I held your presence necessary there. For God's sake, hasten some clothes to Portmouth. If the Board be satisfied in the need of a Boatswain of the Yard at Harwich as yett, I shall be ready to procure the warrant for any man whoe shall be well certified for it. For the matter of hempe, all I can say is, oportet haheri; and then, redime te, capium quam queas minimo. If money bee not speedily procured, I expect every day shall pro duce worse and worse efiects : but I hope Mr. Vice-Chamberlaine' will cure all that mischeife. I am sorry Sir W" Batten hath bin soe rudely handeled, and that the Office hath lost its security. I hope a supply of money will sett it all right; and could heartily wish the Court were neerer London, to bee ready both to advise and execute better then at this distance wee can doe. I hope a little more decrease of the plague will make somebody valiant enough to advise it ; though, it concerning his Majesty's and his Royal Highness's safety, I am not soe corragious, , at least as yett, though I con- fesse I wish it. The expedient you offer of buying the seamen's ticketts, if it were certaine that it would bee exactly and sacredly executed, were an excellent one, and worthy the King's paying the abatement, that soe the seamen might receave the whole, which is above all to be endeavoured : but though I have a good opinion of the person you named, yet I cannot say I am sure noe more profitt should bee made, and nothing abated, unlesse there were a place appointed, and a sett hire for it; when a clarke, or some trusty ' Sir G. Carteret. SAMUEL PBPTS. 195 person, might attend to see it done. What shall be approved foi one man in this matter, will soone bee altered for others also, and at last it will fall into hands to make ill use of it. Why might not the money be as well paid to the Treasurer, and then issued only for tioketts ? but, I suppose, the answer may bee, money will thus issue only by small summes, and soe easier compassed. To that I can reply nothing, but that, if it can bee done noe otherwise to take oflF the reproach to the King's service, and abuse to the seamen, I am of opinion there ought to be a ohecque upon it. If you think fitt to speake with Sir Gr. Carteret upon it, perhaps some good may come of it. If any thing bee done, pray lett me heare. I am cleare of opinion the King had better beare twice the loss of 12d. per T. than lett the seamen bear itt. It is most necessary the men to the westward should bee then supplied with clothes : it is well if the slopsellers can furnish the rest of the ships. If Sir John Skelton or any else can furnish them, hee shall doe a good service. If the price were greater, and the cloathes better, the seamen would bee a gainer. I shall, the first Councill day, propose Mr. Furier's complaint of the Justice. I doubt I have burned Captain Reynolds his letter of his bravo retreate from the Dutch fleet : if I find it I will send it to you, but I think it will not conduce to your purpose, hee having been only at Hull, as I conceave, and not at Newcastle, where, I suppose, M' Deering's ships are. I am, your affectionate humble Servant, W. Coventry. According to the hopes there may be of having the ships ready, which are building at or neere Bristoll, so must there be provision made of viotnalls for them at Bristoll, and not at Milford, that soe noe time may bee lost to run from one port to another for victualls. Pray know by what time each contract-ship building may be ready, and send me word how many ships we expect to bee built in all, for I think some were ordered and others forbid after I went to sea. Sir W" Penn hath sent me reasons which seem to me of good force for paying the Soveraigne by tioketts, rather than by a pay at Chatham. I hope the Board will think so.

I am not without hopes of getting leave to wait upon your Lordship before you reach London ; therefore shall spare the troubling your Lordship with any other present matters, than that being yesterday made acquainted by my Lord of Hinchingbroke, and Mr. Sidney Montagu, with the straights they found themselves under of providing a sum of money for the answering your Lordship's present occasions; and, being unwilling your Lordship should want what part thereof I could by any shift supply, I undertook, for the present, furnishing your Lordship with 500Z. ; and not knowing what present use thereof your Lordship might have at Portsmouth, nor what conveniencies my Lord of Hinchingbroke might have of a speedy remitting any thither, I acquainted his Lordship this night, that I wonld take care for your Lordship's being furnished with 200?. there; which ' Vasari, (vol. xiv. p. 165, ed. Milano, 1811,) relates that Michael Angelo, being much displeased by the remarks made by Biagio da Gesena, Master of the Ceremonies, on the nudities of the Last Judgment, then nearly completed, painted him as Minos, with a great tail coiled round his body. Messer Biagio complained to the Pope (Panl III.), asking for redress. His Holiness enquired where he w«s represented. The other replied "In Hell." "Ah," said the Pope, " if you were only in Purgatory I might help you, but in Hell nulla est redemptio !" This is evidently the story mentioned by Pepys.

The present expe- dient is the putting what interest and force hee can for the getting the Solicitor elected at Lyn. Yet in that particular hee conflicts with a great dilemma; because Cook, a youth of the principall estate in Norfolk, stands at Lyn, and his Lordship is tender of giving him an opposition there, because the gent, of the countrie doe alreadie murmur at his disposing those places, upon which hee hath a full and perticular influence, upon strangers and courtiers, neglecting gentlemen of the countrie, who hold them- selves disobliged thereby; and are more reasonably, perhaps, dis SAMUEL PEPYS. 205 satisfied, that he conoernes himself at Lyn also, where hee ought to leave them to a free competition, without concerning himself.

Derby House, 22d February, 1677-8. My Lord — I am greatly owing to your Lordship for your last favour at St. John's, and did, till now, reckon myself under no less a debt to my Ladies for the honour at the same time done me, in their commands touching Mr. Bonithan. But, my Lord, I have lately had the misfortune of being undeceived in the latter, by coming to know the severity with which some of my Ladies are pleased to discourse of me in relation thereto. I assure your Lordship, I was so big with the satisfaction of having an oppor- tunity given me by my Ladies at once of obliging them, paying a small respect to you, and doing a good office to a deserving gen- tleman, that I did not let one day pass before I had bespoke and obtained his Majesty's and Eoyal Highness's promise of favour in Mr. Bonithan's behalf : and was so far afterwards from failing him in my further assistances with Captain Trevanion and others, that I took early care to secure him a lieutenancy, by a commission actually signed for him by the King, in the ship Stavereene, rely- ing upon the character Captain Trevanion had given me of his capacity to abide the examination, established by the King, upon the promotion of lieutenants; which was not only the most I should have done in the case of a brother, but more than ever I did in any man's case before, or, for his sake, do think I shall ever do again. True it is, my Lord, that when, upon his examination by the officers of the Navy, he was found not so fully qualified for the office of lieutenant as was requisite, I did with all respect, and to his seeming satisfaction, advise him to pass a little longer time in the condition he was then in, under a stricter application of himself to the practice of navigation. And, in pursuance of my duty to the King, I did acquaint him also with Mr. Bonithan's present unreadiness; and had, therefore, a command given me for conferring the commission prepared for him upon another, who, SAMUEL PBPTS. 207 upon examination, at the same time with Mr. Bonithan, was found better qualified for it.' As to what I understand my Ladies are pleased to entertain themselves and others with, to my reproach, as if money had been wanting in the case, it is a reproach lost upon me, my Lord, who am known to be so far from needing any purgation in the point of selling places, as never to have taken so much as ray fee for a commission or warrant to any one officer in the navy, within the whole time, now near twenty years, that I have had the honour of serving His Majesty therein — a self-denial at this day so little in fashion, and yet so chargeable to maintain, that I take no pride, and as little pleasure, in the mentioning it, further than it happily falls in here to my defence against the mis- take the Ladies seem disposed to arraign me by on this occasion. Besides that, in the particular case of this gentleman, Lieut. Beele, who enjoys the commission designed for Mr. Bonithan, he is one whose face I never saw either before or since the time of his receiving it, nor know one friend he has in the world to whom he owes this benefit, other than the King's justice, and his own modest merit : which, having said, it remains only that I assure your Lordship what I have so said, is not calculated with any regard to, much less any repining at, the usage the ladies are pleased to show me in this affair, for 'tis fit I bear it, but to acquit myself to your Lordship in my demeanour towards them, as becomes their and, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient Servant, S.

Good Cousin — I do kindly thank you for your letter of yesterday, assuring you that I am not surprised, much less under any disap- pointment from the contents of it ; I knowing the world too well to expect more than is to be found in it : and I think mine to you did enough to show you what I asked was rather out of respect to the town of Castle Rising, as having once been their servant,' than from any such advantage I propose to myself by it, as would suffer me to give way to your entering upon any expense for it : I having the good fortune of being so much better understood elsewhere, as to have at this time invitations from the magistracy of no less than three* several Corporations of somewhat greater names, though not more in my esteem than that of theirs, to accept of their elections. Therefore, pray be under no further care on my behalf in this matter ; the satisfaction of having discharged my duty to the gentlemen of Castle Rising being all I aim at, without troubling myself to reflect upon any forgetfulness on their parts towards me.

May it please your Royal Highness — I acknowledge with all humility and thankfulness, the honour of your Highness's letters of the 24th and 25th of the last, and do, with equal shame and grief, observe how much your Highness's solicitude, even at this distance, for the security of this kingdom against the power of France, does exceed all that we ourselves have yet expressed upon that subject, otherwise than by a general but inactive restlessness under our ap- prehensions of the danger ; but without any alteration made, since your Koyal Highness's departure, in the state of our ships or coasts, other than what is consequential to their having Iain so much longer neglected. Sir John Narborough's last letters were of the 7th and 17th of March, from Alicant, where, having newly met with his Majesty's orders for his coming home, after a short visit to Algiers, he therein told me he would accordingly proceed forthwith to Port Mahon, for the settling some matters in that place, and from thence to Algiers ; so as to be at Tangier, in his way homeward, about the 7th of April. Since which, though we have wanted advice from him wholly, yet, by a letter I have seen from a slave at Algier, of the 1st of April, it appears that he came before that town on the 25th, and departed the 29th of March, after having sent two of his captains ashore, to treat of a peace, but without effect. This only is added by the slave, that, had Sir John Narborough staid one day more in the road, those of Algiers had certainly made a peace with him, that Government having, it seems, afterwards expressed some trouble that it was not done ; by which calculation of time we may now, from day to day, expect his being here. I have remembered your Highness's command in reference to Captain Lloyd's being appointed one of the Newfoundland convoys, which his Majesty has been pleased to agree to, in company with Captain Talbot, in the Mary Rose, Captain Priestmau, in the Ante- lope, and Captaij Kempthorne, in the Dover, and will take care that Mr. Hickman be entertained as a volunteer with Captain Lloyd. How his Majesty has been pleased, among his other great changes, to dispose of the Admiralty, by a new Commission to these SAMUEL PBPTS. 213 gentlemen, viz., Sir Henry Capel, Mr. Dan. Finch, Sir Tho. Ley, Sir Thomas Meres, Mr. Vaughan, Sir Hum. Winch, and Mr. Hales, of Kent, your Highness, I doubt not, has many days since known ; nor shall I think it becoming me to interpose any thoughts of mine touching his Majesty's choice therein, more than for his, and his service's sake, I could wish his naval arrangements to be such as for a time might allow these worthy gentlemen opportunity of being informed in the work of their great oflBce, before they be urged to much execution in it. And this I am the bolder in wishing, since they have taken upon themselves the performance of that branch of the Admiral's task which his Majesty was pleased, for the ease of his last Commissioners, to reserve the trouble of to himself, namely, the issuing all sailing instructions to his fleet and ships ; his Majesty having, at the instance of these gentlemen, put that part also in their hands, together with the granting of all officers in the navy, in the same manner as it has at any time been exercised by the Lords Admirals of England. For what concerns my own particular, your Highness was pleased to foretell me, at your going hence, what I was soon after to look for ; and it is come to pass. For whether I will or no, a Papist I must be, because favoured by your Koyal Highness, and found endeavouring, on all fitting occasions, to express, in the best manner I can, the duty and gratitude due to your Highness from me. But how injuriously soever some would make those just endeavours of mine towards your Highness inconsistent with Protestancy, neither they, nor any ill usage I can receive from them, shall, by the grace of God, make me any more quit the one, than I suspect your Koyal Highness will ever take offence at my perseverance in the other. His Majesty is, indeed, pleased to express a much more favourable opinion of me, and my slender qualifications for his service, than I dare own my right to ; and, as an instance thereof, has not spared to tell me how much weight he is pleased to place upon my experience in the Navy, for supplying, by my Secretaryship, what his present choice of Commissioners may possibly be found less perfect in : nor shall I think it becoming me to dispute the giving his Majesty my service on whatsoever terms he shall think fit to require it from me. But, as your Royal Highness well knows how far I had, not long since, made it my humble motion, and pressed it upon your favour, that after almost twenty years' continued drudgery in the Navy, to the rendering myself almost blind, and otherwise disabled in health to support it much longer, his Majesty would be pleased to take the residue of my small service by admitting me into the Commis- gion of the Admiralty : so truly. Sir, I have now, upon other cbn- VoL. IV. — 19 214 CORRESPONDEXCB OP siderations purely relative to his service, made the same motion to the King, upon occasion of this change. For if I was truly con- scious of being become less able to bear the fatigue of my office any longer, under a Commission that had many members of it compe- tently furnished for its execution, besides the easy and helpful re- course I had at all times had to his Majesty himself, and your Koyal Highness, in matters needing it, and those, as old a Navy- man as I am, not a few, how much less fit ought I to think myself to go through this task, when, not only stripped of all those helps, but, to say no worse, charged with a new piece of duty, and that not a little one, of informing those who should inform and are to command me ; and I to remain accountable for all the ill success that should attend my obeying those commands, though probably differing from my own advice. Besides, however fairly some of these gentlemen seemed disposed towards my continuance in this Secretaryship, yet that compliance of theirs I well know to be grounded upon some opinion they have of the necessaryncss of my serviee to them till they have obtained a stock of knowledge of their own ; and then farewell ! But others there be, with whom your Royal Highness knows, (what converts soever they are now to be thought !) I have for many years lived in a constant state of war, they censuring, and I defending the management of the navy; and with such success on the navy's side, as to have always met with too great an appearance of His Majesty's well accepting my humble endeavours therein, that, however our conjunction may now succeed in reference to His Majesty's service, I should not promise myself any satisfaction from them, especially upon terms so unequal, as my being brought down to be a servant to them, when the dignity of the trust I have so long had the honour of serving His Majesty in, might, I hope, be thought to have set me upon a level with them. Whereto I have humbly to add, what some have not spared pub- licly to let fly in opposition to my continuance in this ofiioe, namely, that so long as Mr. Pepys should be there, his Royal Highness re- mains in effect Admiral. In which, though they do me a much greater honour than either I deserve, or their malignity intends me, yet. Sir, I cannot but so far consider the importance of having all rubs removed, which may be either of impediment to the happy going on of this great part of the King's service, or give any un- necessary occasion of keeping alive the jealousies touching your Roya. Highness, that if His Majesty may as well secure to himself the full use of my service, and your Royal Highness receive no less content from my being in the Commission than in my present post, which you were pleased, upon my former motion to that purpose, to express your well-liking of, I see no inconvenience, but to my- SAMUEL PEPTS. 215 self, likely to arise from his Majesty's giving them the satisfaction of his withdrawing me from this odious Secretaryship; I being for these reasons not only contented to submit to, but desire it, and shall be most ready to give my assistance in this Commission with the same faithfulness and industry, though not with the same private satisfaction wherewith I ought, and should, were your Royal High- ness at the head of it. Which having said, I make it my humble prayer to your Royal Highness to interpret with your usual justice my deliberation upon this subject, pardoning aught that shall happen not to find your full liking, as being designed most entirely for the benefit of His Majesty's service. But if it shall be my better for- tune to meet with your Royal Highness's approbation in what I have here humbly offered, I then make it my suit to your Royal High- ness, that you will be pleased to consider how far it may be fit for your Royal Highness to enforce from yourself this my humble pro- posal to His Majesty, for my being transferred from the Secretary- ship into the Commission ; your Royal Highness well knowing, that, however bounteous you have been to me in your frequent callings on me, to the improvement of your favours to my benefit with His Majesty, I have never to this day done it to the obtaining sixpence from the Crown by any boon extraordinary beyond the plain allow- ance of my office, and not that neither ; yet by much more than all I have else reserved in the world to depend upon, as your Highness was pleased to be informed from me by particulars, and from you the King, just before your going. So as, while the sincerity of my wishes for the weal of his service prompts me to this voluntary di- vesting myself of my present employment, I should be in very ill condition to bear its not being made up to me by His Majesty grant- ing, for his service's sake, as well as in justice to your Royal High- ness's mediation, and his own promises in my favour, the latter part of my motion for his placing me in the Commission, or at least making some other provision for me as one superannuated in his service. Wherein, nevertheless, submitting myself still to your Royal Highness's disposal, and beseeching Almighty God to put some timely bounds to your misfortunes, whatever becomes of mine, 1, in all humility, remain.

I hope your Majesty will pardon me for writing to you in behalf of an old servant of yours in the Navy, that has long and faithfully served you. It is Mr. Pepys, who now, upon this change in the Admiralty, is like to suffer, without your Majesty's favour ; and truly, I think, should he be quite laid aside, I believe the service there would not be so well carried on, and those who are named to be Commissioners of the Admiralty, though in other affairs they are very able men, yet must needs be very raw in that, and will want one amongst them that understands it ; therefore, what I have humbly to offer to your Majesty in Mr. Pepys's behalf is, that you will be pleased to add him to that Commission, and let him be one of their number. Sure none can find fault with your Majesty's doing it for him, when they consider his long service in the Navy, and that you do it for him as a recompence to him for all his ser- vices. And, besides, I think it very necessary for your service always, and the easiest and less chargeable way of doing some- thing for him that can be thought on ; for give me leave to say, your Majesty is bound to , do something for him that has spent so many years in your service to your satisfaction. Pray, Sir, pardon me for being earnest in this affair ; I can never help being so where I think your honour concerned, and I wish all your subjects were as true Englishmen, and as dutiful and loyal as I am, and shall ever be.

May it please your Royal Highness — I should not have thought it in any wise becoming me to trouble your Eoyal Highness with the notice of any thing relating to the present diflSculties I lie under, otherwise than as they serve for the necessary excuse of my no earlier owning the favour of your Royal Highness' s, by Captain Sanders, which found me in the custody, under which I, with Sir Anthony Deane, do now remain, upon no less suggestions than those of popery, felony, piracy, and treason, but so grounded as to render it hard for me to tell your Royal Highness which of the two enjoys the greater pleasure : whether Mr. Harbord in public, from the contemplation of the conquest his malace has obtained over me, or I in private, from what my innocence tells me I shall, some time or other, if any justice may be hoped for, obtain against him. Hardships, however, I do and shall suffer contentedly; and the more in that I had the honour of having my duty to your Royal Highness assigned for the real cause of what my adversaries are pleased artificially to pretend, of Popery, and other like chimeras : for begging your Royal Highness to believe that, as your Royal Highness shall never receive any dishonour from the favour you have been observed to incline towards me, so neither shall any of the hard usages which the malignity of some, or want of information in others, can subject me to, render me either less zealous in my duty and allegiance to my Royal Master, or less forward in the payment of that gratitude, which even that Protestancy of mine the world would be thought so doubtful of, exacts from me towards your Highness, and shall have it to the last point of my fortune and life. For what concerns your Royal Highness's particular goodness to me, in your late letter to His Majesty, the condition I am in puts it out of my power to apply it to my benefit; but not so as to make me any thing doubtful of the fruits of it in His Majesty's justice, so soon as the justice I am waiting for from lower hands shall put me into a capacity of asking it.

As for what you propose, for the Commanders and OflBcers of the Fleet to present such an Address to His Majesty, I do not think it necessary, nor indeed proper, since there can be no doubt of their loyalty , and that it is not necessary or usual for people to doubt of such as have such immediate dependanoe, or are in pay ; and I think what has been done by the Trinity House is suflScient for the seamen : I wish all the landmen would do their parts as well.

Sir — ^In consequence of your commands, &c., I have sent you already two large sea-charts, and now, with a third, I transmit the sheets I have long since blotted about the late Dutch war; for which I should yet make another apology, besides its preface, were it not that you well understand the prejudices I lay under at that time, by the inspection of my Lord Treasurer Clifford, who would not endure I should moderate my style when the difference with Holland was to be the subject, nor with much patience suffer that Prance should be suspected, though in justice to truth, evident as the day, I neither would nor could conceal what all the world must see; how subdolously they dealt, and made us their property all along. The interception of letter to his master, p. 260, is abundantly pregnant of this, and ought to open our eyes, unless it be that we design to truckle under that power, and seek our ruin with industry. Sir, you will pardon this severe reflection, since I cannot think of it without emotion. Now, as to the compiler's province, it is not easily to be imagined ' Jane, daughter of Robert Bickerton, second wife of Henry, sixth Duke of Norfolk, described in the Peerage as "a lady famed for her beauty and accom- plishments," amongst which orthography, certainly, was not included.

This, Sir, I dare pronounce, you will find before you have prepared all your materiam ahstructam for the noble and useful work you are meditating.' Nor did I desist here, but had likewise made pro- vision for that which was to follow the Treaty of Breda ; though I honestly restored every scrip that had been furnished me from the cabinets of the Secretaries, and other persons, which were originals; yet blame myself for returning those letters and pieces I received from my Lord Treasurer, because I think I might have retained them with better confidence than he to carry them away with him into Devonshire, unde nulli retrorsum. That I did not proceed with the rest is accountable to his successor,' who, cutting me short of some honest pretensions I had to his kindness more than ordinary, if you knew all, I cared not to oblige an ungrateful age, and perhaps the world is delivered from a fardle of imperti- nences. Clifford, his predecessor, was, abating his other imper- fections, a generous man, friendly to me, and I verily believe of clean hands : I am sure I am obliged to him ; the other had been 80 to nie and mine. A haughty spirit is seldom accompanied with generosity; but that is all past. I know it has been wondered upon what pretence I should have sought to sit at the Navy Board ; and I have been as much astonished why some Honoraries, who sat long there, were no more industrious or useful than haply I should have been, whilst to commute for my ignorance of wear and tear, I might yet, perhaps, have been subservient to such a genius as Mr. Pepys ; and by his direction and converse, not altogether an unprofitable member.

My Lord — The King received the Duke at his coming with all expressions of kindness ; and though the Duke was pleased to tell me last night that the King, whose commands should ever be his guide, had not yet declared any thing of his pleasure touching his stay here, and remove hence with him to London, yet I find every body concluding, and all things in appearance concurring, that he shall do both. So that I believe your Lordship will be eased of a journey hither, which truly would be found very troublesome to you, and your accommodations here very uneasy, the town being already very full, and hourly filling. Besides that, I have to tell you from the Duke, upon my delivering him the message you in- trusted me with, that he is most sensible of your particular duty and good will to him (they are his own words), and that he wants not, and therefore would by no means have you think of giving him so inconvenient a proof of it, as he apprehends your visiting him here might prove to you in your health; rather desiring you, for that reason, to respite it till he can meet you at White-Hall. Mr. Pearce, however, I find mighty thoughtful and inquisitive after accommoda- tions for your Lordship ; but I doubt not but a day or two more will put you and us out of all fear of needing it : for I am already satisfied that the Duke will not return to Scotland without seeing London, nor then, I hope, but to fetch the Duchess; our Ministers being in all ap- pearance very respectful and obsequious to him, and that squabble about the inn adjusted, my Lord Conway most readily rectifying the mistakes his servants had made, at his first coming, in that matter.

