 §22. Younger Contemporaries of Dryden: George Granville (Lord Lansdowne); William Walsh. VI. Lesser Verse Writers. ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
We must, of course, begin with the group which, as has been said—though all its members lived into Pope’s time, and two of them were specially singled out by him as patrons, and, in a way, patterns—represent, in actual historic relation, the younger contemporaries of Dryden.
For Stepney, a notable diplomatist in his day, represented Marlborough in the taking-over of the principality of Mindelheim, and King is constantly confused with his twenty years younger namesake (1685–1763), the clever but venomous jacobite principal of St. Mary hall.
Granville, Lord Lansdowne, does not quite deserve, even from a literary point of view, the neglect which has betaken him, and, to all who can appreciate the genealogy of poetry—a thing which has attractions far other than those affecting Dryasdust—is by no means negligible.

George Stepney was one of the most remarkable men of the end of the seventeenth century.
Diplomatic history has tended to focus on the monarchs and princes rather than on the handful of professional diplomats whose job it was to ‘lie abroad for their country’, of whom Stepney stands as an unusually well-documented example.
The fruit of over ten years’ research in major archival collections throughout Europe, George Stepney provides new and valuable material on a key period of political and military history.

 Jack the Buck - John Geoghegan
Under the penal statutes of the time, any "Irish Papist" was considered unfit to own a horse and if he was fortunate enough to have one was obliged to sell it to any member of the established church for £5.
As the candles flickered in the darkness, Geoghegan's aim was straight and true and he hit his man. There was continued bad blood between Stepney and Geoghegan and it wasn't long before Jack found an excuse to engage him in a duel.
A second account states that Stepney never showed up for the duel, presumably because he feared Geoghegan's prowess which he had witnessed first hand.
