Appearance Of John Hancock.

One who saw Hancock in June, 1882, re-
lates that he had the appearance of advanc-
ed age He fnd been repeatedly and severe
ly afflicted with gout, probably owing in part
to the custom of drinking punch-a common
practice in high circles in those days As re-
collected at this time, Hancock was nearly
six feet in height and of thin person, stopping
little, and apparently enfeeblcd by disease,
His manners were very gracious of the old
style, digniied compaisance His face had
been very handsome. Dress was adapted
quite as much to the ornamental as useful
Gentlemen wore wigs when abroad and COM
monty caps when at home At this time, about
noon, Hancock was dressed in red velvet can
within which was one of fine linen. The lat

velvet one, two or three inches He wore q
blue damask gown lined with silk, white sa-
tin embroidered waiStcoat, black satin small
clothes, and red morocco slippers. 1t was q
general practice in genteel families to have a
tankard of punch made in the morning and
placed in q cooler, when the season required
it. At this visit Hancock took from the cool
er, standing on the hearth, full tankard, and
drank first himself and then offered it to those
present. His equipagc was splendid, and such
as is not customary at this day His apparel
was sumptiously embroidered with gold, silver
lace, and other decorations fashionable among
men of fortune of that period and he rode,
especially upon public occasions, with six beau
tiful bay horses attended in livery He wore
a scarlet coat with ruffles on his sleeves which
soon become the prevailing fashion and it is
related of DIR. Nathan Jacques, the famous
pedestrian of West Newbury that he passed
all the way from that place to Boston in one
day, to procure cloth for a coat like that of
John Hancock, and returned with it under his
arm on foot.