Sir — Considering how far your laudable zeal still extends to all things that any way concern the actions of this nation at sea, and that you despise not the least things that may possibly be of use, I make no scruple of sending you all my blotted fragments, which yet with no small pains you will find I had collected, in order to a further progress in the History of the Dutch War. I should be perfectly ashamed of the farrago, when I reflect upon the more precious materials you have amassed ; but you know where Virgil found gold, and you will consider that these were only minutes and tumultuary hints relating to ampler pieces, infirm and unfit to be put into the building, but prepared to work on. It is not imaginable to those who have not tried, what labours an historian that would be exact is condemned to ; he must read all, good and bad, and remove a world of rubbish before be can lay the foundation. So far I had gone, and it was well for me I went no farther, and better for the reader on many accounts, as I am sure you find by what I have already been so weak as to show you ; and yet I cannot forbear. You will find, among the rest, in a little essay, how what I have written in English would show in Latin, ashamed as I was to see the history of that war published in that universal and learned language, and that in just and specious volumes, whilst we only told our tale to ourselves, and suSered the indignities of those who prepossessed the world to our prejudice; and you know how difficult a thing it is to play an after-game, when men's minds are perverted, and their judgments prepossessed. Our sloth and silence in this diffusive age, greedy of intelligence and public affairs, is a great fault, and I wonder our politicians that are at the helm take no more care of it, since we see what advantages reputation alone carries with it in Holland, Genoa, Venice, and even our East India Commission ; whereas, all wise men know they are neither so rich, ' Nell Gwyn.

It was on this aooount I chose the action at Bergen; not that 1 thought it to be the most glorious or discreet, for in truth I think much otherwise, but for that the exploit was entire, and because I bad seen what the Dane had published in Latin much to cur dishonour. How close I have kept to my text you will find by collation, and whether nervous and sound, none can better ' judge. That I did not proceed need not be told you. The peace was concluded ; my patron resigned his staff : his successor was unkind and unjust to me. The Dutch Embassador complained of my Treatise of Commerce and Navigation, which was intended but for a prolusion, and published by His Ma''"' encouragement before the peace was quite ratified, though not publicly till after- wards. In sum, I had no thanks for what I had done, and have been accounted since, I suppose, an useless fop, and fit only to plant coleworts, and I cannot bend to mean submissions; and this, Sir, is the history of the Historian. I confess to you, I had once the vanity to hope, had my patron continued in his station, for some, at least, honorary title that might have animated my progress, as seeing then some amongst them whose talents I did not envy : but it was not my fortune to succeed. If I were a young man, and had the vanity to believe any industry of mine might recommend me to the friendship and esteem of M' Pepys, as I take him to be of a more enlarged and generous soul, so I should not doubt but he would promote this ambition of mine, and not think one that would labour for the honour of his country, in my way, unworthy some regard. This almost prompts me to say the same to him that Joseph did to Pharaoh's exauctorated butler, whose restoration to grace he predicted, — " Tantum memento mei cum bene tibi fuerit." And so farewell.

Mr. Hewer — After having told you that the Duke is well, and then, myself, I may safely take notice to you of what will, I know, soon become the talk of the town, and be very differently enter- tained by it ; but be their constructions of it what the worst part of them please, our solace must be that the Duke is well arrived here though with a greater loss in his train than we can yet make any just computation of, by reason of the Kitchin Yacht not being Vol. IV. — 20 226 COREESPONDBNCE OP yet come in ; which, of all the yachts, had most opportunity of saving men, as lying nearest and longest about the wreck of the Gloucester, which struck upon the edge of the (Well, some say; Lemmon, say others,) about 5 in the morning, on Friday last, from an obstinate over-winning of the pilot, in opposition to all the con- trary opinions of Sir J. Berry, his master, mates, Col. Legg, the Duke himself, and several others, concurring unanimously in our not being yet clear of the sands, and therefore advising for his standing longer out to sea. The pilot is one Ayres, a man that has heretofore served the Duke as pilot in the war, and in his voyage hither, and one greatly valued as such by him : but this, however, has fallen out, and will, as it ought, be strictly inquired into, the man being, as is said, saved, and could it be regularly done would be tried and hanged here, for the nearer satisfaction of those great families of this king- dom, who, it is feared, would be found the greatest sufferers in this calamity ;' and among others, my Lord Roxborough, one of the flowers of this nobility, not yet heard of, nor Mr. Hyde, my Lord Hyde's brother, lieutenant of the ship ; though Sir J. Berry is, and is very well spoken of by His Royal Highness, for his comportment in this business, though unfortunate. I told you, in a line by Mr. Proud, that though I had abundant invitation to have gone on board the Duke, I chose rather, for room's sake and accommodation, to keep my yacht, where I had nobody but Sir Christopher Musgrove and our servants with me ; the Master of the Ordnance being obliged, by his indispensable attendance on his Highness, to leave us. Our fortune was, and the rest of the yachts, to be near the Glou- tester when she struck ; between which and her final sinking, there passed not, I believe, a full hour ; the Duke and all about him being n bed, and, to show his security, the pilot himself, till waking by ler knocks. The Duke himself, by the single care of Col. Legg, was first sent ff in a boat, with none but Mr. ChurchilP in her, to prevent his being oppressed with men labouring their escapes : some two or three, however, did fling themselves after him into her, and my Lord President' of Scotland, by the Duke's advice, endeavoured it, but, falling short, was taken up out of the water by him. Mr. Legg (then) looking after his own safety, got into a boat, and was received on board us with Capt. Macdonnell, Mr. Fortry, ' It seems the pilot was to be hanged, whether he deserved it or not, for tha latie/uotion of the relations of the young aristocrats who were lost in the Q-lou- eest&r.

Had this fallen out but two hours sooner in the morning, or the yachts at the usual distance they had all the time before been, the Duke himself and every soul had perished; nor ought I to be less sensible of God's immediate mercy to myself, in directing me, contrary to my purpose at my first coming out, and the Duke's kind welcome to me when on board him in the Kiver, to keep to the yacht ; for many will, I doubt, be found lost, as well or better qualified for saving themselves, by swimming and otherwise, than I might have been. Capt. Wyborne, in the Happy Return, was the only frigate near us, and she, indeed, in no less danger than the Glloueester; but, taking quick notice of the other's mishaps, dropped presently her anchor, and is this morning, with the Kitchen Yacht, come safe in harbour; and by her we now know that very many are lost; I judge about 200 men : but particulars are not yet fully known, only my Lord Koxborough and Lord Hopton are certainly gone, and our young English Lord O'Brian.' The haste the express is going away in will not allow me to write to my Lord Brouncker now ; but pray give him my most humble services, and communicate this to his Lordship, and the like to Crutohed Friars, Winchester Street, and Portugal Row, as soon as you conveniently can, to remove any causeless care con- cerning me, giving my Lord Brouncker a hint, and my thinking it very expedient in itself and regardful in him towards the Duke, that some inquiry be made into the care the Navy Office will be found to have used in providing for his safety and ship, with respect to the appointment of good and a sufficient number of pilots on this occasion ; for I hear something muttered here about it and it will not, I doubt, be judged enough for them to leave it to the Duke to take whom he pleased, or might possibly be other- wise advised to, without interposing some immediate care of their own in it, as I am sure was heretofore done in my time, upon his geing to sea. I do privately think it will be very well received by His Highness, to hear of his Lordship's interesting himself of his own accord i n this inquiry.

Tou cannot imagine in what consternation all your friends in generall were, upon the reporte of your being cast away, but more especially those at Crutched Fryars, Winchester Street, and Portugal Rowe, to whom I communicated your letter, which was matter of noe small joy and satisfaction to them : they all joyne with me in returning Grod Almighty thanks for his great mercy in directing you in your passage as he did. My Lord Brouncker, to whome I communicated your letter and command, was not a little glad to heare of your safety, returning you very kinde thanks for your hints, which he will make use of.

Sir John Banks took very kindly my waiting on him with the account you gave, he having not met with any that was soe parti- cular ; and being to dine with my Lord Chancellor to-day, where Mr. Seynioure was to be, he did very much press me to give him au extract of your letter relateing to the loss of the Gloucester, and the circumstances thereof, which I did doe, leaving out all that related to yourselfe, and the hints to my Lord Brouncker. Pray present my very humble service to Mr. Legg, whose great ' Colonel Soott had accused Pepys of popery and treason : see Life, vol. i. In the Intelligertcer of May 20, 1681, is the following advertisement for his apprehen- sion : — " The last week, one Colonel John Scott took an occasion to kill one John Butler, a hackney-coachman, at the Horse-shoe, on Tower Hill, without any other provocation ('tis said) but refusing to carry him and another gentleman pertaining to the law, from thence to Temple Bar, for Is. 6rf. Amongst the many pranks that he hath played in other countries, 'tis believed this is one of the very worst. He is a very great vindicator of the Salamanca Doctor. He is a lusty tall man, squint-eyed, thin-faced, wears a peruke sometimes, and has a very h look. All good people would do well, if they can, to apprehend him, that he may be brought to justice." This was followed by another advertisement in the same paper of May 23, 1681 : — " In our last, we gave you an account how valiantly Colonel Scott killed Butler the coachman. This is that Scott that cheated the States of Holland of 7000Z., and was hanged in ef&gy at the Hague, in 1672, Afterwards, he went to Paris, and pretended to a person of quality belonging to that Court that he had got several sea-carda, by which he could show them how to burn all his Majesty's navy in their harbours ; but being discovered to be a cheat, was forced to fly. Since the discovery of the Popish plot he came into England, and pretended he had those sea- cards of Sir Anthony Deane and Mr. Pepys, and that they would have the shipB burnt by the French King, and employed him for that purpose. He is also the person that robbed himself In Flanders, to get contribution from the priests and convents. He has played a thousand pranks more, and hath been of Sheriff B — '« [Slingsby Bethel] club lately, and great with all the Popish evidences, plot-drivers, ftnd discoverers." ^ This is another curious specimen of the manner in which justiie was adminis- tered in those days.

And humble Servant, Dartmouth. As Atkins has drawne the order, no Commander's name need now be added, so that you may apply it to whom and when you please. But remember Harry Williams is my old friend, and, since he is in hopes of making his fortune, I would not injure him. B.M.] Letter from Samuel Pepys to , rejecting the designed establishment of Sir William Boreman's Mathematical School at Greenwich. October 10, 1685. Sir — I can't but thank you for the acquaintance you have recom- mended mc to ; and yet I am ready to wish sometimes you had let SAMUEL PEPYS. 233 it alone For I can't putt a book or paper into his hand, out of a desire to entertain him, but he makes one sweat with one confound- ing question or other, before I can get it from him again, even to the putting me sometimes to more torture to find the gentleman a safe answer, than ever Sacheverell or Lee did. Only to-day (I thank him) he has used me very gently, upon occasion of two papers I got him to read to me, the one an account I have lately received from Algiers of the whole proceedings (by way of Journal) of the French fleetes there ; the other, the Statutes designed by Sir Wil- liam Boreman for the government of his new Mathematical School at Greenwiche, in imitation of that of the King's at Christ Hospital. Wherein, asking our young man his advice, as Sir William Boreman does mine, he has given it me with great satisfaction, without put- ting me to any pain about it; only I have promised to carry him down with me next week, when I shall be desired to meet the Founder upon the place. And, indeed, it is a deed of the old man's very praiseworthy. And for the young one, you may be sure I'll keep him my friend (as you counsel me) for fear of his Tales. For, by my conscience, the knave has discovered more of my nakedness than ever you did, or my Lord Shaftesbury either. In a word, I do most- heartily joy you in him, and (as evil as our days are) should not be sorry, you could joy me in such another. And so, God bless your whole fireside, and send you, for their sakes and the King's, a good occasion of removing your three parts a little nearer us. I do most respectfully kiss your hands, and am, your most faithful and most humble Servant, S. Pbpys. P S. — If you have had any occasion of knowing either here or in Ireland, one Mr. Wentworth, a branch of the great Lord Deputy's, who has (or is said so) an estate of about 8 or 900?. per annum in the latter, and was a fellow member of ours towards the latter end (as I take it) of the Long Parliament, a good, sober gentleman in appearance, but at that time a great anti-courtier, pray give me a little light concerning him, both as to the character of the man and his estate, there being an overture depending between him and a relation of a friend of yours and mine, wherein it imports us much to know the truth of both. To-night we have had a mighty musical entertainment at Courl for the welcoming home of the King and Queen, wherein the fre- quent returns of the words, Arms, Beauty, Triumph, Love, Progeny, Peace, Dominion, Glory, &c., had apparently cost our Poet-Prophet more pains to find rhymes than reasons.

Brother St. Michel — I cannot but thank you (though in few words) for your kind enquiry after my health by yours of the 7th inst. It was not without very much ground, that in one of my late letters of general advice to you, I cautioned you against depending upon any support much longer from me, I then feeling what I now cannot hide, I mean, that paine which I at this day labour under (night and day) from a new stone lodged in my kidneys, and an ulcer attending it, with a general decay of my stomach and strength, that cannot be played with long, nor am I solicitous that it should. This satisfaction I have as to your own particular, that I have dis- charged my part of friendship and care towards you and your family, as far as I have been, or could ever hope to be able, were I to live twenty years longer in the Navy ; and to such a degree, as will with good conduct, enable you both to provide well for your family, and at the same time doe your King and country good ser- vice. Wherein I pray God to bless you soe, as that you may neither by any neglect or miscarriage, fayle in the latter, nor by any im- providence (which I must declare to you I am most doubtfull of, and in paine for) live to lament your neglect of my repeated admo- nitions to you touching the latter.

SAMUEL PEPYS. 2S5 B,l. orig.] Sir Sam. Morland to S. Pepys. Satarday, 19 February, 1686-T Sir — ^I went, about 3 or 4 days since, to see what the Commission- ers of the Navy had done upon the order you sent them relating to the new gun carriages, &c, but mett none but S' Jo. Narborough, who told me your order expres't a tryal of shooting to be made like that at Portsmouth, which was impracticable at Deptford ; because shooting with powder only was no tryall, and shooting with bullets too dangerous. And, therefore, his opinion, which he did believe would be the opinion of the whole Board, was, that to each new carriage should be the addition of a windlass, and also the false truck at the end of the carriages ; and that all other things, as eye- bolts, tackles, &c., should be left as they are in the old carriages, till such time as a full tryall be made of the new way, both at sea and in a fight J and then what shall prove to be useless in the old way, may bee wholly left off, and layd aside. I would have wayted on you with this account myself, but I pre- sume you have, ere this time, heard what an unfortunate and fatall accident has lately befallen me, of which I shall give you an abbreviat. About three weeks or a month since, being in very great per- plexities, and almost distracted for want of moneys, my private creditors tormenting me from morning to night, and some of them threatening me with a prison, and having no positive answer from His Majesty about the 1300Z., which the late Lord Treasurer cutt off from my pension so severely, which left a debt upon mee which I was utterly unable to pay, there came a certain person to me whom I bad relieved in a starving condition, and for whom I had done a thousand kindnesses; who pretended in gratitude to help me to a wife who was a very vertuous, pious, and sweet disposi- tion'd lady, and an heiress who had 500Z. per ann. in land of in- heritance, and 4000L in ready money, with the interest since nine years, besides a mortgage upon 300?. p' an. more, with plate, jewels &o. The devil himself could not contrive more probable circumstances than were layd before me ; and when I had often a mind to inquire into the truth, I had no power, believing, for cer- tain reasons, that there were some charms or witchcraft used upon me. And, withall, believing it utterly impossible that a person so obliged should ever be guilty of so black a deed as to betray me in so barbarous a manner, (besides that, I really believ'd it a blessing from Heaven for my charity to that person), I was, about » fortnight since, led as a fool to the stocks, and married a coach- 236 CORRESPONDBNCK OF mans daughter not worth a shilling, and odc who, about 9 months since, was brought to bed of a bastard ; and thus I am both abso- lutely ruined in my fortune and reputation, and must become a derision to all the world. My case is, at present, in the Spiritual Court, and I presume that one word from His Majesty to his Proctor, and Advocate, and Judge, would procure me speedy justice : if either our old acquaintance or Christian pity move you, I beg you to put in a kind word for nie, and to deliver the enclosed into the King's own hands, with all con- venient speed; for a criminal bound and going to execution is not in greater agonies, than has been my poor, active soul since this befell me ; and I earnestly beg you to leave 3 lines or me with your own porter what answer the King gives you, and my man shall call for it. A flood of tears blind my eyes, and I can write no more, but that I am, Your most humble but poor distressed Serv', S. MORLAND. B.L orig.] -^''- Peachell to S. Pepys.

Honoured Sir — ^I am to returne you manifold thankes for many favours, particularly for the warrant for the Doe, though our audit was put oif : and for crediting us with the education of your nephew, who came to continue last Tuesday, and I shall be very mindfall of his health, behaviour, and improvement, while God continueth him and me together. I must not conceale from such a friend as you what, before this comes to you, will be known in Court and City. His Majesty was pleased to send a letter directed to me, as Vioe-Ohancellor, to admit one Alban Francis, a Benedictine Monk, Master of Arts, without administering any oath or oaths to him. Now, the oatha of allegiance and supremacy being required by the statutes of Eliz. and Jac. 1"', I could not tell what to do — decline his Majes- ties letter, or his lawes : I could but pray to God to direct, sanctifie, and governe me in the wayes of his lawes ; that so, through his most mighty protection, both here and ever, may be preserved in body and soul: then, by our Chancellour, I endea^ voured to obteine His Majesties release, which could Hot be ob- teined. I thought it unmanerly to importune his Sacred Majesty, and was afraid to straine friends against the graine ; and so could only betake myselfe to my owne conscience, and the advice of loyall and prudent men, my friends; and, after all, I was perswaded that my oath as Vice-Ohancellor, founded on the statutes, was SAMUEL PEPYS. 237 against it, and I should best exercise a conscience void of offence towards God and man, by deprecating his Majesties displeasure, and casting myselfe upon his princely clemency. Worthy Sir, tis extraordinary distresse and affliction to me, after so much endeavour and affection to his Royall person, crown, and succession, I should at last, by the providence of God, in this my station, be thus exposed to his displeasure; but I must commit myselfe to the great God and my dread Soveraigne, the law and my friends, none of which I would have hurt for my sake, but desire all favour and helpe they think me capable of without hurt- ing themselves ; for if I do ill, tis not out of malice, but feare of the last judgment, and at the worst though involuntary mistake. Sir, I am sorry I have occasion to give you this information and trouble ; but you will pardon I hope, if you cannot helpe. Sir, Your most devoted Servant whatever befall, J. Peacheli,.

Honourable Sir — What I mentioned unto your Honour in the Victualling Office, at Tower Hill, on Wednesday, the 18t.h inst., when your Honour saw the sad disaster happened by burning the Cooperidge there — namely, that it is of moment to His Majesty to purchase Sir Denis Gauden's right in the Eedd House for a Tic- tualling Office,* arose from what occurred to me some years past. For, however, that place at first settling for a Victualling Office in King Henry the Eighth's time, might then be remote from other buildings, yet it is now surrounded by so many old and wood-built tenements, as to remain always liable to the same mishap, by being bad-tenanted and contiguous. Besides, the Cooperidge, bakehouse, stock of bavins, and fleshshed, are too near each other, which, like flax when on tire, is not easily quenched, by being overbuilt, and having but one way (the great gate) to go into it, to the hazard of the whole. That, however, at His Majesty's great charge, in the late Dutch war, the then Victuallers, Sir Joseph Child and partners, put the Cooperidge into a condition to answer the occasions thereof; yet they found a want of stowage for their flesh, so as (besides that of profit) to put them upon an expedient to answer that defect, by introducing flour in lieu of beef. This want of stowage for flesh still remains, so as to compel the present Commissioners for Victualling to stow their casks one upon another, to the pressing of the pickle out of the un- dermost, by which their beef and pork last year was most of it rusty; and the rest of it remained too long in its bloody pickle for want of room, to inspect it before delivered out of store. Enquire what great quantities of beef and pork Sir Josiah Child and partners sold at Tangier, Barbadoes, &c., that remained upon their hands (at the time of their going off,) unfit for sale at home. That to this day the stowage for biscuits there is scant, whicn compelled Sir Denis Gauden to erect a bread loft over the bake- house ; which (by a little mishap) took fire in these Commissioners' tim-e, and burnt many thousand weight of biscuit, endangering the whole magazine. That the Bayliff's place is too remote from the water side for a Victualling Office, by which His Majesty is put to the charge of 10c?. a ton cartage for all the bread, flesh, pease, oat- meal, flcur, water casks, &c., sent thence to the water-sitie.

A little before Christmas last, being informed that she was willing, for a sum of money, to confess in open Court a precontract with M' Cheek, and being, at the same time, assured both by her, and my own lawyers, that such a confession would be suf&cient for a sentence of nullity, I did deposit the money, and accordingly a day of tryall was appoynted ; but, after the cause had been pleaded, I was privately as- sured that the Judge was not at all satisfyed with such a confession of hers, as to be a sufficient ground for him to null the marriage, and so that design came to nothing. Then I was advised to treat with her, and give her a present sum and a future maintenance, she giving me sufficient security never to trouble mee more; but her demands were so high, I could not consent to them. After this, she having sent me a very submissive letter by her own advocate, I was advised, both by several private friends and some eminent divines, to take her home, and a day of treaty was appointed for an accomodation. In the interim, a certain gentleman came on purpose, to my house, to assure me that I was taking a snake into my bosom, forasmuch as she had for six months last past, to his certain know- ledge, been kept by, and cohabited with Sir Gilb. Gerrard as his wife, &c.

