Excerpt from The Tatler, Vol. 3 I came in here today at an hour when only the dead appear in places of refort and gallan try, and faw bang up the efcutrbeon of Sir han nibal a gentleman who ufed to frequent this place, and was taken up, and interred, by the company of upholders, as having been feen here at an unlicenfed hour. The coat of the deceafed is, three bowls and a jack in a green field; the crei't, a dice-box, with the king of clubs and pam for fupporters. Some days ago the body was carried out of town with great pomp and ceremony, in order to be buried with his anceltors at the Peak. It is a maxim in morality, that we are to fpeak nothing but truth of the living, nothing but good of the dead. As I have carefully Oh ferved the firft during his life-time, I fball acquit myfelf as to the latter now he is deceafed. He was knighted very young not in the ordinary form, but by 'the common confent of mankind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
