In the Autobiography of B. Haydon (I think vol. i.), he mentions that as he was passing through Somersetshire on his way from Plymouth to London, he saw General Whitelocke. A reference to the passage may interest G. L. S.
W. Denton.
The following charade was in vogue at the time of Whitelocke's death:
"My first is an emblem of purity;
My second is that of security;
My whole forms a name
Which, if yours were the same,
You would blush to hand down to posterity."
