PERSONAL TRAITS.
These stories OF this great Kings personal life
and habits made their own impres ion upon Mr..
Grevllle. "A more contemplate, Gov ardly selfish,
unieehng dog does not exist than this King, on
bitterness OF his character prevents his displaying
the dangerous faults that belong TO great minds,
and most con,emptioie orler It Would DIFF dicuIt to

There Is another glimpse or the Defender OF the

ROYALTY IN SERIOUS MOOD.
Occasionally the mind OF this glorious Prince
became absorbed in serious questions. "Thls
