GEORGE III. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, In the selection of the subject of this lecture I fear that I lay myself open to your criticism, if not to your censure. At any time, I am fully aware that I must rely on your indulgence and claim your generous sympathy, but on this particular occasion I have to solicit your special forbearance. To render in the space of an hour an adequate ac- count of a life of eighty-two years, and of a reign of sixty, is almost an impossible task, yet I trust that by portraying to you some of the most noteworthy traits of a king who stood out prominently among an illustrious host of contemporaries, and by touching on some of the most conspicuous events of his day, I may not in vain appeal to your interest. In 1760, at the age of twenty-two, George III. succeeded his grandfather as King of Great Britain. The impression which the King made on the public was a most favourable one.
