When the Lord Townshend was Minister of State,a brother of his was content to be a City merchant ; and the time that the earl of Oxford governed Great Britain ,his younger brother
was no more than a factor in Alleppo, where he chose to live, and where he died. This custom,
which begins, however, to be laid aside, appear monstrous to Germans, vainly puffed up with
their extraction. These think it morally impossible that the son of an English peer should be
no more than a rich and powerful citizen, for all are princes in Germany.
