POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION OF

HIS LATE MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, JUNE 20, 1837.

On examining the mortal remains of his late Majest:
William the Fourth, the following appearances were noticed :
In the right cavity of the chest there was an effusion o
about 14 ounces of serous fluid.
The luag on that side was nowhere adherent, the vessels
of the lower lobe were very much tinged with blood, and tic
air-cells contained a mucous and serous fluid having a blood)
tinge.
The left lung adhered generally and with great firmness ti
the surface of the pleura lining the chest ; these adhesioi,
appear to have resulted from former attacks of inflammation.
The vessels of this lung were also tinged with blood, an,
its lower portion was somewhat indurated.
The rings of the trachea and bronchi were ossified to t
great extent; and the lining membrane was of a dark colour:
in consequence of the distended state of the vessels.
The pericardium adhered universally to the surface of tl e
heart; but these adhesions were slight, and appeared to be ci
very recent formation.
The heart itself was large, and softened in its texture. It
right side was extremely distended with blood, but exhibits'
no marks of organic disease.
On the left side of the heart the mitral valves were found 1,
be ossified, and the three semilunar valves of the aorta were a
the same state. The ossification was in two of them to sut '
an extent that it must have materially interfered with the
['unctions.

The coats of tl:e aorta were much thickened, and nn i
inner or lining membrane there wcie several deposits of eartl
matter. _ . .

The liver was somewhat enlarged and hardened, and was cl
a granulated structure throughout.
The gall bladder was extremely contracted, and contains (-
but little bile. .

....
The spleen was increased to double its natural size, and
large ro:tion of its surface was covered with a cartilaginot
deposit.
The pancreas was enlarged and indurated.
The stomach and intestines were healthy, except at one pat
)f the large intestine, which was narrowed by a thickening
is inner membrane.

The right kidney was quite sound, but the left was onus call
vascular, and exhibited a granulated appearance. The ii
vesting membrane adhered very slightly to it.
The bidder was in a healthy state.
