Macky.  He hath the exterior air of business, and application enough to make him very capable.  In his habit and manners very formal; a tall, thin, very black man, like a Spaniard or Jew, about 50 years old.—­Swift.  He fell in with the Whigs, was an endless talker.

HENRY, EARL OF ROMNEY.

Macky.  He was indeed the great wheel on which the Revolution rolled.—­Swift.  He had not a wheel to turn a mouse.

Macky.  He is a gentleman that hath lived up [Swift, down] to the employments the King gave him; of great honour and honesty, with a moderate capacity.—­Swift.  None at all.

JOHN, DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.

Macky.  He hath one only daughter, who will be the richest heiress in Europe.—­Swift.  Now Countess of Oxford; cheated by her father.

CHARLES [LENNOX], DUKE OF RICHMOND.

Macky.  He is a gentleman good-natured to a fault; very well bred, and hath many valuable things in him; is an enemy to business, very credulous, well shaped, black complexion, much like King Charles; not 30 years old.—­Swift.  A shallow coxcomb.

CHARLES, DUKE OF BOLTON.

Macky.  Does not now make any figure at court.—­Swift.  Nor anywhere else.  A great booby.

GEORGE, DUKE OF NORTHUMBERLAND.

Macky.  He is a man of honour, nice in paying his debts, and living well with his neighbours in the country; does not much care for the conversation of men of quality, or business.  Is a tall black man, like his father the King, about 40 years old.—­Swift.  He was a most worthy person, very good-natured, and had very good sense.

CHARLES [FITZROY], DUKE OF GRAFTON.

Macky.  Grandson to King Charles II.; ... a very pretty gentleman, hath been abroad in the world; zealous for the constitution of his country.  A tall black man, about 25 years old.—­Swift.  Almost a slobberer; without one good quality.

SIR NATHAN WRIGHT, LORD KEEPER.

Macky.  Is son of a clergyman,[1] a good common lawyer, a slow chancellor, and no civilian.  Chance more than choice brought him the seals.—­Swift.  Very covetous.

[Footnote 1:  His father had the living of Thurcaston, in Leicestershire. [S.]]

RALPH, DUKE OF MONTAGU.

Macky.  He is a great supporter of the French, and other Protestants ... an admirer of learning.—­Swift.  As arrant a knave as any in his time.

WILLIAM, MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON.

Macky.  One of the best beloved gentlemen, by the country party, in England.—­Swift.  A very poor understanding.

JOHN, LORD SOMERS.

Macky.  Of a creditable family, in the city of Worcester.—­Swift.  Very mean; his father was a noted rogue.—­Macky.  He is believed to be the best chancellor that ever sat in the chair.—­Swift.  I allow him to have possessed all excellent qualifications except virtue.  He had violent passions, and hardly subdued them by his great prudence.
