I04 The Duchess of Newcastle 



5000/. and the loss of it for eight years comes to 

 16,000/. 



All of which, if summed up together, amounts 



to 941,303^. 

 These are the accountable losses, which my dear 

 Lord and husband has suffered by the late civil wars, 

 and his loyalty to his king and country. GDncerning 

 the loss of his personal estate, since (as I often men- 

 tioned) it cannot be exactly known; I shall not 

 endeavour to set down the particulars thereof, onely 

 in general give you are note of what partly they are : 



1. The pulling down of several of his dwelling or 

 mannor-houses. 



2. The disfurnishing of them, of which the furniture 

 at Bolsover and Welbeck was very noble and rich: 

 out of his London-house at Clarkenwell, there were 

 taken, amongst other goods, suits of hnnen, viz. 

 table-cloths, sideboard-cloths, napkins, etc., whereof 

 one suit cost 160/. they being bought for an entertain- 

 ment which My Lord made for their Majesties, King 

 Charles the First, and the Queen, at Bolsover Castle ; 

 and of 150 suits of hangings of all sorts in all his 

 houses, there were not above 10 or 12 saved. 



Of silver-plate. My Lord had so much as came to 

 the value of 3800/. besides several curiosities of 

 cabinets, cups, and other things, which after My Lord 

 was gone out of England, were taken out of his 

 mannor-house, Welbeck, by a garison of the King's 

 party that lay therein, whereof he recovered onely 

 iiooZ. which money was sent him beyond the seas, 

 the rest was lost. 



As for pewter, brass, bedding, linnen, and other 

 houshold-stuff, there was nothing else left but some 

 few old feather-beds, and those all spoiled, and fit 

 for no use.
