The wonderful village; a further record of some famous folk and places by Chelsea reach . ch is rather attractive,and her idolatry of her husband, whose life shewrote, is transparently unaffected eulogy. There is, by the way, a rather adroit letter fromCharles Cheyne to his wifes stepmother, in whichhe says : Who means to improve, madam, by yourdiscoveries, must study them alone, and, freeingthemselves of the pains of grammar rules, tediousmethods, and the fallacies of improved maxims,may arrive early at Truths, may be able to dis-course Things, not senseless distinctions. Lady Jane Cavendish married Charles Cheynein 1654, ten years after her fathers exile ; and if itbe true that it was with a part of her dowry thathe purchased the Manor of Chelsea, it is probablethat by that time the Duke, her father, was able toobtain some substantial allowances from his estates,though he only secured partial restitution of theseat the Restoration. Lady Cheyne lived for fourteen years at ChelseaPlace with her husband. For such small recordof her days here as remains to us we are indebted.