B.L. orig.] An Account of the Election at Harwich. January 16, 1688-9. The candidates, Sir Thomas Middleton, a very worthy gentleman, agreed upon by all parties, and one M' John Eldred ; the Towns Clerck declaring that Sam. Pepys, Esq., should not be enter' d, except some appear'd personally for him, which being done imme- diately, he was at last set down. The Common Councel were so hot for the other, that, without hearing any reasons, nothing would serve but a present election. But, before they voted, the Mayor and several of the Aldermen arguing strongly that many of them could not be electors; some not being qualified according to law, others being open Dissenters from the Church, amongst whom one a kind of Quaker, four lately taken in the room of four who were absent, and turn'd out without any warrant; it was learnedly answer'd that, by the King's late proclamation, they were put in statu quo in 1679 ; to which reply being made, that the King's proclamation did really restore them who were then electors, but did not give them power to choose any new members, especially their Charter not being restored, which was their warrant to act by, they not knowing so much as where the said Charter is, all was over-ruled by noise and tumult. They took the paper where they were, to write down their votes, and carried it out of the Court; upon which the Mayor presently ad- journing, two of the Aldermen went out, which made the others return into Court, and there give their votes; presently after, the following protestation was put into M' Mayor's hand : — * HippoUtus de Luzancy, A.M., Vicar of Dover Conrt cam Capellft de Harwioli Living in 1700. 246 OOKBBSPONDENCB OF M' Major — We humbly conceive that the present choice of M' El- dred to serve in the Convention is illegal, as to that part of it wherein the new electors are concerned ; it being visible, that so long as wt have no Charter to choose them by, they are unwarrantably chosen. For, tho' his Majesties proclamation restores us again to the same state we were in, in '79, and does qualifie them who were then ac- tually chosen, it does not appear to us, how, without the Charter being actually restor'd to us, which it is not at this present, the then elec- tors can choose any new ones ; so that their very choice is deficient in itself; and accordingly, we humbly solicit Sam. Pepys, Esq., to be return'd with Sir Thom. Middleton, K'j protesting against the choice of the said M' Eldred, and desiring withal that this our said protesta- tion may be enter'd, and return'd to the Convention, to be there ex- amin'd with our further allegations against the said election." M' Smith, the Town Clerk, took the said paper angrily ; threaten'd a schoolmaster, whom he thought had copied it out, to imprison him ; said it was a libel, flung it out of the Court, and proclaimed the said M' Eldred duly chosen. As they carried him up and down in the streets, one Mr. John Wertbrown cry'd out, "JVb Tower men, no men out of the Tower !" which was echo'd by nobody ; most of the freemen, and particularly the seamen, being wholly against such a choice, and declaring that, had they bin con- cerned in it, they would have chosen M' Pepys. This account is exactly true. B.L. orig.] J)r Gale' to S. Fepys. January 1689-90, Thursday, 7 Morn* Sir — Last night, at my returne, I found this letter, which, with the first opportunity, I thought it my duty to communicate to you. Sir, I am your very humble Servant, Thomas Gale. ' Thomas Gale, D.D., was horn at Scruton, in Yorkshire, and educated at West- minster School J from whence he went to Trinity College, Cambridge, where ha obtained a Fellowship, and became Greek professor of the University. In 1672, he was chosen High Master of St. Paul's School, which office he held for twenty- five years. In 1676 he was made a prebendary of St. Paul's, and, in 1697, ad- vanced to the Deanery of York ; but he enjoyed this dignity only a short time, dying April 8, 1702, set. 67. He was a learned theologian, skilled in history and archaeology, and an excellent Greek scholar ; the works which he published fur- nish evidence of Lis industry and talents. He also possessed a noble library, and a curious collection of MSS., which he bequeathed to his son Roger, well known as a zealous antiquary. — Abridged from Xnighfe Life of Dean Colet. SAMUEL PEPTS. 247 Dr. Cumberland^ to Dr. Gale. (Enclosed in the above.) Stamford, January U*, 1689-90. Honoured Sir — I have received both your letters of enquiry about Waloote House,^ and I did not answer suddenly to your first, because you therein gave mee time to doe it at my leisure, and because, as to many particulars mentioned therein, I was not suffi- ciently informed. But your second letter, intimating your desire to hear what answer I can give, sooner than I imagined, hath in- duced me to hasten this account, though it bee very imperfect. I have been in the house several times while it was S' H. Gholmely's, being acquainted both with him and his lady ; but, being altogether unacquainted with Mr. Worthley, I never was in it since it came into his hands, though I have often rid by it. Its distance from our towne of Stamford is about two miles. The outward view of the house is very beautiful, being adorned with a large lanterne, as it were, on a cupola at the top and leads : the figure a regular oblong, and all the windows placed uniformly. All the inward rooms were not finisht when I was in it, but many were, and well adorned. I am informed it's much improved by M' Worthley, both in the rooms and gardens ; there is a wall both about the garden and other yards and enclosed ground. There are plentiful springs near it, but not much wood that I have taken notice of; those who are critical about the matter say the house is too large and good for the small estate in land which adjoines to it, and they add that an inward wall in it was ill built, and hath crusht an arch therein, and thereby hath endanger'd to thrust out one of the outward walls, which is strengthened and secured by some buttresses. I guesse that your occasion of enquireing about it may bee in behalf of some purchaser ; wherefore, I advise that my imper- fect knowledge and unskilfuU judgment in a matter of such conse- quence be not trusted to, but that the person concern'd should trust his own eyes and skill, or employ a judicious surveyour. There are many outhouses about it, but how convenient cannot well be judged but by him that knows the wants or designes of hira who is to dwell therein, and make use of the conveniences. The land about it is healthy, and most convenient for the pleasure of hunting. This is the best information I can give you at present. I hope to bee in London ' Rector of all Saints, Stamford, and, in 1691, made Bishop of Peterborough. ' The house alluded to was built by Sir Hugh Cholmley about 1675, and sold ky him to the Hon.

Without more ceremony, then, and that my small excursion be no impediment to the perfecting your collection, — to the Queries. In the days of Queen Eliz., for before her time I hardly hear of any, came over one Crispin Van de Pas ; and in King James's, his brother Symon, who calls himself Passaeus; and afterwards there came, and in Charles Ist's time, one Elstrack, Stock, de la Rem, and Miriam ; and of our own countrymen, Cecil, Martin, Vaughan, and especially Jo. Paine, for I forbear to mention Marshal, Crosse, and some other lamentable fellows, who engraved the effigies of the noblemen, &c., then flourishing. These prints were sold by George Humble and Sudbury, at the Pope's Head in Cornhill; by Jenner, at the Exchange; one Seager, I know not where, and Roger Daniel : but who had the most choice was M' Peake, near Holborn Conduit; and if there be any who can direct you where you may most likely hear what became of their plates and works of this kind, I believe nobody may so well inform you as M' Faithorne, father to the bookseller, who, if I am not mistaken, was apprentice to Sir W" Peake, for both he and Humble were made Knights, and therefore it may be worth your while to enquire of him. There came afterwards, you know, Lucas, Vosterman, Hollar, Lombart, and other excellent artists ; but these were of later times, which you do not enquire of.

I have Sir George Villiers, when a youth and newly dignified, in a small trifling print, not at all fit for you, who ought to have him when he was a Duke and Admiral; and of such there are many, easily to be had. I am sure his picture is below several flattering dedications, though at present I do not well remember where. But this I do, that there is a Taille-douce of that mighty favourite, almost as big as the life, and nothing inferior to any of the famous Nanteuil's, graved by one Jacob, of Delft, in Hol- land, from a painting of Miereveld, that were well worth the sending even into Holland for, and for whatever else is of this kind, of that incomparable workman's hand. I have once seen it, and took this notice of it to mention it in a new edition of my Calcographie, when I have leisure to revise that trifle. Lastly, as to my Lord Chancellor Hide, though I have not his eflfigies among the rest that I have huddled together, always presuming to get it of my Lord Clarendon, but perpetually forgetting to ask it, yet I can direct you where to come by it, and perhaps you have it already in your library; 'tis but enquiring where Sir W.

His other action was more generous than this ; for being called to witness the title of a gentleman who had not wherewithal to reward him, he being himself not worth a groat, he refused to keep back his evidence, though he was offered a considerable reward by the other party, which would have supported him all his life.

Sir — The last being Confession, this in all good conscience should be Restitution Week ; and, as far as I am able, the first act of it shall be the acquitting myself honestly towards you, in reference to that vast treasure of papers ' which I have had of yours so many years in my hands, in hopes of that otium I have now for three years been master of, but on conditions easily to be guessed at, which have not allowed me the company of more of my papers than I was content to adventure being visited and disordered; and it is not above three weeks since I have taken the liberty of remanding any of them within my reach. Out of these I have made shift to collect all that relate to the State concernment in the ministry of Sir E.. Browne, and those of your own growth towards the History of our Dutch War, 1665, which, with that which followed it in 1672, I wish I could see put together by your hand, as greatly suspecting they will prove the last instances of the sea actions of this nation, which will either bear telling at all, or be worthy of such an historian as Mr. Evelyn. Another piece of restitution I have to make you, is your Columna Trajani, which, out of a desire of making the most use of, with the greatest care to my eyes, I put out unfortunately to an un- skilful hand, for the washing its prints with some thin stain to abate the too strong lustre of the paper : in the execution whereof part of it suffered so much injury, that not knowing with what countenance to return it, I determined upon making you amends by the first fair book I could meet with ; but with so ill success, that, notwithstanding all my industry, at auctions and otherwise, I have only been able to lay my eye on one, fair or foul, at Scott's, and that wholly wanting the historical part; Sir P. Lely, whose book it was, contenting him- self with so much and no more, as touched the profession of a painter without that of a scholar.

The Gazette by this time will inform you of the ceremony of investing His Electoral Highness of Saxony, John George the 4th, with the Order of the Garter, in the Great Hall here, called Atrium Gigantum, on Thurs- day, Jan' 26, 1692. To which I will only add, that the Elector is highly pleased with the Order, which he has not only testified by the noble presents he has made to the Commissioners and all their Re- tinue, but by the perfect good humour he has shown ever since, and by his bestowing upon Sir William Colt, my Colleague, the Badge of Sincerity, a kind of Order established by the 2 Electors of Branden- burg and Saxony a year or two ago, which he took from his own arm and put upon Sir William's, being worn in nature of a bracelet : it is an enamelled jewel, of an oval form, about an inch long, wherein is enamelled 2 hands in armour, with this motto — Vhi d jamais, and on the other, AmitU sinclre. " The first motto," said the Elector, upon giving it to Sir William, "is for the King and myself, the next is for you and I." I will give you a draft of it at my return ; the ornament is only four diamonds on the outside. The day after the ceremony was a famous tilting, 30 on a side, all gentlemen of 8 de- scents, and the day after that were most noble fireworks. The next day, being Sunday, the 26"', we had audience of leave, and Sir Wil- liam presently after delivered new credentials as Envoy. We dined with the Elector that day, and he told me he would give me my pass- port for England, which ho did. The next day we were carried to see the strong fortress of Kbnigstein, about 16 or 18 miles from hence, upon the frontiers of Bohemia, and returned the next day and dined at the Elector's charge, as we did from the time of our first audience being attended by several gentlemen, and the Elector's pages and footmen : since which we are upon our own account.

This said, and with great truth and respect, I go on to tell you that the b earer, Mr. Smith, is one I bear great goodwill to, no less for what I personally know of his general ingenuity, industry, and virtue, than for the general reputation he has in this town, inferior to none, but superior to most, for his mastery in the two points of his profession ; namely> fair writing, and aiithmetic, so far, principally, as is subservient to accountantship. Now, so it is, that the late project, of which you cannot but have heard, of Mr. Neale, the Groom -Porter's lottery, has almost extinguished for some time, at all places of public con- versation in this town, especially among men of numbers, every other talk but what relates to the doctrine of determining between the true proportion of the hazards incident to this or that given chance or lot. On this occasion, it has fallen out that this gentle- man is become concerned, more than in jest, to compass a solution that may be relied upon beyond what his modesty will suffer him to think his own alone, or any less than Mr. Newton's, to be, to a question which he takes a journey on purpose to attend you with and prayed my giving him this introduction to you to that purpose, which, not in common friendship only, but as due to his so earnest application after truth, though in a matter of speculation alone, I cannot deny hira ; and therefore trust you will forgive me in it, and the trouble I desire you to bear, at my instance, of giving him your decision upon it, and the process of your coming at it : wherein I shall esteem myself on his behalf greatly owing to you, and remain, Honoured Sir, your most humble. And most affectionate and faithful Servant, S. P. C. orig.] Isaac Newton to S. Pepys. Cambridge, Nov'" 26, 1893. S' — I was very glad to hear of your good health by M' Smith and to have any opportunity given me of showing how ready I should be to servu you or your friends upon any occasion, and wish that something of greater moment would give me a new oppor- tunity of doing it, so as to become more useful to you than in "Giving only a mathematical question. In reading the question, it seemed to me at first to be ill stated ; and in examining M' Smith 256 COERESPONDENCB OF about tne meaning of some phrase? in it, he put the case of the question the same as if A played with six dice till he threw a six; and then B threw as often with twelve, and C with eighteen, the one for twice as many, the other for thrice as many, sixes. To examine who had the advantage, I took the case of A throwing with one dice, and B with two — the former till he threw a six, the latter as often for two sixes ; and found that A had the advantage. But whether A will have the advantage when he throws with six, and B with twelve dice, I cannot tell ; for the number of dice may alter the proportion of the chances considerably, and I did not compute it in this case, the problem being a very hard one. And, indeed, upon reading the question anew, I found that these cases do not come within the question ; for here an advantage is given to A by his throwing first till he throws a six : whereas, the question re- quires, that they throw upon equal luck, and by consequence that no advantage be given to any one by throwing first. The question is this : A has six dice in a bos, with which he is to fling a six; B has in another box twelve dice, with which he is to fling two sixes ; has in another box eighteen dice, with which he i» to fling three sixes. Q', whether B and C have not as easy a task as A at even luck? If this last question must be understood accordiug to the plainest sense of the words, I think that sense must be this : 1st. Because A, B, and C, are to throw upon even luck, there must be no advantage of luck given to any of them by throwing first or last, by making any thing depend upon the throw of any one, which does not equally depend on the throws of the other two : and, therefore, to bar all inequality of luck on these accounts, 1 would understand the question as if A, B, and C, were to throw all at the same time. 2'">'. I take the most proper and obvious meaning of the words of the question to be, that when A flings more sixes than one, he flings a six as well as when he flings but a single six, and so gains his expectation : and so, when B flings more sixes than two, and more than three, they gain their expectations. But if B throw under two sixes, and C under three, they miss their expectations ; because, in the question, 'tis expressed that B is to throw two, and three sixes. 3'"''. Because each man has his dice in a box, ready to throw, and the question is put upon the chances of that throw, without naming any more throws than that. I take the question to be the same as if it had been put thus upon single throws. What is the expectation or hope of A to throw every time one six, at least, with six dice ? What is the expectation or hope of B to throw every time two sixes, at least, with twelve dice ? SAMUEL PEPTS. 267 Vil hat is the expectation or hope of C to throw every time three sixes, or more than three, with eighteen dice ? And whether has not B and C as great an expectation or hope to hit every time what they throw for, as A hath to hit what he throws for? If the question be thus stated, it appears by an easy computation, that the expectation of A is greater than that of B or C; that is, the task of A is the easiest : and the reason is, because A has all the chances on sixes on his dice for his expectation, but B and C have not all the chances upon theirs ; for, when B throws a single six, oi C but one or two sixes, they niiss of their expectations. This M Smith understands, and therefore allows that, if the question be un- derstood as I have stated it, then B and C have not so easy a task as A; but he seems of opinion, that the question should be so stated, that B and C, as well as A, may have all the chances of sixes on their dice within their expectations. I do not see that the words of the question, as 'tis set down in your letter, will admit it ; but this being no mathematical question, but a question what is the true ma- thematical question, it belongs not to me to determine it. I have contented myself, therefore, to set down how, in my opinion, the question, according to the most obvious and proper meaning of the words, is to be understood ; and that, if this be the true state of the question, then B and C have not so easy a task as A : but, whether I have hit the true meaning of the question, I must submit to the better judgment of yourself and others. If you desire the computa- tion, I will send it you. I am, Sir, y most humble and most obedient Servant, Is. Newton. Isaac Newton to S. Pepyi. Cambridge, Deo' 16, 1693. Sir — In stating the case of the wager, you seem to have exactly the same notion of it with mej and to the question, Which of the three chances should Peter chuse, were he to have but one throw for his life ? I answer, that if I were Peter, I would chuse the first. To give you the computation upon which this answer is grounded, I would state the question thus : — A hath six dice in a box, with which he is to fling at least one six, for a wager laid with R. B hath twelve dice in another box with which he is to fling at least two sixes, for a wager laid with S. 22* 258 CORRESPONDENCE OF C hath eighteen dice in another hox, with which he is to fling at I'^ast three sixes, for a wager laid with T. The stakes of R, S, and T, are equal; what ought A, B, and C, to stake, that the parties may play upon equal advantage. To compute this, I set down the following progressions ol numbers : — Prog.-. 1. 1 2 3 4 6 6 the number of the dice. Progr. 2. 13 6 10 16 Progr. 3. 6 36 216 1296 7776 46656 | *V""^/,^°/„ ^L™* ° ( chances upon tnem.

The progressions in this table are thus found : the first progres- sion, which expresses the number of the dice, is an arithmetical one ; viz., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, &c. ; the second is found, by adding to every term, the term of the progression above it; viz., + 1^1, 1 + 2=3, 3 + 3=6, 6+4=10, 10+5=15, &c. ; the third progression, which expresses the number of all the chances upon the dice, is found by multiplying the number 6 into itself continually; and the fourth, fifth, and seventh, are found by multiplying the number 5 into itself continually ; the sixth is found by multiplying the terms of the first, and fifth ; viz. ; 1 X 1=1, 2 X 5=10, 3 X 25=75, 4 X 125=500, &o. ; and the eighth is found by multiplying the terms of the second andsevecth ; viz, 1 X 1=1, 3 X 5=15, 6 X 25=150, lOx 125 = 1250, &c. ; and by these rules the progressions may be continued on to as many dice as you please. Now, since A plays with six dice, to know what he and E. ought to stake, I consult the numbers in the column under six, and there, from 46656, the number of all the chances upon those dice, ex- pressed in the third progression, I subduct 15625, the number of all the chances without a six, expressed in the fourth ; and the remainder, 31031, is the number of all the chances, with one six or above : therefore the stake of A must be the stake of E, upon equal advantage, as 31031 to 15625, or f ^g|^ to 1 ; for their stakes must be as their expectations, that is, as the number of chances which make for them. In like manner, if you would know what B and S ought to stake upon twelve dice, produce the progressions to the column of twelve dice, and the sum of the numbers in the SAMUEL PEPYS. 259 fourth and sixth progressions; viz., 244140625 + 585937500= 830078125, will be the number of chances for S ; and this number, subducted from the number of all the chances in the third progres- sion, viz., 2176782336, will leave 1346704211, the number of chances for B : therefore the stake of B would be to the stake of S, as 1846704211 to 830078125, or ||^g?g4|i' to 1. And so, by produc- ing the progressions to the number of eighteen dice, and taking the sum of the numbers in the fourth, sixth, and eighth progressions for the number of the chances for T, and the difference between this number and that in the third column for the number of the chances for C, you will have the proportion of their stakes upon equal advantage. And thence it will appear that, when the stakes of R, S, and T, are units, sup- pose one pound or one guinea, and by consequence equal, the stake of A must be greater than that of B, and that of B greater than that of C; and, therefore, A has the greatest expectation. The question might have been thus stated, and answered in fewer words : if Peter is to have but one throw for a stake of lOOOZ., and has his choice of throwing either one six at least upon six dice, or two at least upon twelve, or three at least upon eighteen, which throw ought he to chuse ; and of what value is his chance or expectation upon every throw, were he to sell it ? Answer : Upon six dice there are 46656 chances, whereof 31031 are for him j upon twelve, there are 2176782336 chances, whereof 1346704211 are for him : therefore, his chance or expecta- tion is worth the Igglg" part of 1000/. in the first case, and the 114 B^g4|i Impart of 1000/. in the second ; that is, 665Z. Os. Id. in the first case, and 618/. 13s. ^d. in the second. In the third case, the value will be found still less. This, I think. Sir, is what you desired me to give you an account of; and if there be any thing further, you may command Your most humble and most obedient Servant. Is. Newton. g J, 1 Doctor Gibson to If Gharlett.

You bad received Mr. Pepys's Catalogue by Saturday night's Coach, but that upon reviewing it with him yesterday, I took the liberty of suggesting an objection, wherein I hope you'l agree with ine. Amongst other MSS. which indeed are all exceeding valuable, he has 10 large Volumes fairly writ, consisting of original Letters, Instruments, &c., collected with great care and judgment. But such is his Modesty (because they were his own work) that he had con- cluded them all under this scanty Title, Miscellanies, Historical. 260 CORRESPONDENCE OP Political anS Naval, in 10 Volumes. 'Twas natural for any one to urge that Miscellanies (by which the world means nothing but a con- fus'd Rhapsodie) was to mean a Title for soe regular a Collection, and that the word Originals, or something to express the real value of them, ought to be inserted. I told him likewise, that, in my opinion, he could neither do justice to himself, nor soe much service to the World as would necessary follow upon the mention of such a body of Rarities, unless he publish'd every distinct head through the whole X volumes. And if he agrees to it, I am satisfy'd there's nothing in England can pretend to equal it ; 'twill be in my mind one of the greatest ornaments your Catalogue will have. In short, I would not bring it away till he had consider'd further of it. Among these Collections, he has a Catalogue of a great many Original Letters and Papers now in the Dutch Church here, and relating to the Reformation ; these he's ready to communicate. C] 8. Pepys to jy Smith. April 15, 1695. Reverend Sir — You may be surprised, but won't, I dare say, be offended, that, at the instance of our excellent friend. Dr. Charlett, of Oxford, I come so soon to ask, for another, a favour, it is so little a while since I troubled you for to myself. It is in behalf of this young man,' the bearer : one whose outside would not lead you to expect such an errand from him, his education also bespeaking it as little; as having been bred at Coventry, in a trade not very apt to give any occasion for it. But so it is, that by a strange bent of nature, he has spontaneously given himself up to the love of Antiquities, and looking into Records ; Dr. Charlett telling me of several Catalogues of MSS. now before them at Oxford, which they owe to his transcribing : and, after this, what can you think his present want to be, and the only errand that has brought him up to London, and this the first time of his being here, but a curiosity only to see the inside of Sir John Cotton's Library, which pray let me, in Dr. Charlett's name and ray own, beg you to indulge him an opportunity for, when it may be with least trouble to yourself. And to reconcile this curiosity of his a little more to * Humphrey Wanlej, son to the Rev. Nathaniel Wanley, Vicar of Trinity Church, in Coventry, and better known as the author of the Wonders of the Little World, Humphrey Wanley was sent to Edmund Hall, Oxford, by Lloyd, Bishop of Lich- field, Ac, whence he soon removed to University College, at the instance of Dr. Charlett, who had observed his attention to matters of antiquity. He became, some years afterwards, Librarian to the Earl of Oxford, whose son and successor retained him in his service. He died in July, 1726. — Biographical Did.

