Note 22 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
The Duke of York’s behaviour is incomparable; he is their great and only comfort and support at the Queen’s house, and without his manly mind and advice neither the Queen nor Princesses would be able to bear up under their present distress.—Diaries and Correspondence, p. 20, v. 4.
It is pleasing to find in persons so entirely different in every respect a corresponding testimony to the merits of an excellent prince.
