Note 136 — LETTER XX.
Reading edition
The Prince John-Christian became Prince Regent of Sultzbach after his Father's Death, but did not long survive him, for he died suddenly July 20, 1733; so that Prince Charles his Son, born December 10, 1724, is now Prince Palatine of Sultzbach, Marquiss of Bergopzoom, and presumptive Heir to the Elector. He is a very forward hopeful Youth. The Elector has sent for him from Brussels to Manheim, notwithstanding the Intreaty of the Duchess d'Aremberg, his Great-Grandmother by the Mother's side, (who had the care of his Education,) that he might be permitted to stay with her. This young Prince's Grandmother is the Princess Dowager d'Auvergne, Sister to the Duke d'Aremberg, one of the toasted Beauties of her Time. She retir'd to a Nunnery, is a Lady of good Learning, and now one of the Heads of the Jansenist Party of Holland.
