George Dawson Darner of Came. I OAMB into the world with the American War, and the first political impression I received was from being taken in my father's coach to some hills above Lulworth — about six or seven miles from Moreton, to see Sir Charles Hardy's fleet retreating up the Channel.
The French fleet, having eflfected a junction with the annament of Spain, insulted the English channel, showed themselves hefore Plymouth, and captured the Ardent of 64 guns, whose commander mistook the united fleet for that of the British Admiral. Sir Charles Hardy, with about thirty-eight sail-of-the-line, was still inferior to the united squadrons of the enemy. Happily, however, jealousy between the commanders of the combined fleet and sickness amongst the crews obliged them to retire into Brest in the month of September with the loss of nearly 10, men.
The Journal of Mary Frampton. The last time that we were there en famille, we had a house in Hill Street, very fancifully fitted up, which makes me mention it. The house belonged to the learned Mrs. Her fortune was very large, and she made a very benevolent use of it. She built and fitted up magnificently a very large house at the comer of Portman Square.
Montagu was a very old woman when I knew her, and I quite a girl. My sister, Phillis WoUaston, now between sixteen and seventeen, was beginning to be produced a little in the world.

Montagu died at her house in Portman Square, in , aged eighty. I think I remember hearing that twenty-four large pins were by no means an unusual number to go to bed with on your head. The perfection of figure according to the then fashion was the smallness of the circumference into which your unfor- tunate waist could be compressed, and many a poor girl hurt her health very materially by trying to rival the reigning beauty of that day, the Duchess of Rutland,' who was said to squeeze herself to the size of an orange and a half.
Small hoops were worn in a morning and larger for a dress, some going outwards as they went downwards, something in the form of a bell. Sacques were very common ; my mother constantly wore them. They were dresses with loose backs and a stomacher. Oauze handkerchiefs trimmed with blonde were worn on the neck. On account of my sister's initiation into the dissipations of London society, it was deemed absolutely necessary that she should give a great deal of money — I forget the precise sum — for a ticket which was to intro- duce her to one of the finest f6tes in the French style, given under the direction of M.
B 2 4 The Journal of Mary Frampton. At the hour appointed, between ten and eleven, away went my sister to enjoy this grand spectacle at the Opera House ; there aU the fine world were assembling. Eleven o'clock came, no M. Twelve o'clock struck ; all London was at the Opera House, but nothing to amuse them. At length a man came forward with the pretty excuse that he was very sorry to be forced to say that M.
His reading was certainly inimitable, by changing his voice, he gave the effect of acting to three or four different characters, and did it with a French vivacity and boldness which increased the effect. Operas were at that time coming into fashion, and it began to be the ton to have a box, though ladies who had boxes went into the pit to see the dancing, and then returned to their box.
Subsequently tried for high treason, but was acquitted. He died The language of both town and country at this time was very desponding; Lord North's ad- ministration universally unpopular, and the Funds said to be so low that I was told I should never have any fortune, for that they would certainly break. Thank God, the danger from that was soon weathered, and I have good hope, if my life is spated, to smile when looking back upon the present certainly much more alarming times.
We used to go out of the room for a short time after dinner, and return to it again to tea.
In Coryate's " Travels in Italy," published , he says: "The Italians always at their meals use a little forke when they cut their meat. They are for the most part made of yron, Steele, and some of silver, bat these are used only by gentlemen. About the period of the Revolution few noblemen had more than a dozen forks of silver, together with a few of iron or steel.
The general introduction of silver forks into Q-reat Britain can only be dated from the opening of the Continent to English travellers at the termination of the French Way []. Carpets in bedrooms were also unknown until long after this period — at least covering the whole floor. Narrow strips of carpetting, woven on purpose, were laid down at the sides of the bed, and this continued until certainly about , even in well-furnished gentlemen's houses. When the Boyal Family were at Weymouth at the beginning of the The Journal of Mary Frampton, foot-stools, were luxuries unknown, or, if the former were just known, it was only amongst people of very high rank, or who had lived much on the Continent.
In the following year my sister married Mr. His father, a son of Eari Ferrers, lived at Ettington in Warwickshire, in a house that had been partly built and had been in their family before the Conquest, but the principal estate was in Ireland. She was not quite eighteen, Mr. Shirley twenty-five when they married. Polonaises were at that time the fashion ; they consisted of a gown and petticoat of the same, frequently of coloured linen with borders of linen in patterns, with long sleeves, the train of the gown drawn up in a festoon behind, and fastened at the bottom of the waist by a loop to a button.
My sister was married in a white lutestring. My mother was in a very dark blue or purple silk, called at that time from old Vestris, the famous opera dancer, an old Vestris blue, trimmed with spotted muslin. One of the Princesses herself told this to my mother, when complaining how very uncomfortable they were when staying at Weymouth.