Madam — You are very good, and pray continue so, by as many feind messages as you can, and notices of your health, such as the bearer brings you back my thanks for, and a thousand services. Here's a sad town, and God knows when it will be a better, our losses at sea making a very melancholy exchange at both ends of it; the gentlewomen of this, to say nothing of the other, sitting with their arms across, without a yard of muslin in their shops to sell, while the ladies, they tell me, walk pensively by, without a shilling, I mean a good one, in their pockets to buy. One thing there is, indeed, that comes in my way as a Grovernor, to hear of, which carries a little mirth with it, and indeed is very odd. Two wealthy citizens are lately dead, and left their estates, one to a Blue Coat boy, and the other to a Blue Coat girl, in Christ's Hospital. The extraordinariness of which has led some of the magistrates to carry it on to a match, which is ended in a public wedding ; he in his habit of blue satin, led by two of the girls, and she in blue with an apron green, and petticoat yellow, all of sarsnet, led by two of the boys of the house, through Cheapside to Guildhall Chapel, where they were married by the Dean of St. Paul's, she given by my Lord Mayor. The wedding-dinner, it seems, was kept in the Hospital Hall, but the great day will be to-morrow, St. Matthew's ; when, so much I am sure of, my Lord Mayor will be there, and myself also have had a ticket of invitation thither, and, if I can, will be there too; but for other particulars, I must refer you to my next, and so, Dear madam, adieu, S.

Sir — I have now learnt as much as I could since the other day. Col. Scott, about 7 weeks ago, came to England in a sea- man's habit: he was not seen by any body I know till about 16 days ago, and then he appeared in a pretty good habit, and a bob wig on, and pulled out a parchment with a broad seal to it, and said it was his pardon, and desired that man to get a silver box made to put it in ; but he has not seen him since. The Colonel was at his house yesterday, but he was not at home, whether it was a pardon or not he cannot tell, but Kings do not use to grant pardons before conviction, unless it be to noblemen, as to the Duke of Buckingham for killing Lord Shrewsbury, or the like the present King did to Colonel Beveridge for killing M' Danby, and to some outlaws that he brought with him. But Colonel Scott has always been obnoxious to him : when he was in Scotland, he ran away with his regiment's money, and was hanged in effigy : besides, I have employed a friend to search the Hanaper Office and the Petty Bag Office, where all patents of that nature pass, and for 16 years there has been no such patent passed I am informed that he lives in Gray's Inn, by 2 people that he has told so to. If I can any way further serve your honour, no person shall do it more faithfully. Edward Wright. When Scott returned out of Holland, he told my friend he had a bill from the Bank at Amsterdam of 100?. upon the Bank here, and could not get his money. His person and carriage are not a bit altered.

Since that time, I was not much in the North, nor did I either make any inquiries on purpose, or what I occasion- ally heard then differ considerably from what I had heard formerly. One particular of which was a footman of your great grandfather's, who was mightily concerned upon seeing a dagger in the Lord Reay's breast. He informed his master of the sight, who laughed ' The letters which follow, relating to the Second Sight ordinarilj pretended to in the Highlands, are here introduced seriatim, without reference to the Chrono- logical order observed in the Correspondence.

Almon 1797, is the following ac- count of Lord Tarbut: — Sir &eorge Mackenzie, eldest son of the first Baronet, was a man of great learning, and well versed in the laws. He had a commission from Charles II., then in exile, to raise what forces he could, in order to promote his restoration : and for those good services, when His Majesty returned to England, he was made a Senator of the College of Justice, Clerk Register, one of the Privy Council, and Justice General ; and by James II., created Viscount Tarbut in 1685. In the reign of Queen Anne, be was constituted Secretary of State, and a Privy Councillor: created Earl of Cromartie, in 1702, and continued in the post of Justice General. He died in August, 1714, set. suae 34. His grandson, George, third.Barl of Cromartie, having taken an active part in the rebellion of 1745, was found guilty cf High Treason, and his estate and honours were forfeited to the Crown ; but he was pardoned, and permitted to reside in England till his death In 1766. 23* 26t> CORRESPONDENCE OF at it. Some months after, he gave the doublet which he did wear when the Seer did see the dagger in his breast, t& his servant, who did wear or keep it about a year, and then gave it to this footman, who was the Seer, and who was stabbed in the breast by another, when this doublet was upon him. My Lord, you may inquire further into the truth of this." This, Sir, is the answer I have had from my Lord Tarbut, and I enclose you a copy of his letter therein. I have since informed my- self of the truth of the story about my grandfather's footman, and find it literally true ; as also another, much of the same nature, which I shall give you an account of, because I have it from a sure author, a friend of my own, of unexceptionable honesty, to whose father the thing happened, and he was himself witness to it all. John Macky, of Dilril, having put on a new suit of clothes, was told by a Seer that he did see the gallows upon his coat, which he never noticed ; but, some time after, gave his coat to his servant, William Forbes, to whose honesty there could be nothing said at that time; but he was shortly after hanged for theft, with the same coat about him : my informer being an eye-witness of his execu- tion, and one who had heard what the Seer said before. I have heard several other stories, but shall trouble you with no more than what have happened since I last came into the country. There was a servant woman in Mindo Aubrey's house, in Lang- dale, on Strathnaver, in the Shire of Sutherland, who told her mis- tress she saw the gallows about her brother's neck, who had then the repute of an honest man : at which her mistress being ofiFended, put her out of the house. Her brother, nevertheless, having stolen some goods, was sentenced to be hanged the 22d August, 1698 ; yet by the intercession of several gentlemen, who became bail for his future behaviour, was set free, though not customary by our law ; which occasioning one of the gentlemen. Lieutenant Alex. Macky, to tell the woman servant that she was once deceived, the man being set at liberty, she replied, he is not dead yet, but shall certainly be hanged ; and accordingly, he betaking himself to stealing anew, and being catched, was hanged the 14th of February, 1699. I was this year hunting in my forest, having several Highlanders with me ; and, speaking of the Second Sight, one told me there was a boy in company that had it, and had told many things that had fallen out to be true ; who being called, and confessing it, I asked him what he saw last : he told me he had seen, the night before, Buch a man by name, who lived thirty miles from that place, break SAMUEL PEPTS. 267 my Forester's servant's head ; which the servant overhearing, laughed at him for saying that ; that could not be, they being very good friends : so as I did not believe it, but it has certainly happened since. These stories, with what is contained in my Lord Tarbut's letter, are the most satisfactory for proving Second Sight of any I have heard, and the people are so persuaded of the truth of it in the Highlands and Isles, that one would be more laughed at for not believing it there than for affirming it elsewhere. For my own part, I do not question it ; though that be of small weight towards the persuading others to the belief of it. But I dare affirm, had you the same reasons I have, you would be of my opinion : I mean, had you heard all the stories I have, attested by men of honour not to be doubted, and been eye-witness to some of them yourself, as the breaking of the man's head, foretelling of another's death, and another story, which the same boy told me long ere they happened. There was a blind woman in this country, in my time, who saw them perfectly well, and foretold several things that happened, as hundreds of honest men will attest. She was not born blind, but became so by accident, to that degree, that she did not see so much as a glim- mering, yet saw the Second Sight as perfectly as before. I have got a manuscript, since I came last to Scotland, whose author, though a parson, does, after giving a very full account of the Second Sight, defend there being no sin in it, for reasons too long to be here inserted : but, with the first opportunity, I shall send you a copy of his books ; and I have this day received a letter from a friend I had employed for that purpose, promising me the acquaint- ance of this man, of which I am very covetous, being persuaded it will give me much light in this matter. There is a people in these countries surnamed " Mansone," who see this sight naturally, both men and women, though they commonly deny it, but are so affirmed to do by all their neighbours. A Seer, with whom I was reasoning on this subject, finding me very incredu- lous in what he asserted, offered to let me see as well as himself. 1 asked whether he could free me from seeing them thereafter; whereto he answering me he could not, put a stop to my curiosity. The manner of showing them to another is this : the Seer puts both his hands and feet above your's, and mutters some words to himself: which done, you both see them alike. This, Sir, is all the information I can send you on this head, till I have the opportunity of sending you the fore-mentioned Treatise : remaining, Honoured Sir, your most humble Servant, Reat. 26f' COEKESPONDENCE OF The Lord Tarbvt, on the same suhj'ect, to Mr Boi/le. Sir — I had heard very much, but believed very little, of tha Second Sight; yet, it being affirmed by several of great veraoity, T was induced to make some inquiry after it in the year 1652, being then confined to abide in the North of Scotland by the English Usurpers. The more general accounts of it were, that many High- landers, yet far more Islanders, were qualified with this sight : that men, women, and children, indistinctively, were subject to it ; and sometimes children whose parents were not subject to it; some- times people when come to age, who had it not when young, nor could any tell by what means produced. It is a trouble to most of those who are subject to it. The sight is of no long duration, only continuing so long as they keep their eyes steadily without trem- bling; the hardy, therefore, fix their look, that they may see the longer, but the timorous see only glances, their eyes always trembling at the first sight of the object. That which is generally seen by them is the species of living creatures and inanimate things which are in motion, such as ships and habits upon persons : they never see the species of any person who is already dead. What they foresee fails not to exist in the mode and place where it ap- pears to them. They cannot tell what space of time shall intervene betwixt the apparition and real existence ; but some of the hardiest and longest experience have some rules for conjectures ; as, if they see a man with a shrouding-sheet in the apparition, they would conjecture at the nearness and remoteness of his death by the more or less of his body that is covered with it. They will ordinarily see their absent friends, though at a great distance, sometimes no less than from America to Scotland, sitting standing, or walking, in some certain place, and then they conclude with assurance that they will see them so and there. If a man be in love with a woman, they will ordinarily see the species of that man standing by her ; and so, likewise, if a woman be in love. They conjecture at their marrying, by the species looking on the person ; at their not mar- rying by the species appearing at a distance from the beloved per- son. If they see the species of any person who is sick to death, they see them covered over with a shrouding-sheet. These, gene- rally, I had verified to me by such of them as did see, and were esteemed honest and sober by all the neighbourhood; for I inquired . after such for my information : and because there were more Seers in the Isles of Lewis, Harris, and Uist, than any other place, I did entreat Sir James M'Donald, who is now dead, Sir Normade M'Leod, and Mr. Daniel Morison, a very honest parson, who is SAMXTBL PBPTS. 269 still alive, to make inquiry iuto this strange sight and to acquaint me therewith ; which they did, and found an agreement in these Generals, and informed me of many instances confirming what they said. But, though men of honour and discretion, being but at second hand, I would choose rather to put myself than my friends in the hazard of being laughed at for incredible relations. I was once travelling in the Highlands, and a good number of servants with me, as is usual there, and one of them going a little before me to enter into a house where I was to stay all night; and, going hastily to the door, he suddenly started back with a screech, and fell by a stone, against which he dashed his foot. I asked what the matter was, for he seemed to me to be very much frighted; he told me very seriously that I should not lodge in that house be- cause shortly a dead coffin would be carried out of it, for many were carrying it when be was heard cry. I neglecting his words and staying there, he said to others of the servants he was very sorry for it, and that what he saw would surely come to pass ; and thougb no sick person was then there, yet the landlord, a healthy Highlander, died of an apoplectic fit before I left the house. In the year 1653, Alexander Monro, afterwards Lieutenant-Colonel to the Earl of Dumbarton's regiment, and I were walking in a place called " , in Loch Broom, in a little plain at- the foot of a rugged hill : there was a servant working with a spade in the walk before us, his back to us, and his face to the hill. He took no notice of us, though we passed by near to him, which made me look at him ; and, perceiving that he stared, I conjectured he was a Seer; wherefore, I called to him, at which he started and smiled. " What are.you doing?" said I. He answered, " I have seen a very strange thing — an army of Englishmen, leading of horses, coming down that hill; and a number of them are come down to the plain, and eating the barley which is growing in the field near to the hill." This was on the fourth of May, for I noted the day, and it was four or five days before the barley was sown in the field he spoke of. Alexander Monro asked how he knew they were Englishmen : he answered, because they were leading horses^ and had on hats and boots, which he knew no Scotch- man would have on there. We took little notice of the whole story as other than a foolish vision, but wished that an English party were there we being then at war with them, and the place almost inacoes- eible for horsemen But the beginning of August thereafter, the Earl of Middleton, then Lieutenant for the King in the Highlands, having occasion to march a party of his towards the South Islands, pent his Foot through a place called Inverlaowell, and the forepart, ' A blank in the 1 270 CORRESPONDENCE OF which was first down the hill, did fall to eating the barley which was on the little plain under it ; and Monro, calling to mind what the Seer told us in May preceding, wrote of it, and sent an express to me to Lochslime, in Koss, where I then was, with it. I had occasion to be in company where a young lady was, excuse my not naming of persons, and I was told there was a notable Seer in company ; and I called to him to speak with me, as I did ordina- rily when I found any of them ; and, after he had answered several questions, I asked him if he saw any person to be in love with that lady : he said he did, but knew not the person ; for, during the two days he had been in her company, he perceived one standing near her with his head leaning on her shoulders, which he said did fore- tell that the man should marry her, and die before her, according to his observation. This was in the year 1655. I desired him to de- scribe the person, which he did ; so I could conjecture by the description, that it was such a one who was of that lady's acquaintance, though there was no thought of tbeii intermarriage till two years after- wards ; and having occasion, in the year 1657, to find this Seer, who was an Islander, in company with the other person whom I conjectured to have been described by him, I called him aside, and asked if that was the person he saw beside the lady near two years then past : he said it was he, indeed, for he had seen that lady just then standing by bira hand-in-hand. This was some few months before their marriage, and the man is since dead, and the lady still alive. I shall trouble you with but one more, which I thought the most remarkable of all [that] occurred to me. In January, 1682, the above-named Colonel Monro and I happened to be in the house of William M'Leod, of Feirinhed, in the County of Ross ; he, the landlord, and I, sitting in three chairs near the fire, and in the corner of the great chimney there were two Islanders who were that very night come to the house, and were related to the landlord. While the one of them was talking with Monro, I perceived the other to look oddly towards me, and from his looks, and his being an Islander, I conjectured that he was a Seer, and asked him why he stared ? He answered by desiring me to rise from that chair, for it was an unlucky one. I asked, "Why?" He answered, "Because there was a dead man in the chair next to it." — " Well," said I, " if it be but in the next, I may safely sit here : hut what is the likeness of the man ?" He said he was a, tall man, with a long grey coat, booted, and one ot' his legs hanging over the chair, and his head hanging down to the other side, and his arm backward, as it were broken. There were then some English troops quartered near the place, and there being Bt that time a great frost after a thaw, the country was wholly SAMUEL PEPTS. 271 covered over with ice. Four or five Englishmen riding by this house, not two hours after the vision, where we were sitting by the fire, we heard a great noise, which proved to be these troopers, with the help of other servants, carrying in one of their number who had got a very mischievous fall and had his arm broke ; and, falling frequently into swooning fits, they brought him to the hall, and set him in the very chair and in the very posture which the Seer had proposed : but the man did not die, though he revived with great difficulty. Among the accounts given me by Sir Normade M'Leod, there was one worthy of special notice, which was this : — There was a gentleman in the Isle of Harris, who was always seen by the Seers with an arrow in his thigh : such in the Isle who thought these prognostications infallible, did not doubt but he would be shot in the thigh before he died. Sir Normade told me that he heard it the subject of discourse for many years, when that gentleman was present : at last, he died without any such accident. Sir Normade was at his burial at St. Clement's Church, in the Isle of Harris: at the same time the corpse of another gentleman was brought to be buried in the very same church. The friends on either side came to debate who should first enter the church, and, in a trice, from words they came to blows : one of the number, who was armed with a bow and arrow, let one fly among them ; now, every family in that Isle have their burying-plaoe in the church in stone chests, and the bodies are carried on open biers to the place of burial. Sir Normade, having appeased the tumult, one of the arrows was found shot in the dead man's thigh : to this Sir Normade himself was a witness. In the account Mr. Daniel Morison, Parson in the Lewis, gave me, there was one, which, though it be heteroge- neous from this subject, yet it may be worth your notice. — It was of a young woman in his parish who was mightily frightened by seeing her own image still before her, always when she came into the open air, and the back of the image always to her ; so that it was not a reflec- tion, as in a mirror, but the species of such a body as her own, and in a very like habit, which appeared to herself continually before her. The parson bred her a long time with him, but she had no remedy of her evil, which troubled her exceedingly. I was told afterwards, that, when she was four or five years older, she saw it not. These are matters of fact, which, I assure you, are truly related ; but these, and all others that occurred to me by infonnatiori or otherwise, could never lead me into so much as a remote conjecture of the cause of so extraordinary a phenomenon : whether it be a quality in the eyes of some persons, in those parts, concurring with, 272 CORRESPONDENCE OF a quality in the air also ; or wliether such species be every where, though not seen for want of eyes so qualified, or from whatever cause, I must leave to the inquiry of clearer judgments than my own. But a hint may be taken from this image which appeared still to this young woman aforementioned, and from another mentioned by Aristotle, in the 4th of his Metaphysics, if I remember right, for it is long since I read it : as also from that common opinion that young infante, un- soiled with many objects, do see apparitions which are not seen by those of older years : likewise from this, that several who did see the Second Sight when in the Highlands or Isles, yet when transported to live in other countries, especially in America, quite lose this quality ; as it was told me by a gentleman who knew some of them in Barba- does, that did not see any visions there, although he knew them to be Seers when they lived in the Isles of Scotland. C] S. Pepys to the Lord Reay. York buildings, November 21, 1699. My Lord — I can never enough acknowledge the honour of your Lordship's letter. Could I have foreseen the least part of the fatigue my inquiries have cost your Lordship in the answering, I should have proceeded with more tenderness in the burthening you with them. But, since your Lordship has had the goodness to undergo it, I can- not repent me of being the occasion of your giving the world so early a proof of what may be further expected from a genius so cuiious, so painful, so discerning, and every way so philosophical, as your Lordship has herein shown yours to be; in the exercise whereof I cannot, as an old man, but wish you a long life, and a happy one, to the honour of your noble family, your country, the whole common- wealth of learning, and more particularly that part of it, the Royal Society of England, dedicated to the advancement of natural know- ledge, whereto your Lordship is already become a peculiar ornament. And now, my Lord, for the matter of your letter : it carries too much observation and weight in it to be too easily spoken to; and, therefore, I shall pray your Lordship's bearing with me if I ask a little more time. This only I shall not spare now to say, that, as to the Second Sight, I little expected to have been ever brought so near to a conviction of the reality of it, as by your Lordship's and Lord Tarbut's authorities I must already own myself to be : not that I yet know how to subscribe my Lord Tarbot's charging it upon some singularity of quality in the air, or eye of the person affected therewith ; forasmuch as I have never heard of other consequences SAMUEL PEPYS. 273 of any indisposure in the medium or organ of sight, than what re^ lated to the miscolouring, misfiguring, diminishing, or undue mag- nifying, of an object truly existing and exposed thereto; whereas, in this case, we are entertained with daggers, shrouds, arrows, gibbets, and God knows what, that indeed are not, but must he the creatures of the mind only, however directed to them, and not to the eye. Nor yet as to the reality of the effect would I be thought, my Lord, to derive this propension of mind to the belief of it, from the credit only which I find it to have obtained among your neigh- bours, the Highlanders ; for that it had been my particular fortune to have outlived the belief of another point of faith relating to the eyes, no less extraordinary nor of less universal reception elsewhere ; — I mean the mal de ojo in Spain; with a third, touching the sani- tive and prophetic faculty of the Saludadores there : as, having heretofore pursued my inquiries thereinto so far, upon the place, as to fully convince myself of the vanity thereof, especially of the latter, from the very professions of its professors. But, my Lord, where, as in the matter before us, the power pretended to is so far from being of any advantage to the possessors, as, on the contrary, to be attended with constant uneasiness to them, as well as for the most part of evil and serious import, and irresistibly so, to the persons it is applied to; in consequence whereof, as your Lordship well notes, your Seers are both desirous to be themselves rid of it, and ready to communicate it to any other that will adventure on it; I say, these considerations, joined to that of its being so abundantly attested by evewitnesses of unquestionable faith, authority, and capacity to judge, will not permit me to distrust the truth of it, at least till something shall arise from my further deliberations upon your Lord- ship's papers leading me thereto, than, I must acknowledge, there yet does ; in which case I shall give myself the liberty of resorting acain to your Lordship, praying, in the ,mean time, to know how far I have your leave to make some of my learned friends partakers with me in the pleasure of them, and of what your Lordship has been pleased, with so much generosity, to promise me of further light upon this subject, from the Manuscript lately come to your Lordship's hand, a copy of which will be a most welcome and lasting obligation upon me. I remain, with most profound respect, Tour Lordship's most obedient Servant, 8. Peptb. Vol. rv. — 24 274 COREBSPONDBNCE OF C.J The Lord Reay to S. Pepys. Inverness, Janaary 9th, 1700. Sir — I had yours some time ago, but have delayed my return, in expectation of sending you the Manuscript I promised you, which, being obliged to stay some time from home, you are not yet to expect from me. You may, if you think fit, communicate my letter to whom you please ; for there is nothing in it but what I know to be true, or have good authors for; and think it needless, though I have heard many, to relate more stories of Second Sight, save one which has happened since I wrote last. A gentleman, who was married to a cousin of Drynie's, living in the county of Ross, coming on a visit to him at his house, called him to the door, the ordinary compliments being passed, to speak to him about some business. But when they went out, he was so frightened that he fainted, and, being recovered, would in no wise stay in the house that night, buc went with his wife to a farmer's hard by ; where, she asking him why he left the house, he told her publicly that he knew Drynie would die that night ; for when they went to the door, he saw his winding-sheet about him. And accordingly, the gentleman did die that night, though he went to bed in perfect health, and had had no sickness for some time before. I had this story from Drynie's own son, the farmer, his servant, and the man himself who saw it. For my part I am fully convinced of this Sight; but what to attri- bute it to I know not, nor can I be convinced, any more than you, that it depends on any quality, either of the air or eyes, but would gladly know your opinion of it. I hope to see you shortly in London, And am, Sir, your very humble Servant, Beay. C] D' Miches to S. Pepys. London, June 19, 1700. Honoured Sir — I have been ill of a cold since I had the honour to wait upon you and Mr. Hewer, and that has been the cause why I have been so long in performing the promise I made, of sending you in writing some things you gave me occasion to say, by impart, ing to me my Lord Reay's letter to you, and the letter my Lord Tarbot wrote to him concerning the Second Sight. This is a very proper term for that sight which the Scottish Seers or Visionists have of things by representation ; for, as the sight of a thing itself is, in order of nature, the first or primary sight of it, so the sight of it, by any representation, whether really made without, as all ap- SAMUEL PBPTS. 275 pantiona are, or within upon the stage of imagination, as all sorts of visions are made, is, in order of nature, the second or secondary sight of that thing ; and, therefore, the sight of anything by representiition, though first in order of time, may properly be called the Second Sight thereof. Thus, the sight of a picture in order of nature is in- deed the second sight of the thing whose picture it is> and, if custom would allow it, might be so called. But the Scotch have restrained the use of the term only to that sight of things by appearance, or representation, which those Seers or Visionists among them use to have ; but whether in outward apparitions always, or inward virions, or some times one way and some the other, I have not yet learned, but it would be an inquiry proper for the subject, and fit for that insjenious Lord to make. I told you, when I was in Scotland, I never met with any learned man, either among the Divines or Lawyers, who doubted of the thing. I had the honour to hear Lord Tarbut tell the story of the Second Sight, of my Lord Middleton's march with his army down a hill, which you read in the letter written by his Lordship to Mr. Boyle. It was before the Duke of Launderdale he told it, when his Grace was High Commissioner of Scotland, about twenty-two years ago. At the same time, as I remember, he entertained the Duke with a story of Elf Arrows, which was very surprising to me ; they are of a tri- angular form; somewhat like the beard or pile of our old English arrows of war, almost as thin as one of our old groats, made of flints or pebbles, or such like stones ; and these the country people in Scot- land believe that Evil Spirits, which they call Elves, from the old Danish word Alfar, which signifies Dsemon, Genius, Satyrus, do shoot into the hearts of cattle ; and, as I remember, my Lord Tarbut, or some other Lord, did produce one of these Elf arrows, which one of his tenants or neighbours took out of the heart of one of hig cattle that died of an usual death. I have another strange story, but very well attested, of an Elf arrow, that was shot at a venerable Irish Bishop by an Evil Spirit in a terrible noise, louder than thunder, which shaked the house where the Bishop was ;' but this I reserve for his son to tell you, who is one of the deprived Irish Clergymen, and very well known, as by other excellent pieces, so by his late book, entitled, "The SnaJcein the Grass." I mention this to encourage you to desire my Lord to send you a more perfect acoonnt of these Elf arrows ; the subject being of so near an alliance to that of the Second Sight, and to witchcraft, which is akin to them both. As for this subject, I had a very tragical but authentic ' Kiehard Lesley, Bishop of Killala, whose son Charles published, in 1696, The Snake in the Gran, a tract against the Quakers, and other excellent works. 276 CORRESPONDENCE OF story, told me by the Duke of Lauderdale, which happened in the family of Sir John Dalrymple, Laird of Stair, and then Lord Presi- dent, as they call the Lord Chief Justice of Scotland. His Grrace had no sooner told it me, but my Lord President coming into the room, he desired my Lord to tell it me himself, which, altering his counte- nance, he did with a very melancholick air ; but it is so long since, that I dare not trust my memory with relating the particulars of it, though it was a memorable story ; but if my Lord Reay would be pleased to make inquiry into it of the present heir of the family, he would find it a story of great authority, and worthy of being written by his excellent pen. Sir, I beg your pardon for this digression from the Second Sight to Witches ; and perhaps the Divine whom my Lord Reay tells you hath written a book in defence of the innocency of seeing things by the help of it, would be offended with me for joining them together. In truth, Sir, I long to see that book, being myself uncertain in my opinion whether that way of seeing things be always from a good or evil cause, or sometimes from one, and sometimes from the other. One would hope that, in good men, who contribute nothing towards the having of it, it should be from good spirits, which the old Danes and Norwegians, from whom the Scotch have a great part of their language, called Lias Al/ar, i. e.. Spirits of Light : but in those who come to have it by certain forms of words, which we call charms, or doing and performing such ceremonies as are mentioned in my Lord's letter, one would think it proceeded from evil spirits, which the old Danes and Norwegians called Stuart Alfar, i. e., Black Spirits : nay, when wicked men have it, though without contributing any thing towards it by charms or ceremonies, one would fear upon the account of their wickedness, which provokes God and their good angels to abandon them, that it proceeded from Evil Spirits. It may also be presumed to proceed from the same cause, in men otherwise of unblamed lives, who are addicted to the study of magic, or judicial astrology, or who are known to converse with Demons, as many amongst the learned, both ancient and modern, both foreigners and our own countrymen, are said to have done. A good number of well-attested stories out of good historians and records, as well as living witnesses, would help to resolve these ioubts. Among the former are to be consulted the histories of the old Northern nations, written in old Danish or Swedish, which com- monly have the title of Saga, which signifies a narration of history, and have been printed of late in Denmark and Sweden. But it may be those theories, and many more, are suflSciently resolved and ac- counted for in the book above mentioned, which ray Lord hath pro SAMUEL PBPYS. 277 mised to send you ; bnt if not, bis Lordship has great opportunities of farther inquiry into facts, by whcioh, as by phenomena, they may be resolved. It was commonly reported, when I was in Scotland, that the Lord Seaforth, then living, had the Second Sight, and thereby foretold a dreadful storm to some of his friends, in which they had like to have been cast away. I once heard the Duke of Lauderdale rally him about it, but he neither did own it or disown it; according to that maxim of the civil law, "Qui facet aut non negat, sic utique non fatetur." At the same time, there was a girl in custody at Edinburgh, whose name was Janet Douglas, about 12 or 13 yeers of age, famous for the Second Sight, and the discovery of witches, and their male- fices and enchantments thereby. The girl first signalized herself in the Western Islands, where she discovered how one Sir G. Maxwell was tormented in eflSgy by witches. She was not known there, where she made this, which was her first discovery, but from thence she came to Glasgow, whither her fame having got before her, the people in great numbers ran out to meet her. As she was surrounded with the crowd, she called out to one man, a goldsmith, as I remember, and told him that of so long a time he had not thriven in his trade, though he was very diligent in it, because an image was made against him, which he might find in such a corner of his shop ; and when the man went home, there he found it where she said it was ; and the image was such, both as to matter and form, as she had described it, viz., a little rude image made of clay. She told another, that he and his wife, who had been a very loving couple, of late had lived in great discord, to the grief and astonish- ment of them both; and when the man asked the reason, she an- swered, as she did before, that there was an image made against them. I have forgot whether she named the witches who made those images, as she did those that made that in which they tor- tured Sir George Maxwell. But by these, and other such discoveries, she made such tumults and commotions among the people of Glasgow, that the magistrates thought fit to confine her, and sent an account of her to the Privy Council at Edinburgh, who sent for her up in custody ; but when she came near the city, the people went out to meet her in vast crowds, and, as she was surrounded with them, she accused several persons of witchcraft, which obliged them to put her in close confinement, to keep the people and their miuds quiet from the commotions she had raised in them. This happened a little before the Duke of Lauderdale went the last time as High Commissioner into Scotland, in May, 1678, when I had tho honour to attend him as his domestic Chaplain. 24* 278 CORRESPONDENCE OF Hearing these and many other stories of this girl, I had a desire to see her, and discourse with her ; but it was some time before 1 could obtain leave to go to her, because an order had been made in Council, before we came into Scotland, that no one should be admitted to her. In the interim, upon an invitation by the then Lord Archbishop of Glasgow, Dr. Burnet, of honourable memory, afterwards made Archbishop of St. Andrew's, I went to see Grlaa- gow, where I had the happiness to meet Dr. Rosse, then Lord Bishop of Argyle, who afterwards succeeded Dr. Burnet in the Archbishoprick of St. Andrew's, of which he was deprived, with the whole order, soon after the Revolution. It was from him that I had the stories above related concerning Janet Douglas, with many more which I have forgotten, from her first appearance in the Highlands to her coming to Grlasgow. My Lord Archbishop is still living; and if my Lord Reay would please to inquire of him, and many others yet alive, about that girl, he would be able to give you an account of her much more worthy your knowledge than any thing I can now write of her, at so great a distance of time. One thing I must not omit to tell yon — that in all her marches from Sir George Maxwell's to Edinburgh, nobody knew her, not would she discover to any one who she was. After I returned to Glasgow, I renewed my petition to my Lord Duke for leave to see Janet Douglas, which he granted me. My desire of seeing her arose from a great curiosity I had to ask her some questions about the Second Sight, by which she pretended to make all her discoveries. I took a reverend and learned Divine with me, one Mr. Scott, Minister of the Church of the Abbey of Holyrood, now the Palace of the Scottish Kings. When we were first brought to her, I found her, as I had heard her described, a girl of very great assurance, undaunted, though surprised at our coming, and suspicious that I was sent to betray her : this made her very shy of conversing with us; but, after many and serious protestations on my own part that I came for no other end but to ask her some questions about the Second Sight, to which she pre- tended, she at last promised she would freely answer me, provided I would use my interest with my Lord High Commissioner to obtain her liberty, upon condition she went into England, never again to appear in Scotland, which I promised to do. Upon this I began to premise something upon the baseness of lying and deceiving, and especially of pretending to false revelations, and the dangerous consequences of such practices, which made all such lying pretenders odious to God and man ; and then, requiring her, in the presence of God, to tell me nothing but the truth, she promised me, with a serious air, to tell me nothing but the very truth. SAMUEL PEPYS. 279 I then asked her, if indeed she had the Second Sight, ana if by that she knew those things she had discovered ; to which she answered in the affiimative. I then asked her if she thought it proceeded from a good or evil cause ; upon which she turned the question upon me, and asked me what I thought of it. I told her plainly, I feared it was from an evil cause ; but she replied quickly, she hoped it was from good. I then asked her if it came upon her by any act of her own, as by sav- ing any words, or performing any actions or ceremonies; to which she replied No. I asked her, upon this, if she remembered her baptismal vow : but she did not understand my question till I began to explain it; and then, with great quickness, replied, she remembered it, and called to mind, that she had renounced the Devil and all his works : and then I told her by the devil was meant Satan, the prince of devils, and all evil spirits under him, and asked her if she renounced them all, which she said she did. Then I asked if she [would] renounce them all in a form of words that I had provided ; which, promising to do, I bid her say after me, which she did in the most serious and emphatical expressions that I was able to devise. I then asked her if she could say the Lord's Prayer ; she said, Yes : I bid her say it upon her knees, which she did. I then asked her if she ever prayed to God to deliver her from the power of the devil and all evil spirits ; but not answering readily and clearly to that question, I then asked her if she would make such a prayer to Grod upon her knees, which I had composed for her, which she did without any difficulty. Then I proceeded to ask her at what distance she saw persons and things by the Second Sight ; she replied, at the same distance they were really from her, whether more or less. Then I asked her if the Second Sight came upon her sleeping or waking : she answered, never sleeping, but always when she was awake. I asked this question to know whether the Second Sight was by outward representation, which 1 call apparition, or by inward representation, on the theatre of the imagination caused by some spirit ; or, that I may once more use my own terms for distinction, whether these Second Sight folks were Seers or Visionists, or sometimes one and sometimes the other. Then I asked her if she was wont to have any trouble, disorder, or consterna- tion of mind, before or after the Second Sight came upon her ; to which she answered. Never, but was in the same temper at those as at all other times. Then I asked her if the Second Sight never left any weariness or faintness upon her; or listlessness to speak, walk, or do any other business ; to which she always answered. No ; add- ing that she was always then as before. These two answers of hers do not agree with some accounts in 280 CORRESPONDENCE OF my Lord's letter, wherein, as I remember, ha speaks of one who said he had always perturbation of mind attending the Second Sight; but, as to this, there may be a difference, from the different temper of the patients, and the different stock and temper of the animal spirits in them. This girl, as I have observed before, was of a bold, undaunted spirit, and might bear those sights, from what cause soever, without any fear or perturbation, which others of more passive tempers, and a less stock of animal spirits, could not so well endure. There seems to have been this difference among the prophets themselves ; whereof some, as we read, received the prophetical influx with great terrors, labour, and consternation, of which they complained when their visions or apparitions were over, and desired of God to be excused from the prophetical influx, and the burthen of it; but, of others, we do not read they had any such complaints. One of the last questions I asked this girl was, if she desired to have the Second Sight taken from her, to which she replied, what God pleased. After I had discoursed with her in this manner, as long as I thought convenient, I returned home, and gave the Duke an account of my conversation, with which he was pleased ; and I also told him of my promise to intercede with his Grace for her liberty, upon condition she might go into England : but he said that would not be convenient for certain reasons. After receiving which answer, I sent her word I could not obtain her liberty ; and so she was shut up all the while we were there, but, soon after we came away, she was set at liberty. When I heard of it, I made all the inquiry I could what was become of her, and how she came to obtain her liberty; but I could not get any further account of her, which made me suspect that she was the child of some person of honour or quality, for whose sake all things were hushed. When I was with her, I asked of her parentage, but she would tell me nothing of it : I also told her how 1 observed how her words and expressions were of the better sort, and asked her how she, being a Highlander, and in appearance a poor girl, came to speak so well. To this she artfully replied, by asking me why I should suppose it so difficult for her to learn to express herself well. Indeed, her wit and cunning were both answerable to her assurance, which I told you was very great. I designed to give a second visit, but my first made so much noise about the town, that it was not thought fit; and I did not press for leave again, because I had reason to believe the denial of her liberty would make her sullen and reserved. The famous Lord Advocate, Sir George Makenzie, of immortal memory, designed to write her history : but why he did not, I can give no account. SAMUEL PBPTS. 281 People were divided in their opinions of her : some suspected her for an impostrix: but others, of whom I was one myself, thought that she really was what she pretended ; being induced to that opinion from the notoriety of the facta which the most incredulous and suspicious could not deny.

