In the administration of these provinces oligarchic misrule had reached a point which, notwithstanding various noteworthy performances in this line, no second government has ever attained at least in the west, and which according to our ideas it seems no longer possible to surpass.

I had donned my grey velvet doublet deeming the occasion worthy of it whilst Andrea wore a handsome suit of black, with gold lace, which for elegance it would have been difficult to surpass.
News of this marriage spread throughout the court with rapidity, and caused the utmost excitement; which in a little while was somewhat abated by the announcement that the king's youngest brother, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, was taken ill of small-pox.
