There is one remarkable entry:--

"Feb. 11. This week all Mr. Henley's writings were seized, to be

examined by the State. _Vide Magnam Chartam_, and _Eng Lib._"

It is evident by what follows that the _personalities_ he made use of

were one means of attracting auditors.

"On the action of Cicero, and the beauty of Eloquence, and on living

characters; of action in the Senate, at the Bar, and in the Pulpit--of

the Theatrical in all men. The manner of my Lord ----, Sir ----, Dr.

----, the B. of ----, being a proof how all life is playing something,

but with different action."
