THE HONOURABLE OLIVER GEORGE PAULETT MONTAGU.

BORN three-and-thirty years ago to the calling of a younger son, Oliver was early made aware of the advisability of relying very considerably upon himself for his success in life. Gay, dashing, and generous, and blessed with a fond and liberal father, he adopted the character of a good son, and was passed through the 9th Lancers into the Blues, where he has become popular with his comrades from the retiring modesty of his nature and the eagerness he always displays to defer to others. Handsome and facile, with a gentle rippling flow of social information, and a pretty musical talent, his career in the army has been marked by his successes in the highest Society, and there is at this time no young man extant more fitted than he to point a battue or adorn a ball. Withal he is full of courage, and if ever he is tried, may prove a good soldier.
