baboon-face to match, which he even helps by paint." ... Here is
one Scene; at Frankfurt-on-Mayn; fact certain, day not given.

FRANKFURT, "LATTER END OF AUGUST," 1742. "At Frankfurt, his Army
having got into the neighborhood,"--not into Frankfurt itself,
which, as a REICHS-STADT, is sacred from Armies and their
marchings,--"Marechal de Maillebois, as in duty bound, waited on
the Kaiser to pay his compliments there: on which occasion, we
regret to say, Marechal de Maillebois was not so reverent to the
Imperial Majesty as he should have been. Angry belike at the
Adventure now forced on him, and harassed with many things;
seeing in the Imperial Majesty little but an unfortunate Play-actor
Majesty, who lives in furnished lodgings paid for by France, and
gives France and Maillebois an infinite deal of trouble to little
purpose. Certain it is, he addressed the Imperial Majesty in the
most free-and-easy manner; very much the reverse of being dashed by
the sacred Presence: and his Officers in the ante-chamber, crowding
about, all day, for presentation to the Imperial Majesty, made a
noise, and kept up a babble of talk and laughter, as if it had been
a mess-room, instead of the Forecourt of Imperial Majesty. So that
Imperial Majesty, barely master of its temper and able to finish
without explosion, signified to Maillebois on the morrow, That
henceforth it would dispense with such visits, Poor Imperial
Majesty; a human creature doing Play-actorisms of too high a
flight. He had the finest Palace in Germany; a wonder to the Great
Gustavus long ago: and now he has it not; mere Meutzels and horrent
shaggy creatures rule in Munchen and it: and the Imperial quasi-
furnished lodgings are respected in this manner!" [Van Loon,
