Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of My Own Time, Vol. 2 of 2: Part of the First, From 1772 to 1780; Part the Second, From 1781 to 1784 His features, in themselves dark, harsh, and saturnine, like those of Charles the Second, from whom he descended in the maternal line; derived nevertheless a sort of majesty, from the addition of two black and shaggy eye-brows, which sometimes concealed, but more frequently developed, the workings of his mind. Even these features, however seemingly repulsive, yet did not readily assume the expression of anger, or of enmity; whereas they frequently, and as it were naturally, relaxed into a smile, the effect of which became irresistible, because it appeared to be the Index of a benevolent and complacent disposition. His ¿gure, broad, heavy, and inclined to corpulency, appeared destitute of all elegance or grace, except what was conferred on it by the emanations of intellect, which at times diffused over his whole person, when he was speaking, the most impassioned animation. In his Dress, which had constituted an object of his attention, earlier in life, he had then become negligent, even to a degree not altogether excusable in a man, whose very errors or defects produced admirers and imitators.
