[Footnote 180:  ’The wife of William, second Viscount Vane, “was the too celebrated Lady Vane; first married to Lord William Hamilton, and secondly to Lord Vane; who has given her own extraordinary and disreputable adventures to the world in Smollett’s novel of ’Perigrine Pickle,’ under the title of ‘Memoirs of a Lady of Quality.’”—­Walpole to Mann, Nov 23, 1743.  “The troops continue going to Flanders, but slowly enough.  Lady Vane has taken a trip thither after a cousin of Lord Berkeley, who is as simple about her as her own husband is, and has written to Mr. Knight at Paris to furnish her with what money she wants.  He says she is vastly to blame, for he was trying to get her a divorce from Lord Vane, and then would have married her himself.  Her adventures are worthy to be bound up with those of my good sister-in-law, the German Princess, and Moll Flanders.”—­Walpole to Mann, June 14, 1742.]
