Excerpt from Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court of Charles the Second, With Their Portraits, After Sir Peter Lely and Other Eminent Painters: Illustrating the Diaries of Pepys, Evelyn, Clarendon, and Other Contemporary WritersEdward Hyde, created soon afterwards Earl of Clarendon, was certainly a man of great ability, but he was not popular, and in the political songs of the day he is accused of unbounded avarice. Charles supported him, both in gratitude for a long series of faith ful services, and because he thought that no other person was so capable of supporting the Restoration, and of enlarging the limits of his regal power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
