The assertion of her dying worth a million of money (says a writer in The Athenwm) is hardly worth attention; the extract from the original letter, by Seward, must have contained a 0 too much. What the Duke of Buckingham told Bishop Burnet, that Neil's first demand on the king was five hundred a year, which he rejected; but that in about four years afterwards, she had managed to obtain more than sixty thousand pounds, goes far to make up; the one hundred thousand, which it is more generally allowed she died possessed of.
