Last Kinq

By Manfred S. Guttmacher.
Charles Scribner'S Sons, Ne1D
York.
The author of this book, an emf
nent Baltimore psychiatrist, de-
scribes the work as IAN mterpreta-
ton of the madness of George III"
Actually it is great deal more than
that. Comparatively little of the
book is devoted to discussion Of
mental sickness of Americas last
King. Instead the great part of
the text is given to the political
events of the Kings reign, the mon
arch's attitude toward these hap
penings, his relations with his min
listers and family and the general
expression of his personality
throughout his life. He was, as it
happened, mad intermittently. DR..
Guttmacher considers him manic
Oppressive. Between the intervals
of his attacks he was quite sane.
1t was the hope of the political op-
position, when madness attacked
him, to gain its ends before he re-
covered. So the work becomes a
history of plot and counterplot,
sordid and heartless, in which the
Door King, who in American school,
books is made the villain in our
national piece, emerges as an al
most unbearably pathetic figure.
DR.. Guttmacher begins with
Georges adolescence, when the
young prince was completely under
the influence of Lord Butte, the re-
puted lover of his mother. The Wilkes
riots, the revolt of the American
colonies, the Gordon riots, the dis
affection of the Prince of Wales
these chapters of history are care
fully studied in relation to the royal
attitude. When madness actually
overcame the monarch DR.. Gutt-
macher gives in close detail the re-
ports of the physicians from day to
day and the treatments tried Even
in illness George could not be free
from plotters, for the polltlclans
influenced his medical men and
divided them into factions Whlcn
fought among themselves with the
customary fury of scientists aroused:
When finally the Kings mind f1ed
once and for all, and he retired 10
his roomful of spinets to play con-
certs for ladies most of whom were
long since dead, it comes as a re-
lief to readers. The history Is I'M
mensely interesting, but it is mar
rowing, too. NJ. W.
