Add to basketSeven pages, on four leaves, plus conjugate with secretarial docket. Folio. Sewn with silk, red wax & paper seal in left margin first page. Light fold marks, otherwise in good clean condition. Folding cloth case. The text is written in a neat secretarial hand, and boldly signed at the top of the first page, 'George P.R.'. Here a…cting as Prince Regent on behalf of George III, the future George IV authorizes the Great Seal to be affixed to an instrument authorizing three or more of his designated ministers, in company with the Archbishop of Canterbury, to witness and sign a treaty of marriage between his daughter, Princess Charlotte Augusta, and Leopold George Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield. Those authorized to witness the contract are: Dudley, Earl of Viscount Castlereagh, and Nicholas Vansittart. The wedding took place on 2 May, but the Princess died in childbirth on 5th November 1817. Her untimely death deeply affected her family. Prince Leopold was distraught, and the Princess of Wales (who, living on the continent, had not seen her daughter since 1814) reportedly fainted upon hearing the news. Queen Charlotte wrote to the Prince Regent on 7 November stating 'How painful it is for me to take up my pen at this moment when I had flattered myself to make use of it by giving you joy which it has pleased the Almighty to turn to grief a mourning for us all'. The Prince Regent was so grief stricken that he was unable to attend his daughter's funeral. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.

Plummer left England on 1 April 1822 on the transport Prince of Orange, arriving in Tasmania on 23rd. July. In 1835 he married a convict, Rebecca Cull who had arrived on the America in 1831.
