Character, Life, And Times Of His Late Royal. Highness , By The Public Press.
by the newspaper organs of that party , his highest eulogy is pronounced . The hand of death has silenced the tumult of political strife , and the undisputed excellences ofthe illustrious deceased are alone dwelt upon . That in the affair of Lady Augusta Murray he acted with generosity , or even with common propriety , is more than his warmest panegyrists can assert ; but where is the character that is free from imperfections ? He
was public-spirited , benevolent , charitable with limited means , and the advocate of universal charity in society . In fact , the Duke of Sussex was one of the best of his illustrious race , and in this character his death is regarded as a national calamity .
( From the Evangelical'Magazine . ) We have the painful duty devolved upon us of announcing the decease of this truly beloved and patriotic prince . The mournful event took place at Kensington Palace , on Friday , the 21 st April , about noon . His Royal Highness was carried off , in his 71 st year , by an attack of erysipelas . His name will descend to posterity as one of those
consistent politicians who remain firm to the opinions which they espoused in early life . He was a man of mind and extensive reading ; and , under every change of administration , continued the fearless champion of civil and religious liberty .
( From Felix Farley ' s Bristol Journal . ) Although history , and perhaps even biography , in its record oi the Duke of Sussex , will probably dwell most upon intellectual endowments sufficient alone for celebrity , we should improperly , and almost meanly , withhold the brightest gem in the character of the Prince , did we pass in silence the qualities of his heart . A lover by taste , a promoter by
example , he was , in our opinion , even more exalted as a munificent patron of literature and learned men . Of this we might , if delicacy to the living did not restrain , adduce many , and , in some cases , affecting instances . But that which raises higher still the name of the lamented Duke , and proves that kindness was in him a principle as well as impulse , is that beneficence was here extended , not only to persons of
kindred feeling ancl congenial taste , but to human necessity , as far as bis resources could reach . Au affectionate relative , a kind master , a faithful and enlightened friend , are characteristics which , framed upon the model of a royal and now sainted father , shed , in our estimation , the brightest lustre on the character of the departed Prince .
