Pagina 182 - The Prince's character at his first coming over,' says Hervey in his most piquant vein, ' though little more respectable, seemed much more amiable than, upon his opening himself further and being better known, it turned out to be ; for, though there appeared nothing in him to be admired, yet there seemed nothing in him to be hated — neither anything great nor anything vicious.
