CHARLES II.
1660
CHARLES II., when he ascended the throne of his ancestors, was
thirty years of age. He possessed a vigorous constitution, a fine
shape, a manly figure, a graceful air; and though his features were
harsh, yet was his countenance in the main lively and engaging. He
was in that period of life when there remains enough of youth to
render the person amiable, without preventing that authority and
regard which attend the years of experience and maturity.
Tenderness was excited by the memory of his recent adversities. His
present prosperity was the object rather of admiration than of envy.
And as the sudden and surprising revolution which restored him to
his regal rights, had also restored the nation to peace, law, order, and
liberty, no prince ever obtained a crown in more favorable
circumstances, or was more blessed with the cordial affection and
attachment of his subjects.
This popularity the king, by his whole demeanor and behavior, was
well qualified to support and to increase. To a lively wit and quick
comprehension, he united a just understanding and a general
observation both of men and things. The easiest manners, the most
unaffected politeness, the most engaging gayety, accompanied his
conversation and address. Accustomed during his exile, to live
among his courtiers rather like a companion than a monarch, he
retained, even while on the throne, that open affability which was
capable of reconciling the most determined republicans to his royal
dignity. Totally devoid of resentment, as well from the natural lenity
as carelessness of his temper, he insured pardon to the most guilty of
his enemies, and left hopes of favor to his most violent opponents.
From the whole tenor of his actions and discourse, he seemed
desirous of losing the memory of past animosities, and of uniting
every party in an affection for their prince and their native country.
Into his council were admitted the most eminent men of the nation,
without regard to former distinctions: the Presbyterians, equally
with the royalists, shared this honor. Annesley was also created earl
of Anglesey; Ashley Cooper, Lord Ashley; Denzil Hollis, Lord Hollis.
