in December 15th, 1752, unmarried; third, Lady Elizabeth; fourth, Lady Anne, died unmarried; fifth, Lady Rebecca, mar. ried to William, Lord Abergavenny.

The Earl's second Lady was Barbara, daughter to Sir Thomas Slingsby, of Scriven in the county of York, Bart. and widow of John, Lord Arundel of Trerise, and before of Sir Richard Mauleverer, of Allerton Mauleverer in Yorkshire, Bart. and by her had a daughter, the Lady Barbara, who, on October 3d, 1730, was married to William Dudley North, of Glemham Hall in the county of Suffolk, Esq. and died December 27th, 1752.

And her Ladyship dying August 1st, 1721, his Lordship married, thirdly, in 1725, Mary, sister to Scroop, Lord Viscount Howe, then maid of honour to her late Majesty Queen Caroline, when Princess of Wales, and afterwards one of the ladies of the bed-chamber, by whom he had no issue; and she, surviving him, was secondly married to the Hon. John Mordaunt, brother to the Earl of Peterborough. He was succeeded in his honours and estate by Henry his eldest son.

Which HENRY, NINTH EARL OF PEMBROKE AND SIXTH EARL OF MONTGOMERY, whilst Lord Herbert, was on the accession of George I. appointed one of the lords of the bed-chamber to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales; who, on his coming to the crown. June 11th, 1727, continued him in the same post. His Lordship, on September 22d, 1721, was constituted captain and colonel of the first troop of horse guards, which he afterwards resigned for the command of the King's royal regiment of horse. In 1735, he was made groom of the stole to his Majesty; and on May 12th, 1740, was appointed one of the lords justices during his Majesty's absence. Having before been gradually promoted to the ranks of brigadier, and major general, he was on February 20th, 1741, constituted lieutenant general of his Majesty's forces; and on April 25th, 1743, again appointed one of the lords justices. His Lordship, on August 28, 1733, married Mary, eldest daughter of Richard, Viscount Fitzwilliams of the kingdom of Ireland, who was one of the maids of honour to her late Majesty, by which Lady, who departed this life February 13th, 1769, at her house in Privy Gardens, and was interred in the family vault at Wilton, he left issue Henry, late Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery.

He had not only a great taste, but genius for the arts: Lord Orford says, "The soul of Inigo Jones, who had been patronized by his ancestors, seemed still to hover over its favourite Wilton, and to have assisted the Muses of Arts in the education of this

noble person. The towers, the chambers, the scenes, which Holbein, Jones, and Vandyke, had decorated, and which Earl Thomas had enriched with the spoils of the best ages, received the last touches of beauty from Earl Henry's hand. He removed all that obstructed the views to or from his palace, and threw Palladio's theatric bridge over his river: the present Lord has crowned the summit of the hill with the equestian statue of Marcus Aurelius, and a handsome arch designed by Sir William Chambers. No man had a purer taste in building than Earl Henry, of which he gave a few specimens: besides his works at Wilton, the New Lodge in Windsor park; the Countess of Suffolk's house, at Marble hill, Twickenham; the Water-house in Lord Orford's park, at Houghton, are incontestable proofs of Lord Pembroke's taste; it was more than taste, it was passion for the utility and honour of his country, that engaged his Lordship to promote and assiduously overlook the construction of Westminster-bridge, by the ingenious Monsieur Labelye, a man that deserves more notice than this slight encomium can bestow."

His Lordship died suddenly on Tuesday night, January 9th, 1750-1, at his house in Privy-gardens Whitehall; and on January 16th, his corpse was carried from his said dwelling house to be interred at Wilton, in Wiltshire, amongst his ancestors. His Countess surviving, was married, secondly, in September 1751, to North Ludlow Barnard, Esq. major of dragoons, and died February 13th, 1769.

Which HENRY, TENTH EARL OF PEMBROKE AND SEVENTH EARL OF MONTGOMERY, was born on July 3, 1734, and succeeding his father, his Majesty, on April 12th, 1751, gave the royal assent to an act, "to empower the guardians of Henry Earl of Pembroke, to make leases of his real estate, during his minority." In 1752, his Lordship, being on his travels, waited on his Majesty, then at Hanover, and was there appointed a cornet of horse. On February 16th, 1754, his Lordship was appointed captain of a troop, in the first regiment of dragoons, and returning from his travels in 1755, took his seat in the house of peers on the meeting of the parliament. He was constituted lord lieutenant and custos rotulorum of Wiltshire, April 6th, 1756; and in November that year, was appointed a lord of the bed chamber to his present Majesty, when Prince of Wales; in which station he was continued for some time, after his accession to the throne, October 25th, 1760. His Lordship was also nominated aid-de-camp, May 9th, 1758, to the late King. On March 14th, 1759, he was

constituted lieutenant-colonel of general Elliott's regiment of light armed cavalry; promoted to the rank of major-general, on March 10th, 1761; also advanced to the rank of lieutenantgeneral, on April 30th, 1770; and of general on Nov. 26th, 1782; and on May 9th, 1764, was constituted colonel of the first regiment of dragoons; and afterwards colonel of the Queen's bays. His Lordship was also high steward of Salisbury and one of the lords of his Majesty's bed-chamber.

On March 13th, 1756, he married Lady Elizabeth, second daughter of Charles Spencer, late Duke of Marlborough, and by her had a still-born child, June 9th, 1758; a son George, Lord Herbert, born September 10th, 1759, now Earl of Pembroke; and a daughter Charlotte, born July 15th, 1773; died April 21st, 1784, in France.

His Lordship died January 26th, 1794; and was succeeded by his only son,

GEORGE, ELEVENTH EARL OF PEMBROKE, and EIGHTH EARL OF MONTGOMERY, who early entered into the army, as ensign in the twelfth regiment of foot; from whence he has gradually risen to the rank of lieutenant-general, and to the command of the sixth (or Inniskilling) regiment of dragoons. In May 1807, he was sent on a special embassy to Vienna, k