The story T told you the other day relating to what they call in Scotland the Second Sight, is of soe old a date, and soe many of the circumstances out of my memory, that I must begin, as old women doe their tales to children, " Once upon a time." The matter was thus : — One day, I know by some remarkable cir- cumstances it was towards the middle of February, 1661-2, the old Earl of Newborough' came to dine with my father at Worcester-House, and another Scotch gentleman with him, whose name I cannot call to mind. After dinner, as we were standing and talking together in the room, says ray Lord Newborough to the other Sfotch gentleman, who was looking very steadfastly upon my wife, " What is the matter, that thon hast had thine eyes fixed upon my Lady Cornbury' ever since she came into the room ? Is she not a fine woman ? Why dost thou not speak V — " She's a handi5ome Lady indeed," said the gen- tleman, " but I see her in blood." Wliereupon my Lord Newborough laughed at him ; and all the company going out of the room, we parted ; and I believe none of us thought more of the matter ; I am sure I did not. * Sir James Livingston, Bart., of Kinnaird, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Charles L, who cteated him Visooont Newbnrgh in 1647.

In the beginning of the next month she fell ill of the small-pox : she was always verj apprehensive of that disease, and used to say, if she ever had it, she would dye of it. Upon the ninth day after the small-pox appeared, in the morning, she bled at the nose, which quickly stopt ; but in the afternoon the blood burst out again with great violence at her nose and mouth, and about eleven of the clock that night she dyed almost weltering in her blood. This is the best account I can now give of this matter, which tho' I regarded not at the time the words were spoken, yet upon reflection afterwards, I could not but think it odd, if. not wonderful!, that a man only looking upon a woman, whom he had never seen before, should give such a prognostick. The great grief I was then in, and going quickly after out of towne, prevented my being so inquisitive as I should have been after the person of this Scotch gentleman, and into other things. You will not wonder that, after soe long a distance of time, I cannot give a more particular account of a thing which seems soe very extraordinary. But I have kept you too long upon soe imperfect a subject, and will conclude with assuring you that I am, with great esteem, Sir, your most affectionate and humble Servant, Claeendon. C. orig.] jy yfallii to S. Pepys. Oxford, October 24, 1699. Sir — In a letter of your's. to D' Charlett, I find you are pleased to speak kindly of me; and particularly of what account I have given of the eclipse lately seen at Oxford, which, by reason of a great mist, could not be seen at London. What account that was I have now forgot, as I quickly shall what I now write ; and be- cause you were desirous to see it, I send now a scheme of that ob servation. It is intended for the Philosophical Transactions, but, how soon it will be there inserted I know not; and do, therefore, in the mean time, send you the copy which D' Gregory was pleased to give me. My daugher Blencowe, who, with the Judge,' her husband, made me a visit in their passage to London, tells me that knowing nothing of the eclipse before, but being then writing a letter about 9 o'clock, finding the light of the sun look somewhat dim, she looked out to see what the matter was, and found it to be an eclipse. I asked her how the light appeared to her : the best account she could give of it was, much like that in the evening a ' Sir John Blencowe, Enight, made in ] 697 one of the Justices of the Coma on Pleiw. SAMUEL PBPYS. 283 little before sunset. And I believe it to be a good account ,and much as it appeared to us at Oxford ; and more than that I know not why any body should expect. Of your queries to M' Hudson,' I doubt he will be able to give you but a short account from old historians; T doubt scarce any better than that of Acts xxvii. I can partly guess, from a little experience I once had, in a short voyage, if I may so call it, from Stangate Hole to Westminster Bridge." I had one Sunday preached for M' Gataker, at Kedriff,' and lodged there that night. Next morning I walked with him over the fields to Lambeth, meaning there to cross the Thames to Westminster. He showed me in the passage diverse remains of the old channel, which had heretofore been made from RedrifiF to Lambeth, for diverting the Thames whilst London Bridge was building, all in a straight line or near it, but with great intervals, which had been long since filled up : those remains, which then appeared very visible, are, I suspect, all or most of them filled up before this time, for it is more than fifty years ago, and people in those marshes would be more fond of so much meadow grounds, than to let those lakes remain unfilled ; and he told me of many other such remains which had been within his memory, but were then filled up : but thus much by the way. When we came to Stangate Hole,* over against Westminster Bridge, we took a boat, in a thick mist, intending for Westminster Bridge just across the water. When we had been at sea, for so I must call it, three times as long as would have been sufficient for the voyage, we made land, and discovered a shore with flags and reeds, and found ourselves within a bow-shot of the place from whence we first launched. We then put to sea again, and when we had a second time spent about as much time, we met another vessel just a-head of us : we hailed the boat and asked whither they were * The editor of the Geographi Minoree, ^ The landing-place leading from the Thames to New Palace Yard, still used by the Lords Mayor, on their way to be sworn into office at the Exchequer, was styled in the old Maps "Westminster Bridge." — Smith's Antiq. of Weatminater. There had been a plan for building a bridge across the Thames near this place, in 1664, which is thus noticed in the Correspondence of the French Ambassador with Louis XIV. " Sur ce qui avoit 6t6 propose, de faire un pent devant Withall pour passer do c8t6 de Faxall, la Ville s'y est opposg par des vives remonstrances ; et le Roy a declare quo de son vivant il n'y consentirait, ce qui a extrSmement satisfait lea bate- liers, qui sont un corps fort considerable dans cette VlUe."

I expostulated with our boatmen how it was possible they could so mistake, and thought they might at least know whether they rowed with or against tide ; they told me, though if they were at anchor they could tell which way the stream ran, yet, being in motion, they could only know what strokes they made with their oars, but knew not what they made at each stroke, unless they could see the shore ; nor was there any wind stirring, whereby to direct their course. I told them, if they could now set their steerage right, I would be their steersman, to hold on the same course. It was now winter ; and in such oases, though little wind stirring, we might discern the motion of our own breath, and by observing this I could see when we varied from the course designed, and accordingly directed them to row more to the right or left hand, as there was occasion : and by this steerage we came within the noise of the people at Westminster Bridge, and then made up to them. Now, if we had then been wandering for half an hour or more, in so short a passage as just across the Thames, we may well conjecture at what a pass those must be who, in the wide sea, without sight of land, had no help from sun, moon, or stars, to direct their course, when as yet the magnetic helps were not known. They must then be obliged to keep within sight of land, and littora legere, without pulling out to sea, unless in fair weather, when the sun or stars might guide them ; and if by chance they were surprised at sea in dark weather, they must be perfectly at a loss, having little else to help them, excepting soundings, or remembering from what point the wind blew when the darkness began, guessing that it might continue to blow from the same quarter. What better information M' Hudson may get you from ancient circumnavigations, I leave to him ; and, having begged your pardon for the impertinences of a tedious letter, remain, Sir, your very humble Servant, John Wallis.

Hon'' Sir, — ^Tis with no small pleasure that I am at length come to date from this renowned city; nor will it, I am persuaded, be an unwelcome circumstance to you. We made our entry here on Tuesday last, about 23 o'clock, and were soon afterwards deafoned SAMUEL PEPYS. 285 with the jangling of all the bells of the town, which, for several days, morning and evening, had proclaimed the approach of the holy year. Our first visit was, as you may imagine, to S' Peter's, to see the preparations for this great solemnity, where we found them busy in building the scaffolds about the Porta Santa, which is a lesser door on the right hand entering within the Portico. The Portico runs the whole length of the Faociata, and is about twice the breadth of that before Covent Garden Church : without it, nothing of the opening of the door could be seen, nor within it, much further than the middle door, which afforded but little space for scaffolds : part whereof was destined for the Queen of Poland and her suite, part for the Ambas- sadors, and part for the Ladies, Roman and Foreign ; and a separate one, the most remote, for the gentlemen strangers, where not above 100, I am sure, could see well. The seats for the Cardinal and Bishops, &c., assisting were on the area, where, also, were a good number of persons of the first quality to be admitted. But with all this, I entertained but very little hopes of seeing what I was come so far for, till encouraged by Father Mansfield, Doctor of the College of English Jesuits here, to whom I was recommended by my Lady Throgmorton ' and Sir D. Authur, he having an interest with the 2 prelates appointed for the placing of strangers ; by which means, in short, and force of crowding, M' Martin and I have had the good fortune to see all the minutest parts of this most solemn ceremony, the whole process of which falling under my notice was this : — The morning, being yesterday the 24"", was ushered in with the jangling of bells I have mentioned : soldiers, like those of our Trained Band, were placed in different quarters of the town, to prevent dis-^ orders, and chiefly in the Piazza of S' Peter's, where were the Swiss Halberdiers, in red and yellow, and a troop of horse, in armour, drawn up. About 16 o'clock we got into our places, and about 23 began the procession from the Vatican, through the Corridore into the Piazza, and so into the Portico, drums beating, &c., all the while. First came the Choiristers and officiating Priests, with tapers in their hands, singing; then the Bishops; and, last of all, the Cardinals in their Pontificalibus ; the Cardinal de Bouillon, appointed by the Pope^ to perform this office in his stead, by reason of his extreme illness, closing the whole, and being distinguished from the rest by a mitre of rich gold stuff, the others being of white damask.

Hav- ing given the last stroke, he retired a little, and down fell the door which made no small dust, being of brick, plastered on both sides, and kept together by a frame of wood round, and supported on the inside with props, which, being taken away, it fell into a case set to receive it, for its more ready removal : the Cardinals, &c., entering afterwards to sing vespers, and the people, by degrees, following in most astonish- ing crowds. There was a throne, with six palls, prepared for the Pope, of crimson velvet, close by the door ; but, he not being there, no use was made of it. The scaffold was hung with tapestry and crimson damask, with stripes of golden galoon, as are also the pilasters of S' Peter's and some other of the churches of the city. In the mean time, others of the Cardinals, &o., in cavalcade, went to the Campidoglio, and there divided, to go to the other churches, to open each of their Holy Gates also ; but of this I saw nothing. The chief English here were my Lord Exeter and lady,' Lord Mounther- mer,' M' Cecil, M' Bruce, &c., my Lady Salisbury" being prevented by the small-pox breaking out that very morning, of which she is said to be dangerously ill. I afterwards saw the Cardinals' supper in the Vatican Palace, which both for form and substance, was very singular ; and from hence went to the midnight devotions at S' Lorenzo, where I heard most ravishing music suited to the occasion ; Paluccio, an admired young performer, singing, aud Corelli, the famous violin, playing, in concert with above 30 more, all at the charge of Cardinal Ottoboni, who assisted. The crowd still continues at S' Peter's so great, with pilgrims going in at the Holy Gate upon their knees, that I have not yet been able to make my way through it; but I have got a piece of the ruins of it, which will serve, in the mean time, to support my devotion.

