Volume 3 — DEATH OF THE PRINCESS DOWAGER OF WALES.

Reading edition

Although she had endured much popular clamour, the accusations of her enemies were never satisfactorily substantiated. At all events she appears to have possessed many good qualities. It tends greatly to her honour that she gradually liquidated her husband’s debts out of her own private income.
