We offered him our little presents fine thread-lace of our own making for his ruffles, and the like; for one must make a figure in Paris, and he is slim and well-formed.

Smith, and a Selection of his Private Correspondence, edited by Lord Braybrooke." Pepys died on May 26, 1703. I. "God Bless King Charles" January 1, 1659-60.
"The only legal recognition of the law was in the series of acts beginning January 4, 1703, to control the wandering of African slaves and servants, and another beginning in April, 1708, in which the slave-trade was indirectly legalized by being taxed."
