Excerpt: ... wise for the county of Kent; and was Master of the Horse to Frederick, Prince of Wales. His Grace enjoyed the title and estate only three years. He was a fine gentleman, and had an excellent taste for poetry and the fine arts J; but was prevented exercising his benevolence and patronage by the straitness of his fortune.
