Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Diary Illustrative of the Times of George the Fourth, Vol. 2 of 2: Interspersed With Original Letters From the Late Queen Caroline, and From Various Other Distinguished Persons
I dined at Kensington. Mr. Nugent, Mr. Lut trell, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Ward, and Lord King were of the party. The latter is a very dull man. I never met him here or anywhere else before, that I remember, nor can I conceive why the Princess thought of inviting him. She must have some reason: such as making him useful: for he is neither ornamental nor agreeable. Mr. Ward had on his blue celeste, both as to his coat and his temper, and was certainly very witty and entertaining; and I was very well amused till the conversation veered round to quizzmg Mr. Wil berforce. Lord King began. He said there was a good story about Mr Wilberforce's courtship, and that he had chosen his wife by her manner of passing Easter. Of this they made many jokes, and said the learned disputed much about the precise time when Easter was. In the even ing there was a party; good company, but not much of it; and moreover verv dull.
