Character, Life, And Times Of His Late Royal. Highness , By The Public Press.
confidence so long as your conduct and duty to her Majesty corresponds with my expectations , but no longer . "
( From the Glasgow Chronicle . ) The public and private virtues of the deceased Prince—virtues which would have merited , and secured , affectionate admiration in a much less exalted station , will cause his removal from the stage of life to be regarded with unaffected and general sorrow . Among the members of royal families , there are so few who rise superior to the temptation of

develope , in a way which is not at present dreamt of , the obligation under which this nation lies to the Duke of Sussex , as the instructor of his Royal niece in the obligations that are connected with the splendid seat she occupies , and preparing her for acting the part of a constitutional Sovereign in emergencies more urgent and trying than any in which it has yet been her lot to be placed .
