The Royal Dukes and Princesses of the Family of George III, Vol. 1 of 2: A View of Court Life and Manners for Seventy Years, 1760-1830 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Royal Dukes and Princesses of the Family of George III, Vol. 1 of 2: A View of Court Life and Manners for Seventy Years, 1760-1830
Besides gathering together all the published materials laid up from innumerable volumes, many scarce or often unknown, into a regular form, I have here collected a large amount of unpublished letters, diaries, and other interesting ms. Matter. These are to be read in our National Museum, instead of, as might be expected, being kept in the archives of the Royal Family. Of these I have made due use, though, it is hoped, exercising also due discretion.
To make the picture of Court life as complete, I have devoted a portion of the first volume to an account of the Royal Head of the family as he appeared in his domestic circle, and in the enjoyment of his simple and moderate recreations. This view I have been careful to open, not from the more familiar memoirs, like Mr. J case's - though Miss Burney has been drawn upon to some extent - but from the Harcourt Papers and the columns of the Court Circulars of the day.
With these materials I think I may take credit for offering a picture of Court life that is not to be found elsewhere, and which will, on the whole, raise the Royal Family in public estimation.
