and other members of his family,
He appeared before het Majesty do three different occasions,
March 23rd, 1844, April Ist. 1814, and April igth. 1844. Her

gold and enamel. He was likewise presented with an elegant
miniature watch and chain by her late Majesty 'he Queen Dowager,

the Duke of Devonshire, their Majesties the late King and Queen
of the French, and numerous other potentates, lords, ladies, and
gentry. These unique presents may be seen at the little General's

in features, voice, or size since he appeared three times before her
Majesty at Buckingham Palace, 13 years ago. and exhibited before
600,000 of the nobility and gentry at Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, in
1844. Hundreds who knew him intimately at that time recognise
him daily. His intellect is vastly expanded, and his songs, dances,

pipe, &c.
