Book Description

Excerpt from Report on the Manuscripts of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, K. G., K. T., Preserved at Montagu House, Whitehall, Vol. 2: Part 2 The King supped and dined next day with the Electrice and Princess. The Elector had a table on his own side, where were as many of the best English as it would hold. There was a great deal of good meat and ill wine for everybody else, but they filled it in such mighty glasses, and it came about so fast, that people grew drunk before they had half dined.
