( b ) In Iub father's will, dat. 6 Nov. 1728, allusion is made to him as having never " shewed much taste or inclination for the knowledge which study and learning afford," but this paternal pique is attributed by Dr. Johnson to the son not allowing his wife " to keep company with his father's mistress," and it is stated in " Lodge " (Vol. i, p. 196) that " his Lordship bath been eminently distinguished in the literary world." Pope writes of him as one whose praises are that precious ointment Solomon speaks of." He is, however, chiefly known as a friend of Swift, of Pope, and of John- son, and as the author of some not very able tho' somewhat spiteful " Hetnai-ks on Swift," &c.
