Kobert Bovle, the son of an Earl, and with all moneyed appliances to help him, was one of the early promotei-s and founders of the Royal Society I spoke of ; a noticeable man every way in that epoch of the Ethereges and the Buckinghams and the Gwynnes — devoting his fortune to worthy works ; estimable in private hf e ; dignified and serene ; tall in person and spare — wearing, like every other well-born Lon- doner, the curled, long-bottomed wig of France, and making sentences in exposition of h...is thought which were longer and stiifer than his wigs.
