NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS 



A few words about the Illustrations to the Volume. 

 For the portrait of Temple I have chosen George 

 Vertue's engraving, dated 1679, prefixed to the folio 

 of 1 73 1, after one of Lely's portraits, of which I 

 believe four are known at Emmanuel College, Cam- 

 bridge, at Broadlands, and at Chicksand Priory : at 

 Coddenham is, or was, a portrait of Temple as a youth 

 of eighteen, with a hunting-spear and greyhound. 



Besides Vertue's there are other engravings by 

 Vanderbanc (a very handsome portrait prefixed to 

 Courtenay's Life) ; by R. White (in Letters collected 

 by Swift, 1700); by Houbracken (curiously preferred 

 by Mr. Seccombe in his article on Temple in Diet, 

 of Nat. Biog.) ; and by Vandergucht (in Boyer's 

 Life of Temple). 



Most of the engravings bear the motto chosen by 

 Temple from Lucan, describing the character of old 

 Cato Servare modum, Jinemque tueri, Naturamque 

 Sequi : which fine Stoic legend may still be read over 

 the Portico at More Park, Farnham. Some might have
