It is stated by Lediard, that William with his dying breath recommended Marlborough to the notice of his successor, as the fittest person in her dominions ** to head her armies and direct her counsels.'* How fiu> this account is to be received as accurate, we take it not upon us to say ; but it is certain that Marlborough was almost immedi- ately invested with the order of the bath, and pro- moted to the rank of captain-general of her majesty's forces. The office of ranger of Wind- sor Park was... at the same time bestowed upon the countess ; his two daughters were advanced to the dignity oC ladies of the bedchamber ; and a pension dfUiOOL a year, granted by the late hing, was, without solicitation, continued to Xjord Sun- derland. A ministry, likewise, was formed, which, includmg almost every personal friend of Marlborough, could not but conaider itself bound to support him in all his undertakings ; while, to sum up all, he was deputed to Holland as ambas- sador extraordinary, for the purpose of aasuring the allied powers that to the treaties entered into by the deceased monarch his soocessor would rigidly adhere.
