Excerpt from Memoirs of the Court of England, Vol. 2 of 4: During the Reigns of William and Mary, Queen Anne, and the First and Second Georges Lord Churchill's character, he was, nevertheless, a person oi-too much importance, and had laid the prince under obligations of too grave a Character, to allow of his services or his interests being over looked. Accordingly, immediately after the acces sion of William, he was advanced to a higher rank in his profession; he was entrusted with the office of remodelling the army, and of reducing some of the newly raised regiments; was sworn of the Privy Council, and appointed a gentleman of the bed chamber. On the 9th of April, the same year he was created Earl of Marlborough, and shortly afterward was sent to Holland, in command of the English forces intended to serve in the army of the allies under the Prince of Waldeck. Marlborough arrived at Rotterdam in the month of May, and in August following was present at the battle of Walcourt, where the English troops distinguished themselves in a very creditable man ner by their personal gallantry. It was on this occasion that the Prince of Waldeck, while com mending Lord Marlborough's conduct to King William, observed, I have seen more of the art of war in a day than some generals in many years.

John Heneage Jesse was born in 1815 in London, England; the son of Edward Jesse.
He was educated at Eton.
Jesse was a clerk in the secretary's department of the Admiralty.
He died in London on the 7th of July 1874.
His poem on Mary Queen of Scots was published about 1831, and was followed by a collection of poems entitled Tales of the Dead. He also wrote a drama, Richard III. , and a fragmentary poem entitled London. None of these ventures achieved any success, but his numerous historical works are written with vivacity and interest. They include Memoirs of the Court of England during the Reign of the Stuarts (1840), Memoirs of the Court of England from the Revolution of 1688 to the Death of George"I I (1843), George Selwyn and his Contemporaries (1843, new ed. 1882), Memoirs of the Pretenders and their Adherents (1845), Memoirs of Richard the Third and his Contemporaries (1861), and Memoirs of the Life and Reign of King George the Third (1867). The titles of these works are sufficiently indicative of their character. They are sketches of the principal personages and of the social details of various periods in the history of England rather than complete and comprehensive historical narratives. In addition to these works jesse wrote Literary and Historical Memorials of London (1847), London and its Celebrities (1850), and a new edition of this work as London: its Celebrated Characters and Remarkable Places (1871). His Memoirs of Celebrated Etonians appeared in 1875.
