The king had always about him several small English greyhounds; but of these only one was in favor at a time, the others being taken merely as companions and playmates to the fondling. As these greyhounds died they were buried on the Terrace of Sans Souci, with the name of each on a gravestone; and Frederick, in his will, expressed his desire that his own remains might be interred by their side--a parting token of his attachment to them, and of his contempt for mankind! On this point, however, his wishes have not been complied with.[23] _Lord Mahon's Historical Essays._ [23] Mr. Berkley, of Knightsbridge, who died in 1805, left a pension of L25 per annum to his four dogs. This man, when he felt his end approaching, called for his four dogs. These were placed by his side; and he reached them his trembling hand, caressed them, and breathed his last between their paws. The four dogs were sculptured, according to his last wish, upon the corners of his tomb. FREDERICK V. (of Denmark), 1723-1766. "_It is a great consolation to me, in my last hour, that I have never wilfully offended anyone, and that there is not a drop of blood on my hands._" FULLER (Andrew, English Baptist clergyman, first secretary of the English Baptist Missionary Society, and an author of great repute in his day. He has been called the "Franklin of Theology"), 1754-1815. "_I have no religious joys; but I have a hope, in the strength of which I think I could plunge into eternity_," said to a young minister who stood by his bedside. FUSELI or FUESSLI (John Henry, historical painter), 1741-1825. "_Is Lawrence come--is Lawrence come?_" He looked anxiously round the room--said several times, "Is Lawrence come--is Lawrence come?" and then appeared to listen for the sound of the chariot wheels which brought his friend once a day from London to his bedside. He raised himself up a little, then sank down and died, on the 16th of April, 1825, and in the 84th year of his age. _Life of Fuseli_ GAINSBOROUGH (Thomas, eminent portrait and landscape painter), 1727-1788. "_We are all going to heaven, and Vandyke is of the company._" GALBA (Servius Sulpicius, Roman Emperor), 3 B. C. 69 A. D. "_Strike, if it be for the Roman's good._"--_Plutarch._ "Ferirent si ita e republica videretur," are the words of Tacitus, who says, however, that there were many different stories of what he said; those who killed him could not be expected to care what it was; "non interfuit occidentium quid diceret."--_Clough._
