OF THE COURT OF GEORGE 1.

" Besides the celebrated beauties who give a title to the work, the
author introduces us to their moot distinguished female contempora-
ries. Among them we find the stately old Duchess of Marlborough,
the wife of the Great Duke ; the humorous Irish Duchess of Bolton,
of whom so many good stories have been told ; the fascinating Lady
Mary Wortley Monta;u, whose name and writings must be familiar
to every reader ; and the equally charming Mrs. Howard, who re-
commends herself so strongly to us in the Suffolk Correspondence.
Then we have the Hanoverian King, his hopeful son the Prince of
Wales, and that amiable blue stocking the Princess Caroline, so fa-
mous in history as the Consort of George ll.—the celebrated Earl of
Chesterfield—the ultra-exquisite Lord John Hervey (the Lord Fanny
of Pope's satire)—the heroic madcap, the Earl of Peterborough—those
gay Lotharios, the Dukes of Wharton, Kingston, Somerset, and Buck-
iligham--Colonel, afterwards Duke of Argyle—and the King's Minis-
ters, Sir Robert Walpole, Townsend, and Stanhope—together with
Viscount Bolingbroke, and Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester, At
Court we are taken to the Levee, to the State Ball, to the King's
musiCal -parties, to his Majesty's curious interviews with his foreign
favourites, to the King's Cabinet, to the private apartments of the
Prince and Princess of Wales, and to behold various other glimpses
of Palace life at St. James's, Leicester House, and Hampton Court.
Moreover, we are present at all the assignations, elopements, abduc-
tions, duels, conferences, and confidences, in which the Maids of
Honour are concerned, and are thus enabled to enjoy as varied a dish
of gallantry, sentiment, and humour, as ever was presented to the
reader in the shape of three volumes."—New Monthly Magazine.
