hook Of very singular character, has lately
been published in London, and re-publshed in this
ci,y Itis entitled "the death bed confession Of
the late Countess of Guernsey, the Queen Caro-
lines last letter to the King, &C." 1t is book Of
little more than one hundred pages, We have had
,he curiosity to read it, and could we be satisfied
that il is genuine, we should recommend it as one
Of the most curious pieces of history Of secret court
otrigues which las appeared since the publication
Of "the Book" 1t displays such scenes of villain
GUS intrigue, Of corrupt practices and vicious pro-
pensites indulged, as have rarely been published.
Il is well known that the Countess of Guernsey
on the most intimate terms with the whole Royal
Family and il we may credit those confessions, she
abused every confidence placed in her She grossly
beied and betrayed the late Queen, the present
King, and every branch of TIE Royal Family of
England II is not possible TO read such displays
Of profigacy without being grateful that we have no
royal family, no nobility to contaminae the morals
and squander the wealth of the people. According
70 the volume before Caroline was the victim OF
the perfdy of the courtezans OF George ~. and OF
his MOTHER Dem Press.
