BOOK SEVENTH.
From the Restoration of CHARLES II. to the REVOLUTION.
A. C. 1660. Promotions at court.
CHARLES II. was in the thirtieth year of his age when he took possession of the throne with those advantages. He had taken pains in cultivating his understanding. He understood machines and ship-building; was well acquainted with the history and politics of the most remarkable states in Europe; he possessed a natural fund of humour and vivacity, together with the most insinuating address, and the power of pleasing in conversation. He was a latitudinarian in religion, careless, indolent, and extremely addicted to pleasure. The people, partly in imitation of the king's jovial disposition, and partly from the nature of the human mind, so apt to be hurried from one extreme to another, gave a loose to intemperance, and the whole kingdom was filled with riot and excess. The first object that ingrossed the attention of Charles after his restoration, was the choice of his council, into which (though it chiefly consisted of zealous royalists) he, from political views, admitted some chiefs of the presbyterian party, such as the earl of Manchester, appointed lord chamberlain; lord Say, privy seal; Annesley created earl of Anglesey; Ashley Cooper, and Denzil Hollis preferred to the dignity of barons. The dukedom of Albermarle was conferred upon Monk; and admiral Montague was created earl of Sandwich. The king shifted the burden of affairs in a good measure from his own shoulders on those of his brother the duke of York, who excelled Charles in application, as much as he fell short

Williams & Linus Williams, both of Essex County, personally well known to me, as men of truth & fair character, who being first duly sworn according to law, depose & say as follows viz: We are the sons of Samuel Williams & Eunice Williams of Orange in said County of Essex. Our father said Samuel Williams, died in April, A.D. 1824. Our Mother, Eunice Williams, his widow, is yet living - is an Applicant for a pension, on acct. of the revolutionary services of her husband, said Samuel Williams, & her Declaration, with the testimony papers &c. is, as we believe, in possession of the Commissioner of Pensions at Washington.
The papers hereto annexed, which purport to be an old record of the names of the children of our parents, said Samuel & Eunice Williams, & is in the hand writing of our father, said Samuel Williams, & is the only record of the births of his family, which was left by him. - We verily believe that our said father copied this record from an old bible which belonged to our said Mother, thirty years or more since. Said bible was very old - the binding worn out, & the leaves were loose, & have been lost; & the record which it contained has long since been entirely gone. This record now herewith sent, was taken out from a history of England, owned by our father, by Ph: Kingsley Esq. in presence of Linus Williams, within two months past.

Dear Sir,

There is some defect in respect to proof of marriage, & also as to service of the husband. On conferring with Messrs. Day & Kingsly, I suggested to them the propriety of examining the State records at Trenton, which they request me to do. Will you do me & the widow, the favor, to send me a brief abstract of her Declaration, showing me the officers under whom his services were rendered - place - date &c. for the purpose of enabling the Secy. of State to examine the records?
