[204] One of the reasons for reckoning him severe was, his laughing at those who wrote on Phalaris’s bull.

[205] This was written before the last war in the reign of George the Second, in which, he really triumphed over both France and Spain, but it was by the Ministry of Mr. Pitt.

[207] Particularly by the Author of these Memoirs.

[208] Pitt and the Grenvilles. See the preceding year.

[209] Lord Halifax.
