Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the reign of George 11. There lived a Wiltshire gentle man, named Paul Methuen, who had a passion for reading the weary dreary novels of his time. Queen Caroline loved to rally him on this weakness, and one day asked him what he had last been reading. May it please your Majesty, said Paul, I have been reading a poor book on a poor subject, the kings and queens of England. As far as the quality of the book is concerned, I shall, perhaps, be found to have furnished one which might be catalogued in Paul Methuen's words to Caroline. If any portions of its contents escape such characterising, it will probably be those which I have cited in the words of writers who were sometimes the Witnesses of, at others the actors in, the scenes they describe. Whatever there is of merit, it is only there to be found, and I have no part therein.

Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover, Vol. 1 The guest of Polycrates, who ran away from his host because he was for ever fortunate, was like one of those critics, of the Jeremy Collier school, who cannot witness a modest success without, to speak metaphorically, trying to slit the nose of the author. For my own part, I have little reason to complain; my task is rather to be grateful, and I take the opportunity of the appearance of a second edition of my anecdotical sketches, to give expression to such gratitude, with all the heartiness which the public patronage deserves.

Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover, Vol. 2 of 3 The queen's inﬂuence was ever stronger than the favourite's credit. Except a barony, a red riband, and a good place for her brother, Sir John Hobart, Earl of Buckinghamshire, Lady Suffolk could succeed but in very subordinate recommendations. Her own acquisitions were so moderate, that, besides Marble Hill, which cost the king ten or twelve thousand pounds, her complaisance had not been too dearly purchased. She left the court with an income so little to be envied, that though an economist, and not expensive, by the lapse of some annuities on lives not so prolonged as her own, she found herself strait ened, and, besides Marble Hill, did not at most leave twenty thousand pounds to her family.
