(4) Lord Cockburn's 'Memorials,' pp. 25-6. (5) From a letter of Canon Moseley, read at a Memorial Meeting held shortly after the death of the late Lord Herbert of Lea. (6) Izaak Walton's 'Life of George Herbert.' (7) Stanley's 'Life and Letters of Dr. Arnold,' i. 33. (8) Philip de Comines gives a curious illustration of the subservient, though enforced, imitation of Philip, Duke of Burgundy, by his courtiers. When that prince fell ill, and had his head shaved, he ordered that all his nobles, five hundred in number, should in like manner shave their heads; and one of them, Pierre de Hagenbach, to prove his devotion, no sooner caught sight of an unshaven nobleman, than he forthwith had him seized and carried off to the barber!--Philip de Comines (Bohn's Ed.), p. 243. (9) 'Life,' i. 344. (10) Introduction to 'The Principal Speeches and Addresses of H.R.H. the Prince Consort,' p. 33. (11) Speech at Liverpool, 1812. CHAPTER IV.--WORK. |
