Macky. Grandson to King Charles II.; ... a very pretty gentleman, hath been abroad in the world; zealous for the constitution of his country. A tall black man, about 25 years old.—Swift. Almost a slobberer; without one good quality.
SIR NATHAN WRIGHT, LORD KEEPER.
Macky. Is son of a clergyman,[1] a good common lawyer, a slow chancellor, and no civilian. Chance more than choice brought him the seals.—Swift. Very covetous.
[Footnote 1: His father had the living of Thurcaston, in Leicestershire. [S.]
RALPH, DUKE OF MONTAGU.
Macky. He is a great supporter of the French, and other Protestants ... an admirer of learning.—Swift. As arrant a knave as any in his time.
WILLIAM, MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON.
Macky. One of the best beloved gentlemen, by the country party, in England.—Swift. A very poor understanding.
JOHN, LORD SOMERS.
Macky. Of a creditable family, in the city of Worcester.—Swift. Very mean; his father was a noted rogue.—Macky. He is believed to be the best chancellor that ever sat in the chair.—Swift. I allow him to have possessed all excellent qualifications except virtue. He had violent passions, and hardly subdued them by his great prudence.
