His Court- Sir Richard Bulftrode was a Perfon accom-
plifh'd with all manner of Abilities, for the
greatest Bufinefs: He perfectly understood the
Interefts of Princes, and the Arts and Intreagues
of Courts, and often tranfacted Affairs of the
utmoft Importance; in all which he ever beha-
ved himself with the utmost Integrity and un-
fufpected Secrefy. And certainly his Conduct
muft have been very unblameable, which had
been try'd in Bufinefs of the higheft Confe-
quence, and practis'd in the hazardous Secrets
of Courts and Cabinets, and yet nothing dif
graceful was ever alledg'd against it.

His Skill He was thoroughly acquainted with the Anin Lan- cient and Modern Languages, and had been guages. very converfant in Reading the beft Authors; which he not only retain'd in his Memory, but had likewife digefted in his Judgment. With thefe Advantages he left behind him feveral Writings. Treatifes of his own Compofition: As the Lives of his Three Mafters, King Charles I. King Charles II. and King James II. and Effays on feveral Subjects; but none of them have yet been publifh'd, except the Life of King James II. lately printed at Rome. His Effays were very much commended by Judicious Perfons, to whom he had fhew'd them in his Life-time: He defign'd them for the Prefs. His Letters to the Earl of Arlington were lately printed in 8vo. for R. Sare at Grays-Inn-Gate in Holborn

1712.

He was above Eighty Years of Age, when he compos'd in Latin Verfe, One Hundred Eighty Five, as well Elegies as Epigrams, all of them on Divine Subjects; fome of which, as well as a Letter of his to his before mention'd Son, on the Subject of Retirement, for a Taste, are pre

fix'd to the Letters now mention'd to be published.

The Eftate of Bulstrode remain'd in, and con- Eftate of tinu'd to be the Seat of this ancient and worthy Bulftrode. Family, till about Forty Years ago, who then bought it, I do not know: It was afterwards purchas'd by the Lord Chancellor Jeffreys; but Mr. D'Ems, who marry'd a Daughter of the Lord Jeffreys, fold it to William, Earl of Portland, whofe Son now enjoys it.
