" Some,” says Boswell, in his Life of Johnson, “have affected to laugh at the History of the House of Very:  it would be well if many others would transmit their pedigrees to posterity, with the same accuracy and generous zeal with which the noble Lord who compiled that work has honoured and perpetuated his ancestry.  Family histories, likv, the imagines majorum of the ancients, excite to virtue.”  Vol. viii. p. 188.-E.
