His grateful sense of
The faithful service
And attachment of

An amiable young woman

To his beloved daughter,

Whom she survived only three months;
She died the 19th of February, 1811,
Aged 31 years.

Washington Irving, an American by birth, upon seeing this memorial, remarked, “The king possessed much of the strong, domestic feeling of the old English country gentleman, and it is an incident curious in monumental history, and creditable to the human heart, a monarch erecting a monument in honour of the humble virtues of a menial."

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

Ar page 30, line 4 from bottom, for Bishop Ely, read Bishop of Ely.

At page 22, Westminster Hall is stated to have been built in 1097; and, at page 33, the Hall is said to have been removed and rebuilt by Richard II. in 1397. To correct this discrepancy, it should be stated that, although William Rufus founded Westminster Hall, in 1097, it was so enlarged by Richard II. in 1397, as to be commonly referred to as a magnificent specimen of the architecture of the latter period.

Since the Sections "Almanacks" and " Newspapers" were printed, the duty upon almanacks has been repealed, and the duty upon advertisements reduced to 1s. 6d. each.-See pages 108 and 112.

Page 164, in the middle line, read one farthing each.
