The Public Advertiser, London, May 1, 1758

A Careful, sober, young Fellow, wants a Place, as a Butler our of Livery, in a small Family, or to serve a single Gentleman, that is not over Nice in his Dress, and can have a Character from his last Place, where he has lived upwards of two Years, that no Gentleman or Lady can object against. Please to leave a Line for A.Z. at Mr. Eaton’s in Fell street, near Cripplegate.

What’s this guy’s hangup with clothing? He neither wants to be in livery or have his master be “over nice in his dress”. I wonder what happened at his last position?

  29. iusedtoweavecrowns said: I thought “as a butler out of livery” might mean he used to be a butler and is now jobless/without livery? But i wouldn’t really know and it still doesn’t explain the “not nice in dress” thing :)
