THE DUKE of BUCKINGHAM'S MEMOIRS
of the COURT and CABINETS of GEORGE 111., from
Original Family Documents.

"The present volumes," says the " Athenmum," " exhibit the same
features as the former portion of the series. The general reader is
entertained and the reader for historical purposes is enlightened. 01
their value and importance there cannot be tWo opin'ons. There are
abundant revelations of interest to arrest attent'on in many of these
papers. On the characters of George IV. and the Duke of Wellington
there are some very valuable letters. In Court scandals the affair»
of the Duke of York and Mrs. Clarke are brought under.notice ; and
n what we may designate as public scindal=, the ' horrors of rou-
tine,' receive abundant illustration in the letters about the Walchercn
Expedition and on the Peninsular War. Our extracts sufficiently
show the high interest belonging to these volutnes."
Hurst and Blackett, publishers, successors to Henry Colburn.
