Insane EnqIish Monarchs.

George III. is the only British mon
arch who ia modern times has been
placed uNder restraint and deprived
Of his authority because Of insanity,
though similar measures were at one
time contemplated with regard to his
son, George ", the monarch who
has been described as "a bad son, a
bad husband, bad father, bad sub
ject, c bad monarch and a bad friend"
and whose conduct while on the throne
was characterized by an eccentricity
which bordered on lunacy.
The insanity Of George III. was real
ly brought about by the dangerous
illness Of his youngest and favorite
child. Princess Amelia. The unlikeli-
hood Of her recovery preyed upon him
and hastened the attack Of mental de
Rangement which incapacitated him
from reigning, although he had pre-
viously suffered from this malady. He
died hopelesSly insane at Windsor after
losing his sight as we'll as his senses