Nephew — Believing that after so long silence as this, since my last to you of the 11" of March, it would be of no less satisfaction to you, than, I bless God ! it is to me, to be able to give you, under my own hand, the occasion of that silence, and this welcome account of its removal ; nevertheless, I have chosen to make use of M' Lorrains for what follows, which is to acquaint you, that it has been my calamity, for much the greatest part of this time, to have been kept bed-rid, under an evil so rarely known, as to have had it matter of universal surprise, and with little less general opinion of its dangerouaness ; namely, that the cicatrice of a wound occasioned upon my cutting for the stone, without hearing any thing of it in all this time, should, after more than 40 years perfect cure, all of a sudden, without any known occasion given for it, break out again, WILLIAM in From a scarce French engraving by Desrochers, atrer the painting by Vander Werff SAMUEL PEPYS. 289 and oall for an operation for its cure, by requiring the wound that has been so long asleep to be anew laid open, and rehealed, which it has been ; and, after that, a second time : but both successfully : I being, I thank God ! once more on my legs ; and, though my long lying in bed will cost me some time for the removal of my weakness, I am in no doubt of recovery. Though the pain and trouble occasioned by this evil have been very great, yet my Chirurgeon, M' Charles Ber- nard, a man of fame in his profession, never expressing the least doubt of my cure, and not having in the whole time suffered one quarter of an hour's sickness of stomach or elsewhere, I have not thought it of any use to interrupt you, and the business you are upon, with any imper- fect tydings thereof, till now that I can report it to you as a thing past. April 12, 1700. I go on with my borrowed hand, to tell you that, I thank God ! I not only continue, but improve in the recovery of my strength, which my necessary confinement, night and day, with my legs tied, in bed, had unavoidably sunk in a great degree, but without other prejudice to my general health. I am equally delighted with all I gather from your letters, relating to your health ; your thoughtfulness all along in making the most of your time every where, for the answering every laudable end of your travels ; the succinct account you give me of your employment and observations, your care of the commissions you stand charged with, and the memory you carry of the measure as well as the fruit of your expense. I pray God to continue you iu his good keeping, so that, at the close of your voyage, you may find cause to thank yourself for the benefits which this your conduct may reasonably entitle you to ! You want, I see, some news ; therefore let me be your postman, and tell you that the State has been for some time under no small convul- sion in Parliament, where the Ministers have been, most of them, by turns roughly handled : as one instance, the King has been but two days addressed to, from the Commons, that no person, principally aimed at the Dutch Lords, not born in his dominions, should be admitted to hia Council, either in England or Ireland ; and yesterday he prorogued the Parliament to the 25"" of next month, after having been contented to pass several Bills, which very few could persuade themselves he ever would have done, and particularly a Bill of Kesumption to the public of all the forfeited estates by the late rebellion in Ireland, which he had ac- tually distributed to an invidious value among a small number of persona he favoured, such as my Lords Portland, Galloway, Romney, Athlone, 25* 290 CORRESPONDENCE OF &c., and in particular M" Villiera, ' to whose share the late King's pri vate estate is fallen, valued at about 300,000?., or 25,000?. p' an. ' The old EastlndiaCompany have, tothejoy of all our nearest friends, obtained their great point against the now, by having got their Bill passed beyond all expectation, this Parliament confirming them in be- ing a separate Corporation. I shall here add another Bill, by which the Parliament, upon what new provocations or considerations I know not, has gone to a greater degree of severity against our Koman Catholics than their predecessors have everdone, by condemning all of them, who, being bred up in that profession, do not publicly and solemnly renounce it, and take upon thorn the Protestant Religion, at or before the age of 18; to forfeit their whole inheritance, be it never so great, and transferring the right thereof, ipso facto, to the next a-kin ; which, they say, do more than justify all the King of France does against his Protestant subjects. Another thing, indeed, there is, that looks somewhat a mitigation of our present laws, by repealing so much thereof as subjected to death every Romish Priest found among us, by condemning them now to perpetual imprisonment only ; but this also that party take to be much worse than what they were before exposed to, because so seldom found, by the ten- derness of our Juries, exacted from them. One thing more makes much talk here ; the Duke of Norfolk having obtained at last, this Session, his desired divorce from his wife, now bare Lady Mary Mordaunt ' again, from being the first Duchess of England, with liberty to marry again elsewhere.

Now my law afiairs are a little over for the present, I intend very speedily to make you a visit. I am extremely obliged to your Nephew for remembering so small an affair as the lettice seeds, of which my wife is very proud. I hope your being thus long at Clapham, for I think you were never so long in the country before, since you knew the world, will make you relish the pleasure of a garden, which will be no burthen to your other perfections. As to your inquiry concerning the Second Sight, and of what happened to me in reference to my first wife upon that occasion, I will tell the story to yourself when I see you, and it the mean time to D' Smith : and if either of you think it ' To which he had recently succeeded, and where he passed the remainder of his life.

I suppose it will be no news to tell you of my Lord Shrewsbury's once more quitting his employment at Court, and that the Lord Chamberlain's place is conferred on my Lord Jersey. Who will be Secretary of State in his room is not yet determined : my Lord Lexington and M' Hill of the Treasury, are both spoken of; but it is said that office will not be filled till the King returns from Holland, so that M' Secre- tary Vernon will be sole Secretary for some time ; and some are of opinion that, after the King returns, M' Blathwayt ' may be the man : but all this is only imagination ; perhaps, after all, this office may be disposed of before the King goes. My Lord Romney you see now possessed of three great places, which, in your time and mine, were thought sufficient stations for three considerable men : but, according to the old Proverb, Kissing goes by favour. It can be no secret to you, that the proposals for farming the Revenue of Excise are all rejected, and that branch put under the management of a new Com- mission, in which there are some very able men ; and your neighbour, M' ToUett, I am told, is Secretary to that Commission, which I am very glad of, for he is both an honest and very able man. I think this letter is become as tedious as my visits used to be, and therefore I will conclude, with assuring you that I am, with all possible esteem, Sir, Your most affectionate and very humble Servant, Clarendon.

You will now suspect some- thing by this disordered hand ; truly I was too happy in these little domestic affairs, when, on the sudden, as I was about my books in the library, I found myself sorely attacked with a shivering, followed by a feverish indisposition, and a strangury, so as to have kept, not my chamber only, but my bed, till very lately, and with just so much strength as to scribble these lines to you. For the rest, I give God thanks for this gracious warning, my great age calling upon me sar- cinam componere every day expecting it, who have still enjoyed a wonderful course of bodily health for 40 years. And now to give you some further account of your favourite, I will make you part of what he wrote from Oxon., though it come somewhat late, as to what he acquaints me of the most unhappy catastrophe of that excellent poet and philosopher, M' Creech.

I am just now informed that Sir Godfrey Kneller has drawn our Chancellor, the Duke of Ormond, at full length, which the Duke has some thoughts of bringing down himself; and it is very probable Sir Godfrey may come with His Grace, he having done 80 only for his pleasure twice or thrice within these three years. I must also add, that D' Wallis was a little out of order last night, though I fear we shall have much ado to hinder him this morning from Church, the Earl of Rochester being also to be there, to whom I then read your most obliging inclinations. He seemed, to say the truth, very fond and pleased with the thoughts of having his picture pre- sented to the University by your hands; M' Pepys and the late Lord Charles Somerset being the two persons most in his honor and estima- tion.

Before this preferment was known, he had the satisfaction to see the respects of the University, by an offer made to him from the best and most considerable part of the University, of the office of Public Registrar, a place of great trust and credit, as M"' Hudson has the custody of the Bodleian Library upon the resignation of C Hyde. I am sure this news will be acceptable to so great a lover of the public good, not only for your personal affection, but for the pleasure you take in seeing so generous and public a spirit prevailing here to postpone private interests in favour of eminent worth and abilities. M' Tanner can best tell how very sensible I am of the numerous long train of civilities I receive from M' Pepys, and with what respect and delight D'' Wallis, D' Gregory, and several others unknown to you, acknowledge your patronage and affection to the Universities ; which will be ever too hard for their enemies, as long as they can preserve their credit with such judges as yourself, though herein I am sure you show more of the friend altogether, in pardoning the addresses of, Sir, your, &c., Ar.

On Friday the 18th, about 4 in the afternoon, Felipe V" made his entry here ; not with much pomp, but a most surprising concourse of coaches and people. For several miles, I might say leagues, out of town, the road was so thronged, that his Ma* was scarce able to make his way through, having, according to the Spanish manner, no guards before his coach, but only Magistrates with their white wands. He designed to have mounted on horseback at some distance from the town, as was gene- rally expected, but seeing the crowd and dust he had to encounter with, very prudently waved it, though to the disappointment of abund- ance that perhaps would have staid at home ; and particularly the ladies, who were very numerous, and the richest in clothes and jewels I ever saw. As a sad proof of the multitudes I speak of, no less than 40 men, women, and children, were trod under foot and killed outright, and above 100 are now said to be languishing under their bruises, and dying daily. Diverse of the dead, I saw, myself, lying heads and tails in a little neighbouring Chapel, where they were put till known and carried away ; among the rest were a Friar and a priest. I believe the like accident has not been heard of, nor would it cost so many lives to take the very town of Madrid. The occasion is somewhat differently told, but the most received account is this : That the oflBcers of the Customs, suspecting the people to take advantage of this confusion for running of goods so soon as the king was entered, shut the gates upon them ; and after-' wards opening them again on a sudden, the foremost fell, and upon them the next, and so on, to the number I have mentioned at least, and were immediately smothered without redress. Certain it is, that the mob bad this notion of it; for the same evening they came and plundered the Guards' Lodge, burnt all their Registers before their door, and then set fire to the house itself; but it went no further than the smoking the walk a little, and damaging a window. The next morn- ing, also, they assembled again, and we were apprehensive of the consequences, but by noon they drew quietly off without doing more : and now, for their satisfaction, I am told the Guardas have been put in prison, and the King has granted pensions to those poor families who suf- fered by this disaster. His Ma'' went directly to the Atooha ' to sing Te Deum, and thence to his Palace of the K.etiro,where in the evening he was ' A Dominican monastery at Madrid. SAMUEL PEPYS. 303 entertained with fireworks, prepared in the outermost court for the occasion, and performed at least as well as ours upon the Peace. The rockets, and other smaller fires, were in abundance, and the principal part which concluded the whole, was an engagement be- tween a Castle and 4 Men-of-War, which were contrived to move, and though they played their parts very well, were at last over- come. At the same time there were also illuminations quite, through the town, and these continued 3 nights together. Whoever has seen the Spaniards this day only, would have son- eluded them a very drunkeu people, having taken their cups very freely, and laid aside their gravity. They were generally pleased with the person of the King, at first sight; but, by putting on the golilla,^ with his whole Court, on Sunday last, he has entirely won their hearts : he hunts and shoots every day, and by this means, and a free admission to his Court, is already become very well known to his people. What is to be excepted against in his entry is, their coming in no parade or order : His Ma'' in a filthy old coach of the late King's, without guards; his better sort of at- tendants, some on horseback, and some in coaches, at half-au-hour's distance from one another; and diverse of the inferioor sort attending the baggage, in so very ragged clothes as exposed them extremely to the scorn of the Spaniards. But this, indeed, was not the entry we have all along talked of; that will not be till after Lent, and some say till May, for which triumphal arches are preparing, and bulls feeding, with other things, which out friends would make us believe are worth staying for; but I cannot — at least, if you should think them so, might return from Lisbon in time enough to see them. I had been gone from hence ere this, had my companion used the same diligence with myself, and I fear it will be Sunday before we set out for Seville. The change of Ministers here I shall not trouble yon with, you not being acquainted with the names on either side. The Cardinal is the Do-all.

Of this there has been many examples ; several of Mi Pepys's friends continuing so, notwithstanding all accidents, till death ; and the rest are likely to do the same.

Sir — You have been pleased to put an honour upon me which I could not deserve, nor did expect — to send so worthy an artist as Sir Godfrey Kneller, from London to Oxford, to take my picture at length, and put the charge of it to your own account; I wish it may be to your content. It had been more agreeable to my cir- cumstances, if you had commanded my attendance to wait on you at London ; which I should have readily obeyed, if my age would permit it. Till I was past fourscore years of age, I could pretty well beir up under the weight of these years ; but since that time, it hath been too late to dissemble my being an old man. My sight, my hearing, my strength, are not as they were wont to be. Then I have no cause to complain of God's providence, through whose goodness I do yet enjoy as much of ease and health as I can reason- ably expect at these years ; and, though you, and some other friends, are pleased to think me not quite unserviceable, yet I must not so far flatter myself as not to think but that it doth better become me to conceal the infirmities of age, than to expose them. I have endeavoured to express to Sir Godfrey the sense I have of your undeserved favour, by treating him with the respect due to a person of his quality : and, if I have been therein defective, I desire it may be imputed to the absence of my daughter, who is my housekeeper, but chanced to be now out of town ; whereby, 1 was obliged to depend on servants.

I should not fear the hazard of sending him abroad for four or five months, through Holland and Flanders to Paris — a tour that I, by your instructions, when time was, and with my wife, dispatched in two, to a degree of satisfaction and usefulness that has stuck to me through the whole of my life since.

But so it has fallen out that, by an unexpected return of an old evil, the Stone, I have been ever since under a continued incapacity, for these two years and more, of stirring out of doors, and at length was forced for life, as Dr. Charlett knows, to be brought hither, where I still am, and b08 CORRESPONDENCE OF am likely to be ; but with some hopes given me by Mr. Hewer, and some other of our friends, the last year, of seeing you here : and so this matter has stood, till Dr. Wallis, by your own hand, gave me from Oxford a very first word of my having, as he words it, sent you down thither, and the work's being done. Now, as much satisfied as T must again and again own I am, with the extraordinary instance of respect I have received from you in it, I submit it to you to judge of the reasonableness or unreasonableness of my surprise, at the man- ner of my friend's proceeding with me therein, when I have told you that Dr Charlett did me the favour of a double visit here about the month of August last, with promise of a third, and bringing Dr. Aldrich with him, before his return to Oxford; which I greatly expected, in order to the considering of some way, under my present distance from town, how to supply it to you in reference to this mat- ter : instead of which, I have not only never heard one word of or from him to this day, but without the least mention, either of your name or any thing at all of the picture, at either of his fore-mentioned visits, you have been pleased to tell me, to my no small confusion, for I swear it still looks like a dream to me, of his message from me to you, and what you have been doing upon it ; but pray take it along with you, that I say it is no unpleasing dream to me, but what I shall venture very hard, as soon as the weather shall favour it, to come by chair, and pay you my real thanks for.

Honoured Sir — Upon my return to London, on Sunday morning last, out of Huntingdonshire, where I had been to perform the last office of my function, as well as of friendship, to the excellently good Lady Cotton,' I met with the sorrowful news of the death of my learned friend, the Reverend D' Gale f but I cannot yet learn the ' Thomas Smith, S.T.P., a learned Writer and Divine, was born in London, 1638, and died there 1710.

I doubt not but that his Sons will talje all possible care of his papers, and especially of those which relate to the illustrating Cam^ien's Britannia, which he has formerly shown me, and publish in a convenient time, to the honour of their father's memory, and to the advancing of learning ; which, together with those learned books he himself published in his lifetime, will render him more illustrious to posterity, than any monument, be it never so stately, for his quality and character, they can erect in York minster. About three weeks since, Sir R Button' was struck with the dead-palsy on his left side : he has recovered the motion, tho' not the use of his hand and foot : and we hope that, upon settled, fair, and warm, weather, he may be restored to his former vigour, if yet his great age, he being now upon the brink to complete fourscore, may be supposed to permit it. The worser sort of Fanaticks, not to say the whole herd of them, begin to be dissatisfied with the new Queen, and pray for her conver- sion, as if she were of the religion of the King her father ; and herein they are followed by the Scotch Presbyterians : and we have here others, too, of greater quality and interest, who are of no religion, ,and mere Republicans, apt enough to foment discontents and jealousys among the people ; which, if not prevented, will render the Regal Government, for Monarchy admits of no difference or distinction of sex, very uneasy at home : and, without pretending to any insight into politics, but what common natural sagacity and foresight suggest to every considering man, it is presumed, that to obviate such ill designs, necessity of State, which is Ratio ultima Regum, requiring it, there will be a speedy alter- ation made among the Lord Lieutenants, Deputy Lieutenants, Justices of Peace, and Magistrates of Corporations, throughout all England. But this will depend upon the conduct of a wise Ministry, a regulated Council, well-chosen Officers, whether of Justice in Westminster Hall or in the Army and Navy, and in other great places of trust : otherwise we poor men, who are likely to receive little or no benefit by the late change, cannot but fear, out of a principle of true love to our country, that some disorders and disturbances may be attempted, which may be of ill consequence to the peace and happiness of it. These are our mel- ancholy reflections : but the more sanguine men of the complying Clergy of this church, who glory that they have got a daughter of King James the Second on the Throne, whom they promise to defend ' Sir Riilph Button of Shirbourne, in Gloucestershire, which county he repre. senicd in Parli.iment.

Vol. IV. — 27 310 CORRESPONDENCE OF against the pretended Prince of Wales, as if this, setting aside the last consideration, would atone for their horrible defection for these last thirteen years, set before their eyes the glories and felicities of Queen Elizabeth's long reign, as if it were in all things to be the just and per- fect model of the present. To bring others, who have hitherto preserved their faith and their principles entire and inviolate, into the same con- demnation with themselves, they are propagating scandalous, lying, vil- lanous stories and reflections upon the honour, virtue, and innocence of King James and his Queen, in order to make several non-jurors believe that the Prince of Wales, the abjuring of whom is with them the great difficulty they cannot so easily and readily get over, is not their Son, but a counterfeit and mere supposititious child. And this is done especially by one of the Episcopal Order, who is outrageously, as after his demure way, to tell such as consult him that, upon his salvation, he believes the whole transaction of that affair to be mere juggle and imposture. But when I shall acquaint you at large with the weakness and falseness of his pretended proofs and allegations, grounded on hearsay, and stories hor- ribly perverted, not only against the truth of fact which was so notorious, and so well attested by persons of untainted and unquestionable honour and honesty, then present, but even almost against the very possibility of things, you will wonder how a man of his learning, great age and gra- vity, can be so infatuated, as first to believe, and then, with such a sem- blance of piety and religion, labour to make others believe such wicked and diabolical calumnies. But these things are better, and with great- er satisfaction, discoursed of than written : and, therefore, I will defer the detail of them till I wait on you; which neither my impatience and inclination, nor my readiness to gratify M' Cherry,' who is very ambitious of kissing your hands, will suffer me to defer too long. Aftar the chagrin which the contents of this long tedious letter may cast you into, I have, to divert you, and to restore you to your natural good hu- mour, enclosed a paper, containing an Epitaph upon the late high and mighty Dutch Hero, as also some few heroic lines upon Sorrell ;^ which, after a single reading, I presume you will throw into the fire.

He sent me word it was in your possession ; but M' Home having assured me, by your order, that it would be sent speedily, I am in hopes to find it there against the Queen's coming to Oxford, which will be on Wednesday next, she being also, notwithstanding her haste, pleased very graciously to receive a dinner on Thursday from the University.

I could have wished M' Jackson and M' Wanley had been of the same number. Such a meeting could not fail of paying their respects and acknowledgements to the worth and favours of' M' Pepys, in all the circumstances, as to regard and esteem. It is now time to thank you for the pleasure of M' Jackson's conversation, of which very little came to my share, — enough only to raise an appetite to more. I protest I have been afraid to write to you, Sir, this twelvemonth, thinking it more proper for discourse than letter ; for I can assure you I was equally ignorant and surprised at the conduct of Sir G. Kneller, when I understood, at my return from London, that Sir Godfrey had been at Oxford to draw the picture, having said no more to him than, in general words, that you wished such a thing. However, I am very glad it is so admirably done, tho' I doubt not, besides the point of good manners, your judgment might have added to the beauty of the contrivance. But the Painter's fancy was warm, and his imaginations not to be controuled, it seems, with delays. I was informed that it was drawn in D' Gregory's house, where both the Dean and he were present the whole time of action : but I have not had the pleasure of seeing it yet. I find C Hudson has provided a very proper place in the Gallery, next to Sir Harry Savile, the Founder of the Mathe- matic Lectures.

Worthy Sir — If I had not been before acquainted with your generosity and innate goodness, I should have been at a loss to think what should move you to do me the honour, and put yourself to so great a charge on that account : but great men will do great things, and show great expressions of their kindness to those whom they are phased to favour, a great deal beyond what they can pretend to merit. I did not see the persons who, by your order, did accompany the picture ; otherwise I ought by them to have returned my thankful acknowledgment of the honour done me, in placing so noble a picture of me in so eminent a place. I trust Master Vice-Chancellor did, by them, return you the thanks of the University for that noble present; which I hope they will be careful long to preserve, as a lasting me- morial of your munificence, and of the great skill of Sir Godfrey Kneller, which is highly commended, when I shall be forgotten. The great care you took that the University should not be suffered, on this occasion, to be at one penny charge, is a piece of civility so like yourself, that it vrill not be easy to find a precedent. My bare thanks, which I humbly tender, are a thing so inconsiderable, that I should be ashamed to ofier them, if I had ought else worthy of you, to be presented from.

Most Honoured Sir — I had the honour of both your letters to- gether, at my Lord Digby's, at Colsil,' having sent for my Oxford paequet to Coventry, whither the carrier by appointment had brought them. It was a very sensible satisfaction to me, that the obscurity of Sir Godfrey Kneller's proceedings were unveiled, which to me were all shadow, and natural cause of umbrage. Your extraordinary care, and conduct, and judgment, and civility, in all the method and cir- cumstances of placing it in the Bodleian Gallery, require a particular and distinct acknowledgment, and look like a Roman consecration of some of their ancient statues. I am sure it has made a very pleasing journey, and most obliging entertainments, and conversations of two very good Lords, less agreeable, by detaining me from the sight of ' Colesbill, in Warwickshire.

