Excerpt from Bell's British Theatre: Consisting of the Most Esteemed English Plays

We hope the example that Ireland has set, will shortly he followed by an English house of lords, and your Grace made a inemher of that body, to which yon will be so conspicuous an ornament. Your good sense, and real love for your country, taught your Grace to persevere in the principles of your glorious ancestors, by adhering to the defender of our religion and laws, and the penetrating wisdom of your royal master saw you merited yojir honours ere he conferred them. It is 07 ie of the greatest glories of a monarch to distinguish where to bestow his fa, vours, and the world must do ours justice, by owning your Graces titles most deservedly worn. It is with the greatest pleasure imaginable, the friends of liberty see you pursuing tlie steps of your noble father: your courteous affable temper, free from pride and ostsntatioTi, makes your name adored in the country, and enables your G?-ace to carry what point you please. The late Lord Wharton will be still remembered by every lover of his country, which neiferfeh a greater shock than what his death occasioned: their grief had been inconsolable, if Heaven out of its wonted beneficence to this favourite isle, had not transmitted all his shining qualities to you, and phccnix-Uke, raised up one patriot out of the ashes of another.
