Mivart's Hotel, London.
_Dryden's "Absolom and Achitophel"_ (Vol. ii. p. 423.).--The passage in
_Absolom and Achitophel_ is taken from Fuller's _Profane State_, speaking
of Alva:
"He was one of a lean body and visage, as if his eager soul, biting for
anger at the clog of his body, desired to fret a passage through it;"
and from Carew, p. 71.,
"The purest soul that ere was sent
Into a clayey tenement."
