NOTE.

I cannot but mention a tablet which I have seen
somewhere in the chapel of Windsor Castle, put
up by the late king to the memory of a family
servant, who had been a faithful attendant of his
lamented daughter, the Princess Amelia. George
III. 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.
