page 58 of 67 (86%)
{32} The son of the Member for the County.

{33} Mr. Godschall, of Weston House, Albury. An accomplished
gentleman, LL.D. of Oxford, cousin of Lady Palmerston, the mother
of the late Lord Palmerston.

{34} Of Parkhurst, where Rousseau was his guest for some time.

{35} Who built the Leith Hill Tower, and was buried there.

{36} It is remarkable that a young attorney of 22 should have been
invited to the social meetings of elderly and middle-aged gentlemen
of the highest position in the neighbourhood. His grandson, the
late Mr. Edward Bray, inherited his companionable qualities, and
was welcome in every house he visited.

{37} The Member for the County.

{38} Of Betchworth Castle. The author of 'The Light of Nature.'

{39} The father of the late Sir Henry Austen. He had been
articled, as well as Mr. Bray, to Mr. Martyr. He afterwards
purchased a Clerkship in the Six Clerks' Office in Chancery.

{40} Mr. Bray's marriage made little difference in his habits this
year. He was almost every night with his friends at cards or
backgammon; in the summer evenings at bowls; frequently at the
morning services on week days at the Middle Church. He had very
little to do at this time in his profession.
