brandishing it at the whole ofthe French
army, and calling out to his own men to
come on, in bad English, but with the
most famous pluck and spirit. In '45,
when the Pretender was at Derby, and
many people began to look pale, the
king never lost his courage-not he
epoch! don't talk to me that stuff"
he said, like gallant little prince as he
was, and never for one moment allowed
his equanimity, or his business, or his
pleasures, or his travels, to be disturbed.
On public festivals he always appeared
in the hat and coat he wore on the IA
NOUS day of Oudenarde; and the people
laughed, but kindly, at the odd old gar
ment, for bravery never goes out of
fashion.
In private life the prince showed HIM
self a worthy descendant Of his father.
In this respect, so much has been said
about the first Georges manners, that
we need not enter into a description of
the sons German harem. In l705 he
married princess remarkable for beau
ty, for cleverness, for learning, for good
temper-=one of the truest and fondest
wives ever prince was blessed with, and
who loved him and was faithful to him,
and he, in his coarse fashion, loved her
to the last. 1t must be to the honor of
Caroline of Anspach, that, at the time
when German princes thought no more
Of changing their religion than you of
altering your cap, she refused to give up
Professionalism for the other creed, altho'
an Archduke afterWard to be an En-
peror, was offered to herasa bridegroom.
Her Protestant relations in Berlin were
angry at her rebellous spirit; it was
they who tried to convert her, tit is droll
to think that Frederick the Great, who
had no religion at all, was known for a
long time in England as the Protestant
hero,) and. these good Protestants set
upon Caroline Il certain Father Urban,
a very skillful jesuit, and famous Win
ner of souls. But she routed the Jesuit;
and she refused Charles vi; and she
married the little Electoral Prince OF
Hanover, Whom she tended With love,
and with every manner ofsacriiee, with
artfld kindness, With tender hattery,
with entire self-devotion, theneeforWard
until her iife's end.
When George l. made his first visit
to Hanover, his son was appointed re-
gent during the royal absence. But this
honor was never again conferred on the
Prince of Wales; he and his father fell
out presently. On the occasion OF the
christening of his second son, a royal
row took place, and the prince, shaking
his fist in the Duke of NeWcascle's face,
called him q rogue, and provoked his
august father. He and his wife We're
turned out of st. James's, and their
princely children taken from them, by
order of the royal head OF the family
Father and mother wept piteously at
parting from their little ones. The
young ones sent some cherries, with
their love, to papa and mamma; the
parents watered the fruit with tears

The king called his daughter-in-law
"cette diablesse aaotlane la panacesse." p
The frequenters of the latter's court We're
forbidden to appear at the kings: their
royal highnesses going to Bath, we read
how the courtiers followed them thither,
and paid that homage in Somersetshire
which was forbidden in London. That

turned into ridicule the antiquated sui

savage letters about him home to mem

the royal presence, the prince and prin-
cess set up for themselves in Leicester
Fields, "where," says Walpole, :" the
