1889 diary p36 Lord Chesterfield's appearance

[Deskman]

Having read about Lord Chesterfield's letters in the Quarterly Review our diarist made comments some of which I struggle with. The xxxxxx has been a challenge, Can you help?

"almost immediately after his death – Chesterfield seems
to have had a finely formed person & a face of
the greatest beauty"

Thanks for any ideas.

bold text is thanks to help here.

Knowing how the letter l often all but disappears before a y, I venture to suggest ... finely formed person ?

[Deskman]

Thanks Bookbox,
I really could not see the l at all but yes, finely it is.
