Piracy is more practicable than victory.
1 The Pretender's wife complaining to the Great Duke of her husband's beastly behavior to her, that prince contrived her escape into a convent, and thence sent her to Rome, where she was protected by the Cardinal of York, her husband's brother.
LETTERS OF HORACE WALPOLE. 223 Not being an admirer of wars, I shall reserve my feux de joie for peace.
My letters, I think, are rather eras than journals.
Three days ago commenced another date, — the establishmen...t of a family for the Prince of Wales.
I do not know all the names, and fewer of the faces that compose it ; nor intend. I, who kissed the hand of George I., have no colt's tooth for the court of George IV. Nothing is so ridiculous as an antique face in a juvenile drawing-room. I be- lieve that they who have spirits enough to be absurd in their decrepitude are happy, for they certainly are not sensible of their folly; but I, who have never forgotten what I thought in my youth of such superannuated idiots, dread nothing more than misplacing myself in my old age.
