to the English throne, was to have a declaration read publicly, which had been prepared in 1784, when Charles was thought to be dying; and a medal struck, with the inscription, "Hen. ix. Ang. Rex," with the addition "Dei Gratia, sed non voluntate hominum." Surely the latter part of this inscription must have sounded as a satire to his ears, and to those of the adherents of his house who still remained. Both Lord Mahon and Mr. Chambers consider the Jacobite party as crushed by the battle of Culloden. The executions on Tower Hill, and the wholesale butchery on Kennington Common, destroyed the strength of the friends of Charles, although Jacobitism existed as a sentiment much later. "But it became identified with the weakness of old age." It was a thing of the past. Tory rectors and country gentlemen were still wont to toast Prince Charles, just as their fathers had toasted the Chevalier St. George. They were vehement in their abuse of the House of Hanover, and in their admiration of the House of Stuart. But we obtain a fair estimate of the value of their good wishes in the case of Dr. Johnson. He confessed to Boswell that "the pleasure of cursing the House of Hanover and drinking King James's health was amply overbalanced by 300l. a year." It appears to me that the writer in Household Words has confounded the lingering sentiment of 1788 (the date of Charles's death) with the active partisanship of 1745. Until he can prove his case against the "exemplary Cardinal," we must consider his statements as overstrained. J. VIRTUE WYNEN.-(Vol. xi. p. 169.) 313 INDEX.
