Lord Burlington
THE NEW PEERAGES.
... ...
We have now arrived at the Coronation Peers.

... Lord George Cavendish, who is now in the seventy-eighth
year of his age, is grandson of the last Earl of Burlington.
That eminent nobleman, so celebrated for his taste in
architecture, died in 1735, after the title, which was first
conferred on his great-grandfather, Richard second Earl of
Cork, in 1664, had existed about seventy years. The late

Keighley.
