Excerpt from A History of the Four Georges, Vol. 2 of 4 While this volume was passing through the press, The English Historical Review published an inter esting article by Professor J. K. Laughton on the subject of J enkins's Ear. Professor Laughton, while lately making some researches in the Admiralty records, came on certain correspondence which ap pears to have escaped notice up to that time, and he regards it as incidentally confirming the story of Jenkins's Ear, 'which for certainly more than a hun dred years has generally been believed to be a fable.' The correspondence, in my opinion, leaves the story exactly as it found it. We only learn from it that Jenkins made a complaint about his ear to the English naval commander at Port Royal, who re ceived the tale with a certain incredulity, but never theless sent formal report of it to the Admiralty and addressed a remonstrance to the Spanish authorities.

Excerpt from A History of the Four Georges and of William IV, Vol. 3 of 4 For six and forty years England had been ruled by German princes. One Elector of Hanover named George had been succeeded by another Elector of Hanover named George, and George the First and George the Second, George the father and George the son, resembled each other in being by nature German rather than English, and by inclination Electors of Hanover rather than Kings of England. Against each of them a Stuart prince had raised a standard and an army. George the First had his James Francis Edward, who called himself James the Third, and whom his opponents called the Pretender, by a translation which gave an injurious signification to the French word "pretendant." George the Second had his Charles Edward, the Young Pretender who a generation later led an invading army well into England before he had to turn and fly for his life. A very different condition of things awaited the successor of George the Second. George the Second's grandson was an English prince and an Englishman. He was born in England; his father was born in England; his native tongue was the English tongue; and if he was Elector of Hanover, that seemed an accident.

Excerpt from Memoirs of George the Fourth, Vol. 2 It is said that in one of the royal cabinets on the Continent, the names of all the patriot kings or demi-gods, who have reigned since the commencement of history, are written in the circumference of a Silver penny, and that there is still a vacancy for more. Although George IV. Will not find a place there, we have some hope that the next will be William IV. Of England.
