lire relating as it does exclusively to that period of existence when all ranks are upon a level it is equally hono rable to the subject and to its author and not the less so from its manifest truth to nature the duke is here represented and with an ir- restible appearance of truth as more calmly resigned to the approach of death than falls we believe to the lot of the majority of mor tals yet with a fingering and unextinguisha- ble hope of recovery which however it may often be attempted to be disguised clings we have no doubt in manhood in all its stages as long as ihe glimmering taper throws a catch ing arid expiring light upon the frail tenement winch contains it it is impossible to contem plate the calm scene which this memoir dis close and nor to look hack with something like a feeling of disgust at the recollection that it was at the resignation of this princes death bed that the yell of exultation was raised hy persons who if they have any feelings at all must oi reading

general feeling which it produced has caused so many particulars to be circulated received by the public as authen tic for which there either was no foundation or at least very imperfect foundation that i have on due consideration been induced to draw up from minutes taken during tnis dis tressing and trvina period of my attendance upon his royal highness a statement not of i he progiess of the disease or of the treatment pursued but dfsticft circumstances and facts as will shew the condition of his royal hlgll- uesss mind under ihisawfu visitation of pro vidence will do justice to the exemplary ieo- lution with which he met and submitted to it and will satisfy his attached friends that his royal highness was in every point oj view deserving of the respect the affection which have so strongly marked their sentiments tow ards him and of the deep trief c regret which his death has occasioned in their minds and in those of the respectable and well thinking individuals of eveiv

afterwards told me that his strength sleep and appetite had improved but iht the medicines he had taken hid ceased to have the desired effect in checking the progress of the main disorder and that me

not mistaken him i did and he observed that he also had so understood him- bill that he did not augur from it thai his case was hopeless which im- piession i confirmed he expressed an ear nc hope tha- the symptoms of his disorder were no generally known or talked of i have been thus particular m the state ment of what passed upon these occasions to show how anxious his royal highness was not to he kept in the dark how fearlessly he met the coinmnnicatiul of the existence of danger and above all to show that he was early appri sed of his critical state from the contemplation of which he at no time shrunk although he was at all times anxious to conceal from the generality of those who approached bun that he did not look forward with undiminished confidence to a favourable issue on the following dav sunday the 27th of august his ito il highness again spoke to me very quiet vj in repaid to his situation told me that although not alaimed c although he had heard nothing thai should shake his hopes of ultimate recovery he could not conceal from himself that hi situation called for scri- oo contemplation whatever might be the result there would be time for certain arrange ments and the settlement of his affair but there was one duty he did not wish to defer he felt indeed that il ought not lobe deterred until it should seem to be imposed by a con viction of immediate danger and resorted lo when hope had ceased to exist he had therefore determined to take the sacrament upon an early day and io request his friend the bishop of london to administer it to him hut lie was
