The Spaniards, who tyrannise over their wives, more by custom than from jealousy, content themselves with preserving the niceness of their honour by duennas, grates, and locks. The Italians, who are wary in their suspicions, and vindictive in their resentments, pursue a different line of conduct: But, ye courteous and indulgent nations, who, far from admitting these savage and barbarous customs, give full liberty to your dear ribs, and commit the care of their virtue to their own discretion, you pass without alarms or strife your peaceful days, in all the enjoyments of domestic indolence!

Description It is biographical book. The King was exceedingly diverted at Poussatin's history; and the Queen was not much hurt at his having been put in livery: What crime against religion was he charged with, that he was confined in the inquisition? The King desired to know the particulars of the adventure; and the Chevalier gratified his curiosity, as soon as the Queen and the rest of the court were out of hearing.
The Memoirs of Count Grammont by Anthony Hamilton
It was very entertaining to hear him tell a story; but it was very disagreeable to differ with him, either in competition, or in raillery: Russell was sometimes the subject of his ridicule, but he treated him far more tenderly than he usually did a rival. This Russell was one of the most furious dancers in all England, I mean, for country dances: The Chevalier de Grammont was very sensible that he was very much in love; but though he saw very well that it only rendered him more ridiculous, yet he felt some concern at the information he received, of his intention of demanding Miss Hamilton in marriage; but his concern did not last long.
Russell, being upon the point of setting out on a journey, thought it was proper to acquaint his mistress with his intentions before his departure. The Chevalier de Grammont was a great obstacle to the interview, he was desirous of obtaining of her; but being one day sent for, to go and play at Lady Castlemaine's, Russell seized the opportunity, and addressing himself to Miss Hamilton, with less embarrassment than is usual on such occasions, he made his declaration to her in the following manner: I command the regiment of guards: I have three thousand pounds a year, and fifteen thousand in ready money: One present, I agree, is not worth much without the other, and therefore I put them together.
I am advised to go to some of the watering places for something of an asthma, which, in all probability, cannot continue much longer, as I have had it for these last twenty years: I am very much pleased that he should make his court to me, by the attention he pays to you; for he did nothing but squander his money upon that coquet Middleton, while at present he is at no expense, though he frequents the best company in England.
The Memoirs of Count Grammont
Miss Hamilton had much difficulty to suppress her laughter during this harangue: The Chevalier de Grammont, having heard the particulars of this conversation, endeavoured, as well as he could, to be entertained with it; though there were certain circumstances in the declaration, notwithstanding the absurdity of others, which did not fail to give him some uneasiness. Upon the whole, he was not sorry for Russell's departure; and, assuming an air of pleasantry, he went to relate to the king how Heaven had favoured him by delivering him from so dangerous a rival.
Middleton, I have it easily in my power to counteract him in such kind of favours, though I confess I have pretty well paid for them. He was constituted, in , lord-chamberlain to the queen, and colonel of a regiment of foot, June 13, On November 29, , he was appointed lord- warden and chief-justice of the king's forests on this side Trent, and sworn of the privy-council, January 26, On November 6, , he was made colonel of the third regiment of foot, which, with the rest of his preferments, he resigned on the accession of James IT.
He lived to the age of upwards of 80, and died, January 28, , at his house, in Bloomsbury-square.
