p. 73.4. The following is the genealogy of Buckingham from Edward III. Thomas Duke of Gloucester.

Humphrey died vita patris. v * Harry, beheaded 1485, father of Edward. 17. —This antipathy, the narrow jealousy of aristocratic ar- rogance, was probably exasperated by the contempt with which it was retaliated. Sect. xi. page 74. The origin of Buckingham's hatred of Wolsey has been ascrib...ed to various occurrences ; but I think it more likely to have arisen from that indescribable antipathy which may have been produced by the character of the Cardinal operat- ing on the pride and rash temperament of the duke. The incidents which are said to have caused their quarrel, I re- gard only as occurrences whieh served to publish the animo- sity of Buckingham.