By D'Eadcliffe's prescription, I have been in a short course of riding, as the best remedy against rheumatism, the relapse of which I must fence against. I intended at first only a fortnight's absence ; but good weather, agreeable company, and no disaster with horses, is like to keep me out a little longer. I propose an hundred miles a week, which makes travel so easy, as to cross a sentence of Lord Burghley's, who, I suppose, was no traveller, often quoted by D' Wallis, that he seldom knew either man or horse the better /or travel. I have been through the Counties of Gloucester, Worcester, StaflFord, and Warwick ; Eclesal Castle, and Newport in Shropshire, were the two most remote northern points; a very small temptation would* have carried me thence again to Chatsworth in the Peak, notwith- standing I had the year before made a particular progress thither; but as it was then too early to see the cascades and water-works play, so I was apprehensive it might now be too late ; but if M' Isted had been with me, I should have adventured. As I passed from Wolverhampton, good fortune, more than design, made me acquainted that 1 was near the scene of King Charles the Second's escape, which soon determined me to take a guide to those woods, where I found at Boscobel House, some of the Pendrils re- maining, that were present at that glorious transaction. It is no small offence and scandal to the neighbourhood, and, indeed, to the lovers of loyalty, fidelity, and integrity, to hear the complaints of these plain people, of their pensions being stopt in the last reign, which also will be no small rebuke to the late administrators. I remember King James, during whose reign the pensions were most exactly paid, viewed it in his progress, which gave you an opportu- nity of a nice view. The trunk of the Royal Oak is now enclosed within a round wall, with an inscription, which having no date, I cannot tell whether you have seen it ; however, I have transcribed it for M' Jackson. The digging up of vast quantities of firs mentioned by our friend D' Plot, in his History of Staffordshire, seems to me most strange and wonderful. In passing from Newport by the great Mears of Fordon and Aquilat, belonging to the Skrymshires, I saw the country people digging them up for fuel : they lie 1 — 2 — 3 feet deep ; some are very long and entire. Also very large oaks are dug up, which sometimes are serviceable for laths. If you ask the country people how long they think they have lain there, their answer is, Ever since Nyal's ' Flood ; which perhaps may be the best.

So that what you thank me for, would indeed prove matter for mortification to any but you : though by the too kind reception I find it meets with from several of my friends about you, it seems to be otherwise thought of by them ; namely, the Master, Dr. Hudson, Dr. Gregory, and more particularly by Mr. Vice- Chancellor, and what he bespeaks my further expecting from the University; while, at the same time, I cannot hut think myself already overpaid in tbe content you are pleased to own from it, and the honour I have secured to my own name by it, in the place it holds at the foot of Dr. Wallis ; to whom I pray God grant many more happy days of painless health, and tranquillity of thoughts; remaining.

My worthy Friend — I had not deferred so long either from wait- ing on you, or giving you an account of my impertinent life, since I had last the happiness to kiss your hands at your Paradisian Clapham, had my own health and several other uneasy circumstances since I came here, permitted me to repay the many kind friends their visits, for which I stand yet a debtor. In the first place it did not a little grieve me, that coming so near you, when I past almost by your door, it was so late, that with no small difficulty we got to Lambeth whilst it was tolerably light ; and with more that, when we came to the water- side, neither of the ferry boats were there, or could be gotten to return till it was dark, very cold and uncomfortable passing. Since I came to Dover Street I have scarcely enjoyed three or four days without incessant and pungent attacks proceeding from gravel, dis- abling both my body and mind from some sort of activity, till now competently enjoyed, considering my great age. I have yet at last gained so much relaxation, as to employ the very first opportunity of sending you this volant messenger, to let you know, in whatever place or state I am, you have a most faithful servant. I was continually out of order in the country last summer; yet with such intervals as did not altogether interrupt my taking some satisfaction in the improvement I had made, partly in the BAMUBL PHPTS. 321 dwelling-house, and without doors, for conveniences suitable to our economy, without reproach among our neighbours, — my taste for things superfluous being extremely altered from what it was : every day called upon to be ready with my packet, according to the advice of Epictetns, and a wiser Monitor, who is gone before to provide better places and more lasting habitations. In the mean while, one of the greatest consolations I am capable of, is the virtuous progress which my Grandson continues to make in an assiduous ealtivation of the talents God has lent him. Having formerly seen his own country, as Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, and the little towns about Oxford, he went this summer, with bis Uncle Draper, as far as the Land's End, which was an excursion of a month. The next progress, if God continue health, is designed to be Northward, as far as Newcastle : in the interim, he is perusing such authors and maps as may be assistant to the speculative part of these motions ; and, to supply the present unfavourable period for travelling in foreign countries, has learned the Italian tongue, and intends to proceed to the Spanish, having already the French from a child ; whilst his inclinations more seriously lead him to History, Chronology, Mathematics, and the study of the Civil Law, which he joins with our Municipal Constitutions, without which he finds a country gentleman makes but a poor figure, and very useless. He not only keeps but greatly improves his Greek, by diligently reading their histories ; and now and then, amongst other exercises, he turns some passages into Latin, translates select Epistles out of Cicero and Pliny, and letting them lye by some time, lest the impression of the style and phrase prepossess him, turns them into Latin again, the better to judge of his improvement. He has his time for his Agrestic Piute, in which, with his Tutor, M' Bannister, they spend a morning's hour together. He is likewise M' Hale's scholar, and goes to the Fencing School here ; and when in the country takes as much pleasure with his handbill and pruning-knife about our grounds and gardens, as I should do if I were able. Sometimes, if weather and neighbours invite, he hunts with them ; my worthy friend M' Finch using that diversion when he is in tolerable health ; in sum, finding him so moderately and discreetly disposed, studious, and mindful of his own improvement, I give him free liberty, and I bless God ! have never found any indulgence prejudice bim. It is a great word when I assure you I never yet saw him in a passion, or do a fault for which he deserved reproof. And now you will no more believe half this, Vol. rv.— 28 322 CORRESPONDENCE OF than 1 do of what Xenophon has written of his Cyrus ; however, it entertains an old dotard, and as such I relate it. Now, as for myself — I cannot but let you know the incredible satisfaction I have taken in reading my late Lord Clarendon's History of the Rebellion, so well, and so unexpectedly well written — the pre- liminary so like that of the noble Polybius, leading us by the courts, avenues, and porches, into the fabric ; the style masculine ; the char- acters so just, and tempered without the least ingredient of passion or tincture of revenge, yet with such natural and lively touches as show his Lordship well knew not only the persons' outsides, but their very interiors ; whilst yet he treats the most obnoxious, who deserved the severest rebuke, with a becoming generosity and freedom, even where the ill conduct of those of the pretended loyal party, as well as of the most flagitious, might have justified the worst that could be said of their miscarriages and demerits ; in sum, there runs through this noble piece a thread so even, and without breach or knot in the whole contexture, with such choice and profitable instructions natu- rally emerging from the subject, as persons of the sublimest rank and office need not be ashamed to learn their duty, and how to govern themselves, and from the lapses and false politicks of others, how the greatest favourites and men in grace should be examples of modesty and temperance, undated, easy, and accessible without abusing their power ; whilst, being apt to forget themselves, and the slippery preci- pices they stand on, they too often study, not so much how to make their treading sure by the virtue of justice, moderation, and public spirit, as to raise themselves fortunes, and purchase titles and adora- tions, by flattering the worst and most destructive inclinations of Princes in the most servile compliances and basest offices. What I have written more in this style, and from my heart, to my present Lord Clarendon, who sent me his father's books, I wish you had seen, for I acknowledge myself so transported with all the parts of this excellent History, that, knowing as I did most of the persons then acting the tragedy, and those against it, I have no more to say, but much, very much to admire, not doubting but the rest which follows will be still matter of panegyric, and justify the highest epithets ; and that, by the time he has done, there will need no other history or account of what passed during the reign of that suffering and unfortunate Prince, to give the world a piece equal to anything extant, not only in our own poorly furnished history of this, but of any nation about us. To conclude : it required no little SAMUEL PBPTS. 323 skill, prudence, and dexterity, to adventure so near the truth with- out danger or just resentment of those who deserved so ill, as no reflections could have been severe enough. But I have done : let what I have written to his Lordship speak the rest of my senti- ments on this author and noble work. Thus, what I would wish for myself and all I love, as I do Mr. Pepys, should be the old man's life, as described in the distich, which you deservedly have attained ; ita, Senis, libri, domus, hortus, leotus amicus, Vina, Nepos, ignis, mens hilaris, pietas.

Sir, — I have not been unmindful of your commands, neither can I ever neglect what is enjoined me by so worthy a friend, but it re- quired some time to receive such an account of that matter as I might depend upon. After the strictest inquiry, I find none of our Clergy placed in your neighbourhood nearer than Mitcham, where lives one M' Higden, a very ingenious person, who married the late Lord Stowel's sister ; but I believe you may have one with greater ease from London, by reason of the conveniency of public convey- ances. Our friend. Dean Hicks, is at present at Oxford; but if you will be pleased, whenever your occasions require it., to send to M' Spinks, who has the honour of being known to you, he will be sure to wait on you, and take such measures that you may alwaies be supplied, whenever you stand in need of such assistance. He lodges at a Grlazier's in Winchester Street, near London Wall. You will pardon me. Sir, if I take this occasion to acquaint you with a pious work that is now carrying on by the joint assistance of our Nobility and Gentry, as well as of the Bishops and Clergy. The States of Holland have consented that the Church of England worship should be established at Rotterdam; and that it may be performed with its due solemnity, there is a design encouraged of building a Church in that place, which by estimate will cost 3500?. ; ' The learned and pious Kobert Kelson, author of The Fattt and Fativah, iee. Ob. Jan. 1714-16. 324 CORRESPONDENCE OP 1000?. of that sum must be buried to lay the foumdation : it will be no surprise to you who are acquainted with that situation. The Greneral Officers have contributed beyond expectation, military men having seldom any great zeal in such matters, and a great many of the Nobility and Gentry having taken this occasion to shew their zeal for the Church. The Duke of Marlborough has given it his particular countenance, and the expectation of 500?. from the Queen. I could not forbear laying this matter before you, whom Grod has blessed with such a plentiful fortune, which you know how to dis- pose of to the best advantage, and such as will turn you to good account at the great day ; and withall I beg that M' Hewer may be acquainted with this pious design, which will contribute so much to God's glory and the honour of the Church. I do most heartily wish you health and ease ; but if the Providence of God thinks fit to try you with the want of both, that you may find the comfort of religion under all your aflictions, and may make His will your choice and satisfaction. I am, with great respect. Your most faithful humble Servant, B. Nelson. C. orig.] Roger Gale to S. Pepys. York, March 8, 1702-3. Honoured Sir — I should have been not a little glad to hear by my Brother, that you had your health in a better measure than I now am sorry to find you have. It is no small pleasure to me to find you consult me in a matter which I have always wished to have an op- portunity to set in a right light, and that the account I now send is to a person who had rather hear the truth than strange stories. You will easily believe there is not much of that in it, when I assure you that for 3 months after my Father's death,' I never heard the least word of this apparition ; but, upon my return to Cambridge, I was surprized to find the story in every body's mouth. The whole was occasioned, as I found at my arrival hither, by one M' Hawley, a Vicar of the Minster, a person never of any credit, and a great talker; and it was observed, immediately upon his broaching this story, that he had dined that day at my Lord Mayor's table, where there was always wine e'nough. This person, coming to Cambridge to take his Doctor's degree, amongst other northern news, told this ' He died in the Deanery at York, April 8, 1702. Hu portrait is preserved vn the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge. SAMUEL PEPTS. 325 Story at the Vice-Chancellor's table, where was company enough, and I find it every where spread. The truth of the matter is as follows : — D' Stainforth, one of the Residentiaries of the Church, and whose stall is next but one to the Dean's, coming that day a little later than usual to prayers, found his own place and the next filled up by some strangers, so that he was obliged to seat himself in the Dean's. M' Hawley read the second lesson, and, coming down from the read- ing-desk, which stands in the middle of the Choir, did really mistake him for the Dean, and as usual made him a bow. D' Stainforth was sensible of his mistake at the very time, and therefore did not return it, the compliment not being due to him. D' Stainforth went imme- diately after Churnh to a neighbouring coffee-house, and was followed by most of the Clergy, and this M' Hawley, who there told this fine story, and expressed his amazement at the Dean's anger. But, upon the Doctor's telling the occasion of his mistake, he was only laughed at. D' Stainforth gave me the preceding account, and wondered at D' Hawley's, as he now is, impudence in setting about such a falsity. 'Twas an easy mistake, the D' being very much of my Father's size and make, not very unlike in the face, being pretty fat, and the stall where he sat dark. So that all the strangeness of this matter is, that D' Hawley should persist in his naration, knowing it to be false. Your most obliged humble Servant, HoGER Oale.

Another instance of the marvellous barbaric punishment of coating a door with human skin, possibly as a vindictive monition against sacrilege, has lately been brought under my notice, in connection with one of our most noted ecclesiastical monuments — namely, Westminster Abbey. Dart, in his History of the Abhey Church (vol. i., book ii., p. 64), relates the tradition then preserved in reference to a door, one of three which closed off a chamber from the south transept — namely, a certain building once known as the Chapel of Henry VIII., and used as a " Revestry." This chamber, he states, " is inclosed with three doors, the inner cancellated, the middle, which is very thick, lined with skins like parchment, and driven full of nails. These skins, they by tradition tell us, were some skins of the Danes, tann'd and given here as a memorial of our delivery from them. The doors are very strong, but here were, notwithstanding, broken open lately, and the place robb'd." Such was Dart's account in 1723. I was in pursuit of some existing vestige of these tanned relics of the Northman, of which, as yet, I can obtain no intelligence, when my attention was casually drawn by Mr. E. W. Cooke to the strange fact, that not far from the south transept a door still exists on which human skin is to be found. Mr. Que- kett, of the College of Surgeons, to whose skill in such questions we were APPENDIX. 329 indebted for proof of the tradition at Hadstock and other places, submitted this skin to his microscope, and it proved to be human. I inspected the door in question last week, and found the skin had been on both sides, the existing remains being found under the massive iron work. It is a small door leading to a chamber, intended, apparently, for a treasury, situated on the south side of the passage, originally the approach from the cloisters to the chapter-house. Within this chamber there is a small depository, or cell, doubtless for safe custody, with a smaller strong closet within, all of good masonry, and constructed in a remarkable part of the buildings of the ancient monastery, being probably a portion of the structure raised in the times of the Confessor. The doorway, however, in which the stout oaken door which bore the skiu is hung, and the strong chamber within, are of later date, possibly not older than the time of Abbot Litlington (about 1375). The oak door, however, has been certainly removed to its present position from some other place, since it appears to have been partly cut to fit the door-case. This, however, is not of recent adaptation, and I do not think it possible that it can have been the same door which Dart described, the position of which was not many yards distant. I imagine that when Lit- lington, who was a great builder, constructed the west side of the cloisters, and various works adjacent were carried out, this ancient door was removed from some other part of the buildings, and cut to fit the new door-case, the approach to a treasury, where the relics of the supposed Dane were pre- served in memoriam et terrorem. I say Dane, but without evidence it must be admitted of any tradition as regards this particular oaken production of very primitive carpentry, still, taken in conjunction with the tradition pre- served in regard to another door close by, that, namely, which led from the Abbey Church to the " Revestry," the fact which we owe to Mr. Cooke's keen observation, may well claim attention in reference to the repeated tra- ditions of savage punishment of the sacrilegious Northmen. I have recently understood that the doors at Rochester have been so entirely removed, that it is hopeless to seek for proof of the tradition recorded by Pepys. — Albert Wat. Page 174, Line 25.

All researches after the plan of Lisbon, made for Lord Sandwich, had, until very lately, proved fruitless.

The impreBsiou is one of those taken off on white satin, at Pepys's suggestion, but the en- graver is the well Icnown Dirk Stoop : the passage in the Diary probably should be read — " It ought to have been better done than by jobbing." The title agrees verbally with that given by Pepys, and the engraving contains not only Lord Sandwich's arms, but also his portrait : he is represented as holding a measuring rod, which marks the scale of miles. In spite of Pepys's opinion, it may be considered a fine specimen of the artist's skill : its rarity is very great: it is not mentioned in any list of Stoop's works, nor was it known to collectors. Neither the Pepysian, nor the Royal, nor the Museum collections possessed it. Lord Sandwich probably made presents only of the impressions. Dirk Stoop, who came to England in the suite of Katharine of Braganza, in the capacity of Court Painter, designed and etched a series of plates, de- scriptive of the ceremonials and pageants which took place on her marriage. Each etching is 1 foot 10 inches by 7 inches. A complete set is very rare; the British Museum Collection, however, possesses them. I.

The Plan of Lisbon, just mentioned, was probably supposed to belong to the series. Dirk Stoop also etched a large portrait of the Queen ; the rarity of which is so great, that only two impressions are known : viz., one in the Pepysian Library, and one recently presented to the Print Room of the British Museum, by John Hey wood Hawkins, Esq., of Bignor Park.

The design is a sort of classical affair, derived in type from the ciborium of the ancient and conti- nental churches : a composition of two Corinthian columns, engaged or dis- engaged, with a pediment. It occurs very frequently in the London churches, and may be occasionally remarked in country-town churches, especially those restored at the King's coming in. Any one who has ever seen the great Prayer Book of 1661, will at once recognise the allusion ; and it is a well-known fact that the frontispiece was drawn and engraved for the pur- pose mentioned above." — Oent.

Vane and Sir Francis Windebank, for service and communication of intelligence : only the Marquis of Hamilton, indeed, by his skill and inter- est, bore as great a part as he bad a mind to do, and had the skill to meddle no further than he had a mind. These persons made up the committee of state, which was reproachfully after called the junto, and enviously then in the Court the Cabinet Council." — Hist, of the Rebellion, vol. i., p. 211, edit., 1849.

It seems highly probable that some one in the Dutch inter- est might have seen Sir William's Book of Stratagems, and planned the memorable expedition against Chatham ; though the fact of the defenceless state of the River Thames, in the event of the Dutch ever becoming superior to us at sea. was too obvious to merit the appellation of a prophecy. APPENDIX. 335 B. LETTERS BETWEEN LORD ROBERT DUDLEY AND T[HOMAS] BLOUNT. The Correspondence of Lord Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester, relating to the death of his first wife, Amy Robsart,' belonged to a Collection of Letters lent by John Evelyn to Pepys, who appears not to have returned them. These papers have long been transcribed from the originals in the Pepysian Library ; but, not containing sufficient matter to form a separate volume, are here introduced, in the hope that the subject to which they relate may prove of some general interest, though the mystery hanging over the fate of the unhappy Amy Robsart has not been entirely removed. LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT.* Cosin Blount, Immediately upon your departinge from me, there came to me Bowes, by whom I do understande that my wife is dead, and, as he saithe, by a falle from a paire of atayres ; little other understandinge can I have of him. The greatness and the suddennesse of the mysfortune doth so perplex me, nntill I do heare from you how the matter standeth, or howe this evill doth light upon me, considering what the malicious world will bruyte, as I can take no rest. And, because I have no waie to purge myselfe of the malicious talke that I knowe the wicked worlde will use, but one, which is the verie plaine truth to be knowen, I do praye you, as you have loved me, and do tender me and my quietness, and as nowe my special truste is in you, that will use all devises and meanes you can possible for the learning of the truth, wherein have no respect to any living person ; and, as by your own travell and diligence, so likewise by order of lawe, I mean by calling of the Coroner, and charging him to the uttermost from me to have good regard to make choyse of no light or slight persona, but the discreetest and sub- stantial men, for the Juries ; such as for their knowledge may be able to search honourablie and duelie, by all manner of examynacions, the bottom ' Lady Anne Robsart, late wife of Robert Dudley, K. Or., died on Sunday, the 8th September, at a house of Mr. Foster's, three miles from Oxford, 1560, and was buried on Sunday the 22nd of September, in our Lady Church of Oxford. — (Bar. leian MS., 807, Fun. Certificate). Her name is also written Anne in an original Instrument under the hand of Sir John Robsart, dated 15th May, 4 Edward VI., by which he settles upon them, the marriage being then agreed upon, an annuity of 201. — Ohartce Misc., in the Augmentation Office : ex. inform. Rev. Josepta Hunter, ' Thomas Blount was of the family of that name, long seated at Sodingt/,n, in Worcestershire. His cousin, Sir Richard Blonnt, mentioned in p. 340, was the eon of Richard Blount of Mapledurhani, who died in 1564, whilst Lieutenant of the lower of London. Their relationship to Lord Robert Dudley has not been traced 336 APPENDIX. of the matter ; and far their uprightness will earnestlie and sincearlie deale therein, without respect. And that the bodie be viewed and searched ac- Bordinglie by them, and in everie respect to proceed by order and lawe. In the mean tyme, Cosiu Blount, let me be advertysed from you, by this berer, with all spede, howe the matter doth stande ; for, as the cause and the man- ner thereof doth marvellously trouble me, considering my case many waios, 80 shall I not be at rest, till I may be ascertayned thereof: prayinge you ever, as my truste is in you, and as I have ever loved you, do not dissemble with me, neither let any thinge be hid from me, but send me your trewe conoeyt and opinion of the matter ; whether it happened by evill chance, or by villainye, and faill not to let me heare oontynewallie from you. And thus fare you well, in moch haste from Windsore, this sixth of September, in the eveninge. Y' loving frend and kynsman, moch perplexed, B. D. I have sent for my brother Appleyarde,' because he is her brother, and other of her frendes also, to be theare, that they may be previe, and see how all things do proceede. THOMAS BLOUNT TO LORD ROBERT DUDLEY. Maie it please y" Lordshipe to understande that I have receyved youre letter by Brys, the contents whereof I do well perceyue : and that y" Lord- shipe was advertised by Bowes ymediatelie upon my departinge, that my ladie was deade. And also y" straite charge geven unto me, that I shnld use all the devices and policies that I can for the trewe understanding of the matter ; as well by myne owne travell, as by the order of lawe ; as in call- inge the Coroner; gevinge him charge that he chowse a discrete and sub- stancial jurie ; for the view of the bodie, and that no corrupcion shuld be used, or persons respected.

