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, Vol. 1 of 4 While Anne lies on that which is soon to be her death-bed, let us take a glance at the rival claimants of her crown and the leading English statesmen who were partizans on this side or on that, or who were still hesitating about the side it would be on the whole most prudent and profitable to choose.

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 A History of the Four Georges and of William IV, Vol. 4 of 4 George was too unwell to stand by his father's bedside when the poor Old King was passing, at last, out of that life which had so long been one of utter darkness to him. George, the son, had taken cold in his beloved pavilion at Brighton, and the cold soon developed into an illness so serious that for some days it was believed the new King was destined to succeed his father in the grave almost as soon as he had succeeded him in the sovereignty. George's life of excesses had not, however, completely worn out the fine constitution with which Nature had originally endowed him, and despite the kind of medical treatment favoured at that time, the old familiar panacea, which consisted mainly in incessant bleeding, the King recovered. He was soon able to receive the Official addresses of loyalty, to despatch to Louis the Eighteenth and other European sovereigns his formal announcement of the fact that he had succeeded to the throne, his formal expressions of grief at the loss Of his beloved father, and his formal assurances of his resolve to do all he could to maintain harmonious relations with the rulers Of foreign States. He retained the ministers whom he had found in office, and who were, of course, his own ministers. Lord Liverpool was Prime Minister, Lord Eldon was Lord Chancellor, Lord Palmerston was one of the younger members of the Adminis tration.
