Children[edit]

Most of the information on children was added by user:loveActresses back in 2010. In the last 7 years no citations have been added to support that information. So I am moving it to this page and leaving the family with the information contained in the DNB. If someone can find reliable sources to back up the text I am removing then please reinstate it with citing the reliable sources

Query (under Literary Works section)[edit]

You instance "Sauntering Charles" among the subjects of his Essay on Satire, but it ought to be explained who this nickname is referring to. Is it King Charles II, or someone else like a writer or member or the court circle?Cloptonson (talk) 06:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
