Notes |
(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935) 'Town and Country Magazine', xii. 233. An account of Mrs. Robinson (Perdita) and of George Capel, Viscount Maiden, 1757-1839, Earl of Essex, 1799. 'G.E.C., Complete Peerage'. His lavish proposals, and a pair of diamond ear-rings at the first interview, are said to have overcome the scruples of Mrs. Robinson, after she had rejected many other proposals [Mrs. Robinson mentions in her 'Memoirs' many persons who made proposals to her about this time which she rejected: they include the Duke of Rutland, Lord Lyttelton, the Earl of Pembroke, "a royal Duke", a "lofty Marquis"] Maiden introduced her to the Prince of Wales, see 'Corr. of George III', v. 269.

Licensing edit
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
