text_original: The King was much pleased with Walpole's success. He made him one of the thirty eight Knights of the Bath. The Order of the Bath had gone out of use, out of existence in fact, since the coronation of Charles the Second ; George the First revived it in 1725, and bestowed its honours on Walpole. It seems an odd sort of reward for the shrewd, practical, and somewhat coarse j&bred squire  statesman.
