| Evidence: | From John Wilson Croker's Note Book:
'On the 25th November 1825, I went by His Majesty's invitation to dine and sleep at the Royal
Lodge in Windsor Park. His Majesty had intended to have shown me the plantations and
improvements made during the autumn, but it snowed heavily in the night, and next morning
the weather was so exceedingly bad that there was no possibility of stirring out, and His
Majesty admitted me to his dressing-room, and conversed with me for a considerable time --
indeed all the morning. Mr. Moore's "Life of Sheridan" was lying on the table, and in allusion to
the variety of misstatements made in that work with regard to His Majesty's conduct, he took
up the book to point out to me particularly some of these errors.' |
