ANTHONY BROWNE, VISCOUNT MONTAGUE, [GRANDSON and successor to Anthony, first lord viscount Montague, from whose good example, says Camden, he no ways degenerated 3. In 1591 he took to wife Jane, daughter of Thomas Sackville, lord Buckhurst and earl of Dorset ; and the year after succeeded both his father and grandfather in their estates and honour, being then in the twentieth year of his age.

They had indeed great resemblance in their manners; each copied nature faithfully. Vandyke's men are not all of exact height and symmetry, of equal corpulence; his women are not Madonnas or Venuses; the likeness seems to have been studied in all, the character in many: his dresses are those of the times. The historian's fidelity is as remarkable; he represents the folds and plaits, the windings and turnings of each character he draws; and though he varies the lights and shades as would best produce the effect he designs, yet his colours are never those of imagination, nor dis |
