T, pp. 444^55 ; especially (p. 446, note 3) as to the curious mistake in the " Autobiography of Bfaru, C*iunie»t of WarwUA,** relating to this lady. (*) The death of his hopeful grandson, Robert Rich, only two months before his own, had much afieoted him. The Earl was " a g^eat patron of seamen and of the Puritans, and seems to liave owed his success in life rather to his agreeable and popular manners than to more sterling qualitiea." [Jffer. and Oen.^** vol. y, p. 445]. According to Lloyd, he was '* serions in his carriage, rough in his spirit, stubborn in his constitution, steady in his course, stem in his comportment, sly and oloae in his conduct ; choosingf rather to improve himself in America by trade, than in England by courtship ; something inclined to the faction by the principles of his education, more by those of his interest" Lord Clarendon speaks of him as '* a man in no grace at court, and looked upon as the greatest patron of the Puritans. . . tho' he was of a life very licentious and unconformable to their professed rigour ... of a pleasant and companionable wit and conversation ; of an universal jollity, and such a licence in his words and in his actions that a man of less virtue could not be found." His portrait "after Van Dyek," is engraved in *^ Doyle,** as also bv Houbraken, Vertue, and Hollar.
