His Royal Highnefs was attended till hia Uft 

 moments by Dr. Vaughan, Dr. Baillie, and 

 two other phyficians of the firft eminence, 

 v^ho fent oft" an exprefs to acquaint his IVla- 

 jefty with the melancholy event. In confe- 

 quence of the death of his Royal Highnefs, 

 all tlie different places of amufement have, 

 according to the etiquette on fuch melancholy 

 occafions, difcontinued their entertainmenti. 

 As foon as the funeral has taken place, there 

 will alfo be a general mourning for the lofs 

 «f this very near branch of the Royal Family. 

 The Duke through life " boie his faculties fo 

 meekly," that his biographer has little to 

 notice but the enumeration of all the domef- 

 tic virtues which united form an amiable 

 charafter. He was a moft afleftionate father 

 Jind a kind mafter ; nor did he in any one in- 

 flance of his life omit to (hew tlie fincereft 

 attachment to his brother and fovereign.^ 

 Aloof from all the fordid occurrences of life, 

 and unfullied by the intercourfe of political 

 faflion, he kept the even tenor of his way, 

 benevolent without oftentation, and affable 

 though dignified. The Duke's conftitution 

 was naturally very delicate; fo that at an 

 early period of life he was obliged to leave 

 his native country for the milder air of Italy, 

 and refided forfeveral years at Rome, where, 

 as has already been obferved. Prince Wil- 

 liam, now Duke of Gloucester, was born.— 

 Although latterly he was fufficiently reco- 

 vered to be able to bear tlie climate of Eng- 

 land, yet his heahh was always in a very 

 precarious ftate, and he fcarcely knew for 

 many years a day's uninterrupted enjoyment 

 of tliat invaluable blefling.
