Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Reign of King George the Second, Vol. 3 Yet an Admiralty did not make an Administra tion. No man of abilities or reputation would enlist - even Sir Thomas Robinson refused to take the Seals again. Yet the Duke embarked with satis faction, telling Mr. Conway, the King could not be in a worse situation than he had been Yes, Sir, said Conway, but he will, if Mr. Pitt gets the better. And Fox, to gratify at least some of his views in this revolution, procured a grant for him self and his two sons of the reversion of Dodding ton's place of Clerk of the Pells in Ireland. The King had forbidden the Duke, who negotiated this business, to mention the Peerage for Lady Caroline, which he would never grant; but he would give him Doddington's place for his child Say children, Sir, replied the Duke. With all my heart, said the King; it is the same thing to me. He cared not how many reversions he granted from his successor. Still it was impossible for Fox himself to accept any ministerial post till the inquiries were at an end; the whole tempest would have been directed at his head.