The present advertisement I can give to your L" at this tyme is, too trewe it is that my ladie is dead, and as it seamethe with a fall ; but yet how or whiche waie I cannot learne. Y" L' shall heare the maner of my proceedings since I cam from you ; the same nyghte I came from Windsore I laie at Abington all that nyght, and, because I was desirous to heare what newys went abrode in the Countrie, at my Supper I called for myne hoste, and asked hin> what newys was theare about, taking upon me I was going into Glooestershire ; he saide " theare was fallen a greate mysfortune within three or iiii myles of the Towne ;" he saide, " my Lorde Robert Duddeley's wyfe was deade ;" and I axed how, and he saide, "by a mysfortune, as he heard, by a fall from a payre of stayres:" I asked him by what chance? He saide, "he knewe not." I asked him what was his judgment and the judgment of the people ; he said, "some weare disposed to sale well and some evill." What is your judg- ment, said I ? "By my trothe," said he, " I judge it a mysfortune, because it chanced in that honest gentleman's house ; hys great honestie," said he, " dothe moche curb the evill thoughts of the people." Mythinkes, said I, that some of her people that wayted upon her, should somewhat sale to this. " No, Sir," said he, "but little, for it was said that they were heare at the fayre, and none left with her?" How myght that chance? said I. Then said he, "It is saide heare that she rose that dale verie earlie, and com- manded all her sorte to go to the fayre, and wold suffer none to tarrie at home." And thereof is moche judged, and trewlie, my Lorde, I did first learne of Bowes, as I met with him coming towards y" If of his owne beinge that dale ; and of all the rest of them beinge, who affirmed that she wold not that daie suffer one of her owne sorte to tarrie at home, and was so earnest to have them gone to the fayre, that with any of her owne sorte that made reason of tarrying at home, she was verie angrie, and cam to Mrs. Odingselle, the wedowe, that liueth with Anthony Fforster, who refused that daie to go to the fayre, and was verie angrie with her also, because she said it was no daie for gentlewomen to go in, but said the morrowe was moche better, and then wold she go ; whereunto my ladie answered and saide, " She mighte chowse and go at her pleasure, but all hers shuld go ;" and was verie angrie. They asked who shuld kepe her companye if they all went. She saide, M"- Owen shuld kepe her companye at dyner. The same tale dothe Pinto, who dothe dearlie [love] her, confirm ; certenly, my L'', as little while as I have bene here, I have hearde divers tales that maketh me to judge her a strange woman of mynde. In askinge of Pinto what she might thinke of this matter, either chance or villany ? she saide, " By her faithe she doth judge it were verie chance, and neither done by man nor by herself. For herself," she said, " she was a good vertuous gen- tlewoman, and daily would praie upon her knees ; and divers tymes she saith she hath heard her praie to God to deliver her from disperacionne." Then said I, she myght have an evell eye in her mind. " No, good M'- Blount," said Pinto, " do not judge so of my wordes : if you shuld so gather, I am sorie I saide so much." My Lord, it is most strange that this chance ■hoold fall upon you, as it passeth the judgment of any man to sale how it 29* 338 APPENDIX. is ; but then the tales I do heare of her make me to thinke she had a strange minde, as I will tell you at my cominge. But to the inquest you wuld have so verie cirouraspeotlie chosen by the Coroner for the understandinge of the truthe, y'" Lordshipe nedethe not to doubt of their -well chosinge. Before my cominge, the inquest were chosen, and part of them at the house ; if I be able to judge of men and of their ableness, I judge them, and speciallie some of them, to be as wise and as able men to be chosen on such a matter as anie men, beinge but Countrymen, as ever I saw, and as well able to answeare for there doing before whomsoever they may be called, and for there trewe search without respect of persons. I have done youre message unto them, and I have good hope they will conceal no fault, if any be ; for as they are wise, so are they, as I heare, part of them verie enemies to Anthony Fforster. God give them, in there wisdom, indifference, and then be they well chosen men. More advertisement at this tyme I cannot give your ]>; but, as I can lerne, so will I advertise, wyshinge y' If to put away sorrow and rejoice, whatsoever fall out of your owne innocency, by the which, in time doubt not, that malicious reports shall turn upon their backe that can be glad to wish or saie against you. And thus I humblie take my leve, from Cumner, this ll" of September. T' L"' life and loving T. B. T' L"* hath donne verie well in sending for M'- Appleyard. THOMAS BLOUNT TO LOKD ROBERT DUDIiET. I hane done y' Lordshep's message vnto the iurye, yon nede not to byde them to be carefull ; whether equitie is the cause or mallice to Fforster do forbyd it, I knowe not. They take great paynes to leame the truthe: to- morrowe I will wayte upon yo' L., and as I come I will brake my fast at Abington, and there I shall mete w'" one or two of the iurye, and what I can I will bringe. They be verie secrete, and yet do I heare a whysperinge that they can find no presumpcions of evill. And if I male saie to yo' L. my conscience, I think some of them be sorie for it, God forgive me ! and yf I iudge amysse, myne owne opinion is much quieted : the more I heare of it, the more free it doth appeare to me. I haue almost nothing that can make me so much to think that any man shnld be the doer thereof, as when I think yo' L. Wife before all other women, shuld haue such a chance : the circumstances and the many thinges w"' I can leame doth prswade me that onelie mysfortune hath done it, and nothing els. Myself will wayte vpon yo' L. to-morrow, and saie what I knowe. In the meane tyme, I humbliv tak my leave from Comnor, the 13th of September. To' Lshipe loving T. B. (1560.) APPENDIX. 339 LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT.' I hane reseved a letter from one Smythe, one that seamethe to be forman of the iurye. I prsere by his letter that he and the rest hathe and do travill yerie diligentlie and oircumspeotlle for the tryall of that matter whiche they haue charge of; and for any thing I hear, that, by any aerche or examynacone they can make in the world hitherto, it dothe plainlie ap- peare, he saithe, a verie mysfortune, •whiohe, for my owne parte, Cosin Blount, dothe much aatisfie and quiet me. Nevertheles, becaise of my thoroue quietnes and all others hereafter, my desire is that they may con- tynowe in their euquiory and examynacone to the vttermost, as longe as they lawfuUie male : yea, and when they haue geren there verdyt, though it be never so plainlie found, assuredlie, I do wishe that another substan- tiall company of honest men might trye againe for the more knowledge of truthe. I haue also requested S' Ric. Blount, who is a prfite honest gentle- man, to helpe to the furtherance thereof. I trust he be w"" you, or with Mr. Norris likewise, and Appleyarde, I heare, hath bene there, as I ap- pointed, and Arthure Robsart, her brothers ; yf any more of her frendes had bene to be had, I would also hane caused them to haue sene and bene previe to all the dealinge there. Well, cosin ! God's will be done ; and I wishe he had made me the porest [worm] that crepeth on the grounde, so this myschance had not happened to me. But, good cosin, according to my trust, have care above all things that there be playne, sencere, and direct dealing for the full tryall of this matter. Conoerninge Smythe and the rest, I meane no more to deale w" them, but let them proseade, in the name of God, aocordinglie, and I am ryght glad they be all strangers to me. Thus fare you well, in much hast, from Windsor, Y" loving frend and kinsman, B. D. LORD ROBERT DUDLEY TO THOMAS BLOUNT. Cosin Blount : — Vntill I heare from you againe howe the matter fallethe out, in verie truthe I cannot be in quiet, and yet you do well satisfye me w" the discrete jurie you saie are chosen alreadie; vnto whome I praie you sale from me that I require them, as ever I shal think good of them, that they will, accordinge to there duties, earnestlie, carefuUie, and trewlie, deale in this matter, to fynde it as they shall se it fall out. And if it fall out a chaunce or mysfortune, then so to fynde ; and if it appeare villainye, (as God forbid so mysohievous or wicked bodie shuld lyve !) then to fynde it so, and God willing, I shall never feare the dale of prosecution accord, inglie, what person soever it maie appeare any waie to touohe ; as well as for the lust punyshment of the act, as for myne owne trcwe iustiflcation ; for as I wold be sorie in my heart any such eviU should be comytted, so full it will appeare to the worlde my innocensie, by my dealing in the matter, if it shall so fall out.

Sire — Madame la Duchesse d'York est prSte d'accoucher ; la Beine M^re Be porte fort bien ; le reste va toujours & son ordinaire, quoiqu'il y ait eu depuis pen, grande querelle entreles Dames, jusques 13, que le Roy menaya la Dame oil il soupe tous les soirs, de ne mettre jamais le pied chez elle si la demoiselle ' n'y ^toit. Cela fait qu'elle ne la quitte plus, ce que tout le monde trouve fort strange, et moi je suis de contraire avis, car il me semble qu'elle ne sera jamais plus sftre de sa conquete qu'en tenant sa rivale par la main, si ce n'est aux heuree de son triomphe. Le Roi a fait le jeune Bar- clay Milord : on I'a tenu quelque temps cach^, de peur d'irriter la Chambre Basse qui en a t^moign^ hautement son d^plaisir. L'afTaire du Comte de St. Alban's s'est ^vanouie : il n'en est pas de mSme de celle de Bristol — il a 6t& trois fois refuse chez Madame de Castlemaine, oil il ne manquoit jamais d'aller souper avec le Roi.

Londres, Ootobre 26-NoTembre 5, 1663. Sire — Monsieur de Catteu arriva le vendredi au soir ; je ne perdis point de temps pour le conduire S. Withall, oil je soavois d^j4 que I'on s'empatien- toit pour I'arriv^e de quelque envoy^. Le Boi le rejut avec beaucoup de satisfaction, et voulut qu'il vit la Reine, mais comma elle reposoit, et qu'il ^toit d€j^ fort tard, la visite fut remise au lendemain. Je ne manquai pas de me rendre ^ I'heure ordonnSe, et le Boi nous introduisit dans la ruelle' de son lit, et prit la peine de faire les complimens de V. M. et des Reines, avec assez de peine, parceque sa maladie I'a rendue tellement sourde qu'elle n'entend qu'a force de crier ^ ses oreilles, encore faut il s'en approcher de fort prfez.' Elle t^moigna beaucoup de satisfaction, et repondit en peu de mots, mais fort intelligibles. Depuis ce temps elle s'est beaucoup mieux port^e, et il me semble que le soin que V. M. a pris de I'envoier visiter, ait plus contribn4 a sa gu^rison, que tons les m^decins. lis nous font espfirer qu'elle est hors de danger, n^antmoins elle reve encore assez souvent, ce qui marque que son cerveau est fort attaqu^, puisque la fifevre n'est pas assez ardente pour produire cet effet. II faut avoir €t^ t^moin de ce que j'ai vu pour le oroire ; jusques au moindre courtisan se donnoit la liberty de ■ " Ruelle," espace qu'on laisse entre le lit et la mnraille. On appelait autrefois " Rnelles" les Alcoves, et en gfingral lea lieux parfis, oil les Dames, soit au lit, aoit debout, recevaient leura visitea. * This passage affords a curious specimen of the extent to vrhich court etiquette and ceremony had been carried by Louis XIV. Catherine of Braganza was slowly recovering from a most dangerous fever, and yet she was compelled to give an audience in her bed to the French Ambaaaador; and her deafness rendered it necessary that the iiing should bawl into her majesty's ear, before she could un- derstand the compliments which de Comminges had been ordered personally to deliver. His assurance in attributing the improvement that had taken place in the queen's health to the interest which Louis had evinced in her welfare, rather than to the skill of her medical attendants, is also tery characteristic.

Au Roi. Londres, Novembre 9, 1663. Sire — Le Mattre des c^r^monies prit le soin de venir me prendre k huit heures, afin de me faire voir le commencement de la c^r^monie,' qui se fait sur I'eau ; de-lib il me oonduisit dans la grande rue, oil il m'avoit fait pre- parer une chambre, afin que plus commodement je visse la cavalcade, qui ne fut pas sitot pass^, que je monte en carosse pour prendre les devants par les rues destourn^es. J'arrivois une demi heure devanl le Maire. Je fus re9U & la Maison de Ville avec tout I'accueil imaginable ; Ton m'ouvrit la porte pour faire entrer mes caresses. Je fus salu^ de la picque et du drappeau par les officiers qui se tronvferent ^ ma descente. Incontinent je fus re5u par d'autres bourgeois, qui me remirent sous la conduite d'autres, et ainsy de lieu en lieu Ton me conduisit jusques la salle du festin, oti se trouvent M. le Chancelier et le Conseil du Roy, qui ^toit d^ja i, table. Je fus surpris de cette grossifere incivility : n^antmoins, pour ^viter de faire une affaire, je pris le parti de donner lieu & ces messieurs de r^parer cette faute, sy elle s'^toit faite par ignorance, ou par mesgarde, ou d'^luder leur malice par un proc^d^ franc et hardi. Je marchai droit ^ eux, a, dessein de leur faire une raillerie de leur bon appetit; mais je les trouve sy froids et sy interdis, que je juge £l propos de me retirer; le Chancelier et tons ses assistans ne s'estant pas leves pour me recevoir, £1 la reserve de Benet, qui me dit quelque chose ^ quoi je respondis avec mespris. Je retire, le Maitre des c^r^monies parloit au Chancelier, et I'on me vit partir sans que personne se mit en peine, ny de me faire excuses, ny civilitSs. Je dis de ceux du Conseil ; car pour les offioiers de la Ville, et les principanx bourgeois qui attendoient le Maire pour diner, je ne vis jamais plus de tristesse ; chacun m'offrant des partis que je ne pouvois prendre aveo biens^ance. Ainsy je sortis, tout le peuple murmurant du peu de satisfac- tion que j'avois re9u dans un lieu oil j'avois &\A convi^ avec toute la solem- nity possible. Je retoume diner chez moy, oil deux heures aprfes je fus visits par les deux memes provosts qui m'avoient convi^s, accompagn^s de quelques bourgeois, et du peuple, qui demeura & ma porte. L'ordre qu'ils avoient du Maire et du Corps de Ville ^toit de me faire des excuses de ce qui s'^toit pass£, et ce que ne peuvent par lenrs parolles, leur affection, et le temoignagc de lenr doulenr suppMa au reste.

Je leur dis que cette raison £toit aussy mauvaise que les autres, pnisque sa fonction ne s'4tendoit point dans leurs festes, et qu'il ^toit venu avec moi oomme un particulier convi^, pour la commodity de passer et d'entrer aveo moins de peine. Pour conclusion: ils me prient de vouloir me satisfaire de lenrs excuses. Je leur respondis que I'affaire avoit eu trop de t^moins pour pouvoir se caoher, et que mon devoir m'obligeoit de rendre compte 5, V. M. ; leur insinuant que ce n'^toit pas d'eux seulement que j'avois & me plaindre, et qu'ils avoient des complices de leur mauvaise oonduite, ou de leur faute. Aprfes cela, je les conduisis hors de ma salle, oil je les arrSte un pea ; et pour leur faire plus de honte, je leur dis que je voulois passer plus avant, et payer un assez mauvais traitement par une civility extraordinaire. Au Red. Novembre 12-22, 1883. Sire^Le lendemain 3, onze heures. Ton m'advertit que le Maire 6toH parti de chez luy pour me rendre visite. II arriva un moment aprfes, suivi de dix on douze caresses, et d'nn assez grand troupe de peuple, qui suivoit ce cortege par curiosity. II entra chez moi, aveo les marques de sa dignity, c'est-a,-dire, I'^p^e et les masses, port^es par des officiers de la Ville, la queue de sa robe par un autre, les Provosts, les Aldermen, et plnsieura honorables bourgeois. II arr6ta quelques momens dans ma salle basse: peut-6tr6 en intention que je I'y allasse recevoir ; mais un de mes secretaires lui aiant dit qu'il y avoit du feu dans la salle haute, et que je n'^tois pas achev^ d'habiller, aiant emploi^ toute la matinee k faire mes d^pSches, il monta en haut, et sit6t je I'allois prendre pour le conduire dans ma chambre d'audienoe : je ne voulus point I'entendre, qu'il ne fut assis. D'abord il me t^moigna qu'il etoit bien fach^ de ne pouvoir s'expliquer en Franjois, mais qu'il avoit amenS avec lui un interprfete, qui m'expliqueroit le discours qu'il avoit S, me faire, qui consistoit en deux points : le premier de les excuser et pardonner la faute qu'ils avoient faits, et I'autre de vouloir leur donner un jour pour la r^parer ; que de ma rfiponse d^pendoit la satisfaction ou honte eternelle de la Ville de Londres, et qu'en leur particulier leur disgrace etoit assure, tant du cote dn peuple que de oeluy du Eoi, qui ne leur pardon- nerait jamais si je leur en donnois exemple. Je conduisis le Maire jusques d. son carosse, luy donnant tousjours, la porte, mais conservant touBJouTB la main droite. Le tout se passa avec satisfaction de tons cot^z. 848 APPENDIX. An Roi. Iiondres, Decembre 10-20, 1603. Sire — Le Chevalier de Grammont a &t6 ravi de la nouvelle que je lui ai donn£, et il m'a dit plus de 1000 fois qu'll aimoit mieux servir V. M. pour rien, que tous les Kois du monde pour leurs tr^sors. II va se prepare ^ prendre cong6 de Celui de la Grande Bretagne, auquel, sans doute, il a des grandes obligations pour la manifere obligeante dont il ^t6 reju et traits. Dans I'exofes de sa joie il n'a pas pu me cachei' sa surprise, ce qui me per- suade que I'affaire est faite, et qu'il fera un grand sacrifice i, V. M. d'aban- donner ses nouveaux et legitimes amours ; car je crois qu'il se consolera WentSt, et que peut-6tre fera t'il voir la Cour de France 3, une belle Angloise,' qui pour le bien n'y trouvera point de difference i. celle d'Angleterre. II fait son compte de partir dans 4 jours. Decembre 20-24. lie Chevalier de Grammont devoit partir aujordhui, mais le Koi I'a retenu pour un jour, peut-6tre pour lui faire quelque present, ou pour faciliter le paiement de 800 pifeces qui lui sont dues par Madame de Castlemaine. II laisae ioi quelques autres debtes, qu'il pretend venir recueillir quand il se d^clarera sur le sujet de Mile. Hamilton, qui est si embrouill^ que les plus elair voyans n'y voyent gontte. II va faire sa confession g^n^rale k V. M. Au Roi. Janvier 26— F«vrier 4, 1663-6. Dimanche dernier le Comte de Bristol se pr^senta dans la paroisse d'Oulmilton' h, 2 lieux de Londres, avcc un notaire et des t^moins, et prit acte devant tout le peuple qu'il ^toit Protestant, et que de bon coeur il reconfoit S, la religion Catholique. Apr^s il prit le ministre et quelques uns des plus honnetes gens, et les mena diner chez lui, car cette maison lui appartient, I'aiant achet^ de la Keine Mfere. Le diner fini, il monta ^ cheval avec 4 cavaliers, et se retira. L'action est insolente et t^m^raire, et fait juger qu'il se prfisentera sitSt que le Parlement s'ouvrira. Chacun blame cette conduite, mais personne ne se met en peine de la punir. Ce navire d'Irlande,' qui avoit fait tant de bruit, et qui devoit il I'avenir servir de modfele pour la fabrique des vaisseaux, est enfin aprfes 3 mois de navigation arriv^ i, Woolwich prfes de Greenwich. C'est bien la plus ridicule et inutile machine que I'esprit de I'homme pent concevoir ; le m^decin qui I'a invents retourne i, son premier metier, et laisse la fabrique aux charpentiers. ^ Miss Hamiltbn, ' Major-Gcneral Lambert was Lord of the Manor of Wimbledon in 1656; but at the return of Charles IL it was restored to the Queen-Mother, Henrietta Maria, of whom it was purchased, in 1661, by the Earl of Bedford and others as trustee! for George Digby, Earl of Bristol, and his heirs. — Lysons's Environ: See also, Ragge's Diurnal, iSth.^ 1660.

Les dames y parolBsent k I'envie les unes des autres, mais oela ne produit point de jalousie. Je ne vis jamais deux rivales vivre en si bonne intelligence ; ce n'est pas que I'on les manage beaucoup, et que Ton prenne grand soin de oacher ces larcins, mais c'est I'humeur iu pais, qui n'a de sensible jalousie que centre la France. M. de Montagu, premier ficuyer de la Reine d'Angleterre, gentilhomme aussi bien fait et aussi spirituel qu'il y en ait dans cette Cour, a eu ordre de se retirer en province. L'on parle en secret de sa disgrace, mais Ton oonvient que ce noaveau Tantale n'a pu manager ses regards, et qu'il les a pousaez si haut qu'ils se sont allumez dans la source de la lumi^re. Le Chevalier de Gram- mont rend les derniers abois ; il a perdu en deux foix dix buit cent pieces, ce n'4toit pas v^ritablement de I'argent comptant ; mais Madame sa femme eut pu les retirer par parcelles, et s'en servir dnrant son absence pour les affaires domestiques. Je ne soais si cela ne retardera point son voyage, puisqu'un joueur ne se retire guferes sur sa perte. Les malicieux pensent autrement, et disent qu'il a autant de peine k quitter sa femme qu'il en a eu S, I'epouser, S. cause d'un beau cousin, fils du Due d'Ormond, qui sous le pr^texte de la parents lui rend des visites fort assidues, qui n'ont pas suivi le mariage, mais qui I'avoient pi6a6d6.

Nous vlmes dans ce lieu \k, tons les vieux g^nSraux et capitaines de Cromwel, qui sont fort affectionez et pleins de confianee, & cause de leur derniferes victoires centres les HoUandois. Le Roi me dit devant eux qu'ils avoient tons eu la peste, mais qu'ils £toient parfaitement gu^ris, et moins susceptibles de maladie que les autres. Je vous avoue, Sire, qu'il n'y a rien de plus beau & voir que toute cette marine, rien de plus majestueux que ce grand nombre de vaisseaux faicts et i, faire ; cette nombreuse quan- tity de canons, de masts, de cordages, de planches, et autres machines n(icessaires a cette sorte de guerre. Le Koi nous fit dans un de ses yachts un magnifiqne repas, y but la sant^ de S. M., et commanda k la compagnie de la seconder, qui ne s'espargna pas k faire son devoir. Je fis le remer- ciment, et bus celle du Roi d'Angleterre. L'une et I'autre sant4 fut o^l^br^ de tant de coups de canon, que par son bruit il fit changer le temps. Durant cette rejouissance qui commen9oit h s'^chauffer, la mer grossit, qui ne fit gufere moins de malades que le vin : et la Reine, qui se trouvoit sur la rivifere aveo ses dames, fut bien exempte du mal, mais non pas de la crainte; tout le reste s'en ressentit, et eu donna des marques. Cette bourasque fiuie, le beau temps revient, qui en donna suffisament pour mettre le vaisseau a la mer, et en gouter le plaisir, sans incommoditS de la grele et de la pluie. La chose finie, la Reine prit les caresses prfiparez pour le Boi, qui faisant son plaisir de voir les autres malades dans la tempSte, ne se soucia guferes de nous y commettre.

Pepy^s Account of Mr. Meheux's singular memory Saturday, September 10, 1698. This day, at my table. Lord Clarendon, Captain Hatton, D' Smith, and I, each successively at his pleasure, dictated 60 independent words set down in numerical order, to M'- Meheux ; which, after a silent pause of about eight minutes, he repeated in the same order backwards and forwards. He also answered our demands, of any of them singly, by their number only, out of all order ; and this without the least failure, or so much as hesitancy, saving only that, in his first recital, he stopped at the word budget, which, in repeating the words backwards immediately afterwards, he quoted right. Nor did he stint us to any number of words, inviting us to go on beyond 60, which we thought abundantly enough. Memorandum, that he objected to the word Heautontimoroumenos, not for its length but praying that each word might be significative of something which he understood. Cap- tain Hatton, who had seen the like experiment in France, asking him whether his making another trial presently upon a fresh set of words would not entirely efface the memory of the first, which was the case with him in France, he said it would not, if he proposed to himself the remembering of the former ; and he was now ready to have given us a proof of it, had we insisted on it.

The following contradiction to this statement appeared in The Domeatie Intelligencer, and News from Tovm and Country, 15th and 26th September, 1679 : — " These are to give notice, that all and every part of the relation published in The Domestic Intelligencer the 9th of this instant, September, is, as to the matter, and every particular circumstance therein mentioned, altogether false and scandalous, there having no such passage happened, nor any thing that might give occasion to that report."
