ROBERT, EARL OF LINDSEY [AFTERWARDS DUKE OF ANCASTER].

Macky.  A fine gentleman, has both wit and learning.—­Swift.  I never observed a grain of either.

MONTAGU, EARL OF ABINGDON.

Macky.  A gentleman of fine parts, makes a good figure in the counties of Oxford and Buckinghamshire:... is very high for the monarchy and Church.—­Swift.  Very covetous.

PHILIP, EARL OF CHESTERFIELD.

Macky.  He is very subtle and cunning, never entered into the measures of King William, nor ever will, in all probability, make any great appearance in any other reign.—­Swift.  If it be old Chesterfield, I have heard he was the greatest knave in England.

CHARLES, EARL OF BERKELEY.

Macky.  A gentleman of learning, parts, and a lover of the constitution of his country; a short fat man.—­Swift.  Intolerably lazy and indolent, and somewhat covetous.

LOUIS, EARL OF FEVERSHAM.

Macky.  A third son of the family of Duras in France; he came over with one of the Duke of York’s family;... is a middle-statured brown man, turned of 50 years old.—­Swift.  He was a very dull old fellow.

HENRY, EARL OF GRANTHAM.

Macky.  He is a very pretty gentleman, fair complexioned, and past 30 years old.—­Swift.  And good for nothing.

JOHN, LORD DE LA WARR.

Macky.  A free jolly gentleman, turned of 40 years old.—­Swift.  Of very little sense; but formal, and well stocked with the low kind of lowest politics.

ROBERT, LORD LEXINTON.

Macky.  He is of a good understanding, and very capable to be in the ministry; a well-bred gentleman, and an agreeable companion.—­Swift.  A very moderate degree of understanding.

RALPH, LORD GREY OF WERKE.

Macky.  A sweet disposed gentleman; he joined King William at the Revolution, and is a zealous assertor of the liberties of the people.—­Swift.  Had very little in him.

JAMES, LORD CHANDOS.

Macky.  Was warm against King William’s reign, and doth not make any great figure in this; but, his son, Mr. Brydges[3] does, being a member of the House of Commons, one of the counsellors to the prince, and a very worthy gentleman.—­Swift.  But a great compiler with every court.

[Footnote 3:  Afterwards Duke of Chandos.]

FRANCIS, LORD GUILFORD.

Macky.  Is son to the lord-keeper North, hath been abroad, does not want sense nor application to business, and his genius leads him that way.—­Swift.  A mighty silly fellow.

EDWARD, LORD GRIFFIN.

Macky.  Having-followed King James’s fortunes, is now in France.  He was always a great sportsman, and brave; a good companion, turned of 60 years old.—­Swift.  His son was a plain drunken fellow.
