Sir Charles Sedie1 Lord Mul
grave in his Essay on Satire, 1852
represents Sir Charles SedIry ~ vol
uptuary; but he is acknowledged,
both nv tina, writer and other Of his
contemporaries, 10 have been extreme
" witty, aud particularly happy in his
simiIies. Hecondescended, how ever,
sometimes to become practical joker,
as appeares from some anecdotes con
corning him recorded by Oldys, in
his manuscript notes on Langhrame.
Sedley, though somewhat inclined
to corpulency, was handsome man,
and very like Kyuaston, the Actor,
who was SO proud ofthe resemblance,
that he got suit OF lacid cloths after
one that Sir Charles had worn, and
appeared in ii in public. In order 10
punish his vanity, Scdley hired a
bravo; who accosling KynastoD in
ST.. james, Park in his fine suit, pre-
tended to mistake him iorthe Baronet;
and having picked quarrel with hun,
urder pre!ence of having received a
rude message from him, he caned the
actor soundly In vain kyDaston
protested he was not the person the
bravo took him for; the more he pro
tested, thu more blows the other laid
on, to punish him for endeavouripg
tofscape chastisrment by so smPudent
falSehood When some ofthe poor
Actors friends afterwards remonstra
ted with Srdley on this harsh treat
menr of an inotfensive man, he replied
that their pity was very much mispia
ced, and ought rather TO he bestowed
on him, since KynastoD (Sedley) had
suffered in his reputation, all the tow u
believing that il was he who was thus
publicly Sgraced.
In those days, when gentleman
drank lady's health as toast, Ivy way
of doing her still more honour, he fire
quentIy threw some part OF his dress
| no the flames; in which proof OF his
veneraiion his companions were obi
| ed to follow him, by consuming the
same article, whatever it might be.
