These Thoughts are apt to draw me beyond the usual Length of this Paper, but if I could suppose such Rhapsodies cou'd outlive the common Fate of ordinary things, I would say these Sketches and Faint Images of Glory were drawn in August, 1711, when John Duke of Marlborough made that memorable March wherein he took the French Lines without Bloodshed. No. 140. Friday, August 10, 1711. Steele.
The work of capturing the fortresses in French Flanders and the province of Artois was proceeded with, and in 1711 Marlborough took Bouchain, in France. But the Duke had apparently lost heart to some extent, and there was no very vigorous action. At home the war had become hateful to a very large proportion of the people; its cost in men and money frightened them.
In the year 1711, the same yearly meeting resumed the important subject, and confirmed and renewed the advice, which had been before given.
At the commencement of the following year, 1711, that is to say, a few days after the middle of March, a cruel misfortune happened to the Marechal de Boufflers.
said in his 'Reflections on Aristotle's Treatise of Poetry, translated by Rymer in 1694, Norris had at one time, by his acting of Dicky in Farquhar's 'Trip to the Jubilee, acquired the name of Jubilee Dicky. It was his first play, 'The Comical Revenge, or Love in a Tub', produced in 1664, which introduced him to the society of Rochester, Buckingham, &c. No. 45. Saturday, April 21, 1711. Addison.
Peter's where, for two Hours together, he was busied in putting on or off his different Accoutrements, according to the different Parts he was to act in them. Idolatry may be looked upon as another Error arising from mistaken Devotion; but because Reflections on that Subject would be of no use to an English Reader, I shall not enlarge upon it. No. 202. Monday, October 22, 1711. Steele.
No. 147. Saturday, August 18, 1711. Steele. 'Pronuntiatio est Vocis et Vultus et Gestus moderatio cum venustate. Tull. Mr. The well Reading of the Common Prayer is of so great Importance, and so much neglected, that I take the Liberty to offer to your Consideration some Particulars on that Subject: And what more worthy your Observation than this? A thing so Publick, and of so high Consequence.
The charming Countess de la Roche succeeded the Marquis de la Frezelière as his friend and patroness, after the death of the Marquis in 1711, an event which, according to Lord Lovat's statement, brought him nearly to the grave from grief. The Countess was a woman of a masculine understanding, and of admirable talents, bold, insinuating, and ambitious.
The fashion for hoops was revived in 1711, in which year was published in England "A Panegyrick upon the Late, but most Admirable Invention of the Hoop-Pettycoat." In 1728 we find hoop-skirts and negro girls and other "chattels" advertised for sale in the same shop!
But the Redman is silent and crafty, and neither by sign nor word did he betray it to the Palefaces. Suspecting nothing, with perfect faith in their friendship, the white people allowed the Indians to come and go freely in their settlements. Then one night in 1711 a great many appeared, asking for food.
