Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Four Georges and of William IV, Vol. 3 of 4
England before he had to turn and ?y 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. The title was as unimportant and trivial to the King of England as his title of King of France was unreal and theatrical. The remnant of the Jacobites could not with truth call the heir to the throne a foreigner, and they could not in reason hope to make such a demonstration in arms against him as they had made against his grandfather and his great - grandfather. The young King came to a much safer throne under much more favourable auspices than either of the two monarchs, his kinsmen and his namesakes, who had gone before him.
