_BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES_ OF THE Portraits at Hinchingbrook: BY MARY L. BOYLE. _1876._ LONDON: PRINTED AT THE VICTORIA PRESS, PRAED STREET, W. (OFFICE FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.) TO JOHN WILLIAM, SEVENTH EARL OF SANDWICH, THESE SKETCHES ARE INSCRIBED BY HIS FAITHFUL KINSWOMAN, MARY LOUISA BOYLE. MDCCCLXXVI. In the notices of the more celebrated characters in this Catalogue, it will be understood that historical and well-known events (which will be found in the annals of England), have been made purposely, to give way to details of a more domestic nature. UPSTAIRS-CORRIDOR, STAIRCASE, AND ADJOINING ROOMS. _Edward, First Earl of Sandwich_: BY FELIZIANO. THREE-QUARTER LENGTH. (In a long black doublet, with the Star of the Garter, and the Jewel given him by the King of Sweden, over a long white waistcoat with innumerable buttons and gold embroidery; deep ruffles; holds his hat in one hand, the other rests on his hip. Painted during his Embassy in Spain.) Lord Sandwich is here much altered in appearance from his former portraits, but Pepys tells us he wore his beard in the Spanish fashion on his return from his Embassy; and a French correspondent about this time says: “Le Comte de Sandwich étoit bien fort, l’air doux, assez d’embonpoint, qui ne commençoit de l’incommoder qu’après son retour de l’Espagne.”
