George the Third wished nothing het the good of his people,
aid, aa he declared to L,rd Bate, he regarded all who
' opposed him as the bad lase and bad subjects.
Returning from an excursion amongst questions of policy
to the humbler court gossip, Mr. Theckerey, from Miss
Buntey's description of her miserable life in the Queen's
household, portrayed the life at Kew and Windsor, the
little Qum surrounded by her stoat ems and fair daaph•
tele, the household frugal and orderly, bat the whole thing
stupid to a degree oae shudders now to untemplue—a
quieter home or a more prosaic life could not be imagined.

the regal character. Gilroy represented him, like a Hie,
of Brotallpag, holding a lilt/atlas Napolua in the palm
of hi band, and surveying hist through an opera/lase.
"I bad ones thought," add Mr. Thulium, "of making
a collection of the lie* that the French had imitated against
se, and that we bad published egoist them dating the
war." The life of the Prime's Amelia, the darling of the
old Hies, her fattier, made a beautiful episode of the lee-
ture—sad the last seem presented him heartbroken at her
death. With her death MSOII deserted him, end from the
10th of November 1710, George the Third ceased to reign.
Mr. Theelteray coucluded—History presents no sadder

wandering through kis pelmet, haranguing imaginary

utterly deaf toe. All sight, all »sem, ell wand of human

He would give his us/natio* to submit to it. He thee
