Excerpt from Biographical Notices of the Portraits at Hinchingbrook

Lord Sandwich is here much altered in appearance from his former portraits, but Pepys tells us he wore his beard in the Spanish fashion on his return from his Embassy; and a French correspondent about _this time says: Le Comte de Sandwich �toit bien fort, l'air doux, assez d'embonpoint, qui ne commencoit de l'in commoder qu'apr�s son retour de i'espagne.
