Excerpt from Memoirs of the Verney Family, Vol. 4: From the Restoration to the Revolution 1660 to 1696; Compiled From the Letters and Illustrated by the Portraits at Claydon House
This concluding volume of the Verney Memoirs' carries the reader from the Restoration to the reign of William and Mary, and the year 1696, when Sir Ralph Verney is gathered to his fathers.
The letters are so numerous during these thirty six years, that many topics of interest they contain have been left untouched; all that could be aimed at was (as a modern philosopher puts it) to present these interminable mile-post piles of matter, in essence, in chosen samples, digestibly.'
