I was at school, and another book, as Watts says. If the question is
biographical, I can say nothing. C.B. _Temple Stanyan_ (No. 24. p. 382.).--He also published an _Account of Switzerland_, 8vo. London, 1714. M. _"Who was Temple Stanyan?"_ (no. 24. p. 382.) Temple Stanyan was the son of Abraham Stanyan, Esq., a Member of the Kit Kat Club, M.P. for Buckingham, Ambassador to the Porte, a Lord of the Admiralty, etc. Mr. Temple Stanyan was himself also Minister at Constantinople, and at several other courts; and afterwards Under-Secretary of State under both Addison and the Duke of Newcastle. He published in 1714 an Account of Switzerland; and his Grecian history in 2 vols. was, till the publication of Mitford's, the best in our language. I believe that his daughter married Adm. Sir Charles Hardy. He died in 1752. C. _Auctorite de Dibil_ (no. 25. p. 205.).--Probably an error of transcription; read _Auctorite de Bibil_. J.M.B. |