It was the old-fashioned custom to keep the new- married pair to dinner, and not dismiss them till evening, and the house where Mr, Shirley then resided was only two and a half miles' distance. The wedding was attended only by the people in the house: the dinner was very handsome, but the day seemed long to all parties, notwithstanding an expedition to Lulworth Castle in the morning, to which, for fear of spoiling my dress, I was not permitted to belong — Point de rose sans Spines. I was at this time very ibdifferent to the politics of the day. In spite of the brilUant successes under their commander, he was very unpopular in the navy ; from Admiral Houlton I have heard various instances of Lord Eodney's hauteur to inferior officers, which, perhaps, accounted for it.
He would occasionally shut himself up in his cabin, forbid all access to him; and if on particular business any one requested to be admitted, " Tell him," Lord E. He died, unmarried, The ship, in which was Lord Dorchester, was warmly engaged with the enemy ; the captain was killed, Lord Dorchester was sent to fetch up the first lieutenant to take the command, who came on deck, and in a few minutes was no more, the same fate befell the second lieutenant.
The command then devolved upon an abso- lute youth, to whom — when Lord Dorchester announced the fate of the second lieutenant, and that consequently he must go on deck, and immediately take upon him the command — the intelligence seemed like a clap of thunder, and he, almost trembling, said, " To me, sir, it is im- possible that I can command," Lord Dorchester trembled for him, but in a few minutes perceived that it was diffidence and not fear that made him turn pale, and refuse the office. The instant the young man was persuaded that it was his duty, he flew on deck, gave his orders with the greatest judgment, prudence, and intrepidity, and suc- ceeded in capturing the enemy's ship.
On the death of his father, , Lord Milton as he had then become succeeded to the earldom, his eldest brother whose wife, the daughter of the Right Honourable Seymour Conway, is so well known from her talents as a sculptor having un- happily destroyed himself in Lord Dorchester was colonel of the Dorset Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, He died unmarried, , when the title became extinct.
Could such a commander be popular? The arrest might be right, according to Spartan or Roman discipUne, but surely English gratitude might have dispensed with it. I wish I could recollect the name of the young man. We still at least are little Britain, Thank God we are not petty France. Little Britain comes out of Alders- gate Street by St.
Botolph's Church. Milton lodged for some time at the house of Millington, the famous auctioneer, who sold old books in Little Britain, and who used to lead him by the hand when he went abroad.

James's Park. He died at Bath, whither my mother and I had accom- panied him. On my father's illness increasing my brother was sent for from Winchester School, Charlton Wollaston was at Cambridge at the time. When one object makes a deep impression on the mind it imprints every trifling occurrence equally deep ; the rooms we were in, the books we read, are all as familiar to me as if it were yesterday. It was her second publication. Mundy, She married afterwards a person of property at Hamburg, and became a dissolute character.
The winter of was a very severe one. My brother, on his return to school, was obliged, from the quantity of snow, to take a route several miles round. We, I mean my mother and myself, removed early to London. We passed one night at Winchester en route, and thus the journey was easily performed in two days. Our house was in Clarges Street, directly opposite one inhabited by Colonel, now General Lake, who has since covered himself with laurels by his consummate bravery and skilful conduct in the Indian war against Scin- diah and the Rajah of Berar.
He was then a young man, married to a pretty though painted lady, and had at that time several children.

II annon9a k M. I fear, however, that I cannot enliven this year by either politics or literature. We returned and spent the summer and autumn quietly at Moreton. The expense of living began to increase. The price of butter and other articles also increased, bread always fluctuating. At this time the connection of Mrs. Durham, bom She married, , Edward Weld, Esq.
Dorset, who died in Her second husband, Thomas Fitz Herbert, Esq. Stafford married , also died 8. The certificate of the marriage is still extant, signed by the Prince and herself. Fitz Herbert. Damer ; amongst others was the counterpart of a kind of brooch, con- taining a miniature of Greorge lY.
The diamond had been cut in half, and the other part, set in the same way, contained a miniature of Mrs. Fitz Herbert herself. Great search was made at Windsor for this valuable jewel, but without success. Bundell and Bridge, who had the setting of the two articles, were employed with others to examine, but in vain, and all hope of regaining the lost treasure was at an end. She held out long against him, and went on the Continent, and did not consent until a marriage ceremony, at least according to the Eoman Catholic religion, to which she belonged, had been performed.
She ought, however, to have been sensible that the ceremony, in the eye of the English law, was perfectly nugatory, Mrs. Pitz Herbert had known my mother well when she lived in Dorset- shire, having been first of all married, when very young, to Mr. Weld, of Lulworth Castle, a neighbour of ours. She was then very beautiful. She dined at Moreton on the day she was eighteen, perfectly unaffected and un- assuming in her manners, as I have heard from my WeUingtoQ, when one evening sitting next to Mrs.
Darner, said to her, with some hesitation, ' I dare say you may like to know something of the lost jewel;' but added, 'perhaps I had better not tell you.
The Duke was quite alone with the body, then lying in an open cofGua, and his curiosity being excited by seeing a small jewel hanging ronnd the neck of the King, he was tempted to look at it, when he found that it was the identical portrait of Mrs. Fitz Herbert, covered with the diamond for which the unsuccessful search had been made. The Duke added, " I leave it to you to communicate this or not to Mrs. Fitz Herbert, as you may think best for her. Fitz Herbert scarcely ever alluded to her former connection with George lY.
