[105] July 1, 1754. Browne, iv. 122.
[106] Mr. Ewald’s dates, as to the Prince’s English jaunt, are wrong. He has adopted those concerning the lady’s movements, ii. 201.
[107] Charles himself (S. P. Tuscany, December 16, 1783) told these facts. But Hume is responsible for the visit to Lady Primrose, dating it in 1753; wrongly, I think.
[108] Private Memorandum concerning the Pretender’s eldest son. Brit. Mus. Additional MSS.
[110] A medal of 1750 bears a profile of Charles, as does one of September 1752.
[111] This may be of 1752–1753, and the ‘Channoine’ may be Miss Walkinshaw, who was a canoness of a noble order.
[113] Montesquieu to the Abbé de Guasco, March 7, 1749.
[118] The sequel of the chivalrous attempt to catch Keith’s mistress may he found in letters of Newcastle to Colonel Guy Dickens (February 12, 1751), and of Dickens (St. Petersburg, March 27, 30, May 4, 1751) to the Duke of Newcastle. (State Papers.)
[119] Correspondence of the Duke of Bedford, ii. 69.
[125] Letters, ii. 116.
