There is a striking likeness of Dr. King in Worlidge's View of the Installation of Lord Westmoreland, as Chancellor of Oxford, in 1761.

In the MS. Account of Dr. King, attached to the copy of his Work whence the preceding Key has been extracted, it is recounted that he was no friend to the two first Georges, but soon after the accession of George the Third to the Throne, he renounced his former antipathy to the Hanoverian Family, and transferred his allegiance from James to George.

On the Dedication of Radcliffe's Library in 1749 he spoke the Latin Oration, which was received with the highest acclamations by a splendid auditory; and Mr. Warton, in his “Triumphs of Isis," pays him a very great compliment on the composition.

Mr. Chalmers, in the Biographical Dictionary, after relating various particulars of our Author, upon the authority of Nichols's Life of Bowyer and Swift's Works, mentions, that he was the Editor of the Five First Volumes of Dr. South's Sermons-my manuscript account says he was Editor of the Five LAST Volumes.
