London: Kelly, 1821. Likewise a faithful account of her Majesty's illness, last sayings, lamented death, funeral possession, &c. &c. in two volumes embellished with 16 elegant engravings. The is a married set, one volume is bound in full calf (worn along the hinges) and the other is bound in leather backed boards, also some rubbed along the hinges. Little foxed, but a good tight set. [Amelia Elizabeth] Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821) was wife of George IV. She was forced on the King by George III and was persecuted by George's mistresses and deserted by her husband after the birth of Charlotte Augusta (1796). She was censured for the improprieties of unguarded speech and travelled on the Continent until George III's death. She later refused a settlement offer, because she was asked to renounce the title of Queen. She gained popular support and was able to secure the abandonment of a bill that would have forced her divorce based on reports of her adultury with an Italian nobleman Bergami. She was forcibly excluded from Westminster on coronation day.
