The Marquis of Worcester had every reason to expect 

 an agreeable change of fortune on the accession of Charles 

 the Second to the throne. He made a full declaration 

 to Lord Clarendon of the powers under which he had 

 acted for the late King in Ireland. He recovered a 

 large portion of his estates. He had given up all claim 

 to the promised title of Duke of Somerset. He was 

 granted an Act of Parliament for his Water-command 

 ing Engine, in 1663 ; and immediately after he printed 

 the first edition of his &quot; Century of Inventions.&quot; But he 

 was entirely neglected by the frivolous monarch on 

 whose consideration and patronage he had calculated, 

 with his usual confiding sincerity of heart. 



Worn out by three years delay, without any prospect 

 of improvement, he seems to have concluded on an 

 appeal in person to the House of Lords. But his first 



on the 20th of August, his Grace viewed the County Militia Regiment ; &quot; several 

 of the principal gentry&quot; on the occasion &quot; placing themselves in the front of the 

 stand of pikes. Doublings, countermarches, wheelings, variety of exercise, and 

 good and close firings were made.&quot; 



He returned to Badminton after nine weeks absence, &quot; extremely satisfied with 

 the good order in which his Grace found the militia,&quot; also &quot; with the reception and 

 entertainments in all places of the progress.&quot;
