as Sn! at that time Ld O-II was too much engaged with wooden engines, to temper with Iron or Steel. Of Robert Doffie, Esq; A Man of univerfal knowledge; we may venture to pronounce him, one of the best chemists in Europe; if we are not mifinformed (and we hope we are not) the K-g has lately fhewn him fome mark of his R-1 favor, his merit, and his fuccefs, has opened the mouths, and employed the pens of many blockheads to talk, and write against him; but while the elabatory laid open; the hand maid to the arts, and memoirs of agriculture continued to be read; the author of thofe works must be admired; and he allowed to be an able, and a judicious man: the many enemies his abilities and fagacity raised him, among the members of the fociety for the encouragement of Arts; fufficiently juftified his correfponding anonymously with them, or as it has been faid, with himfelf; about the train oil, during the time he was chairman of that chemical Committee. G 3 Of Of L-y -n. HER L-p has commanded a G-rr—n for fome years, as defpoticly as he has a man, who before fhe took him, and that Command, was himself all defpotism. Of L-y R-h—d. HER Lad-p having no child of her own, has taken upon herself, the education of a young Lady nearly related to her noble Lord, and perhaps, no woman in the Kingdom is better qualified to do it: we likewife believe, that fome grown people have been much oblig ed to her L-p's head, and hand too, during her refidence in foreign Courts; for the figure and station, they now bear in this.-We do not mean that contemptible wretch, the Apothecary's fon of S-k-lle Street, Mr. S-y H-n. Of Of L-d C-th-t. HILE his L-p is figuring, as an E-r WH at a northern Court; his brother is exhibiting a board at his door in L-r S-e, to inform paffengers, where they may be accommodated, with ready furnish'd lodgings! FROM a real, or a pretended zeal, for Religion, this Lady has done inconceivable mischief, which Bedlam; every private Madhouse, and most B-w-y Houses will testify! we cannot however help believing, fhe means well, but fhe would do more good, by using her endeavours, to difunite, what they call, Holy Band. the Anecdote of a certain Lady of Quality. HER L-p being at cards, a foreign Minifter, one of her party, obferving her to fearch her pockets with a look of diftrefs, and hurry; asked her the occafion? she replied fhe had left, or loft her Snuff-box. The Minifter, who had a very valuable box standing on the table, between him and her, very politely defired her Ladyship to use his, 'till she returned home, or had found her own. When immediately, putting it in her pocket, she took out a trifling Toy, and observed that the box was too valuable a present to accept, without making fome return; and this the Minifter, was, either too polite, or too much furprised, to refuse!

Has he now a long Ribband to his Guittar, we wonder! he has made L-y V-e, a prefent of his portrait in minature. Of A Of L-d H-f-d. N excellent economist; and is making a laudable provifion for a numerous family. He preferves a perfect uniformity of charac&ter; and is not like Cataline; who is faid to have been at the fame time, alieni appetens fui profufus: The fui profufus is a vice he was ever an utter ftranger to, and there is all the reason in the world to hope, that his heir apparent, will closely imitate fo glorious an example. His piety and devotion are truly exemplary! He keeps a Chaplain; and has prayers twice a day in his family; fuch virtue and piety could not fail recommending him. to the favor of a religious Pr-e; and in stipends and places, befides the trifle of a Treasury Borough, he has always had the honor of fharing pretty largely in the royal Bounty.
