THAT VALUABLE BOOK.
r Itrn.llnir.
Renders of tho daily Graphic will
remember that a abort time ago an ar
ticle appeared in tlieso oolnmns. the
objeofc of which won to show that the
book for whioh a reward of .Cl,000 line
recently-been offered is the only re
maining oopv of n work published in
London in 17tt0, nnd containing an »n
count of tho marriage of Georgo IV.
to Mrs. Fitxherbort, and of tho issue of
that marriage, who, if living, might
fairly proti nd to tho orown of England.
It in known that such a book wsh pub
lished in that yonr and suppressed an
oompleloly us possible, but. that it must
have contained matter besides the ac
count of tho marriage and issue—mat
ter whioh, in connection wiMi the pob-
Tlm announcement that tho $.'100,000
Ret of diamonds presented by tho kho-
dire of Egypt to Gen. Sherman’s daugh
ter had been removed to tho sub-trous
ury, had uo purcoptiblo ( fleet on tho
throng < f onrioua people who have au-
noyed Deputy Collector Lvdccker dur
ing tho past three days with appeals for
"just ono look" lit them. They bo-
siegod tho collector’s office in snob num
bers and were so aggravatingly persist
ent that Mr. Lydeoker was compelled,
at an early hour, to order the door to be
locked. No description yet published
of it has been entirely correct. Eight
immense round atones, surrounded by
smaller ones, are linkod together at
equal distances by two rows of small
HtoneB, four of the links containing
twenty stones each, and four others
sixteen stones each. Another row of
iminll diamonds is fnetoned in flvo fes
toons to the lower row of tho front links,
at equidistant intervals from eaoh of the
large diamonds. From each point of
contnot bungs an immense pear-shaped
diamond, surrounded by smaller dia
monds, the fastening being of filagree
gold work, dotted with still smaller
diamonds. There nro nevon of tlieso
pendants. On each sido of tho oentre
pendant, and hotweon the fostoon and
tho lower row of tho main link, is a
largo medallion of filagree gold work,
stnddod with large and small diamonds.
The central one of these on the left
medallion, a stone of about fonr carats,
is pronounced by experts to bo the best
stone iu tho oolleatfon on acconnt of its
exquisite pnrity and brilliuucy. The
diamonds are sp arranged that they
gradually increase in size from the back
toward the front, exoept in the festoons,
in oooli of whi?h the largest diamond is
in tho center, the others graduating up
ward toward tho point of fastening.
The link, festoon, and surrounding dia
monds range from one to four carats in
bi’zc. The large round stone iu frout ia
five eights of an inch ia diameter, and
tho others are hut Mttle smaller. Bo
much for the necklace. The tipper part
of each ear-ring is oomposed of two
solitaire stones, of four and six carats
respectively, one above tfce other, tho
lioition of the "Grovillo Memoirs,
that part of them whioh was not pub
lished, might do serious damage to tlio
present royal family—is evident from a
number of considerations, In tho first
place, that marriage has practically
been recognized by tho English govern
ment. Mrs. Fitzherbort having ro-
ooived a pension during her lifetime,
whioh was continued to her son, who is
now, und for a umubor of years has
boon, a resident of thin oitv, in which
ho is n musician in one of the tho-
Wter .orchestras. Tip bears a otriking
roserablunoo to GctugB* IT:, fiM htii
exalted birth lias long boon known to a
few of bin friends. Marin Fitzlierberj.
was born in July, 1750, of an old Oath-
olio family of Hutupshire, and wm>
mnrricd Huooessivoly to El ward AVcld,
df Doroot, and Thomas Fitzherbort, of
Hbatlord, being left a widow a second
lime In 17H1. Four yoars afterwards
Georgo IV., thon prince of Wales, and
“the first, gcnllomnu of Europe," first
iw her, and in December, 1785* they
..era privately married by n clergyman
of thn Edabiished Ohnroh in the pres
ence of witnoEsus. This union was-oot.
legally valid, for the English lawn pro
hibits a marriage between a subj’.ot and
a prilieo of the blood royal, Tlio king
subsequently married Q men Caroline,
quarreled with her, and returnod to
Mrs. Fitzherbort. His excesses com
pelled her to loavo him, and she retired
to Brighton, where she outlived both
Georgo IV. und his succoaBor, receiving
a largo pension froty tho government..
Buoli is the account, given in "Tlio
American Oyohq mlin" nnd in her
"Memoirs," liy I ho Hon. Charles Lang-
dole (Londf)n, ami tho continu
ation of purt of the mother’s pension to
tho son iu proof thut. the present gov
ernment reoognizfo tho validity of his
claims ns, ot loust, a sou by a morgauio
mnrringo.
But how does this argue with tho in
ference from tho " History of tho Fitz-
herbort Letters," whioh was published
a few yoars ago by Bnntloy ? According
to this book, Mrs. FUzhcrbert confided
to her executors—the Duko of Welling
ton, Lord Albemarle and nnothor—a
scaled packet, whioh was by them de
posited in Ooutts' panic, and wns to re
main unopened unler-H her character
should bo unsailfd, when it was to be
opened nnd publiahed in vindication of
♦ ho purity of her relations with Grargo
IV. Those relations worn very well
known, and the foot that, after tho vio
lent H’tacK on tho character of Mrs.
Fitzhorbcrt wan mndo in tho Edinburgh
iiuvu-w, tno packet was not allowed to
bi* published, bIjoyr that it contained
o'her documents than tlm marriage cer
tificate whioh it would not do for the
reigning family to have brought to
light. Tho " History of tho Fiizherbert
Lottpis" shows vory plainly thut power
ful and royal influences woro used in
suppressing tho faoln, and tho govern
ment nt, onoo onmo down in a very em
phatic manner upon tho Publisher nnd
upon tho hook, of whioh, however,
there is at least ono copy now in this
city.
Therefore it seems impossible that
the Inst book for which tho largo sum of
£1,000 is now offered und tho packet
deposited iu Coutts’ bank merely con
tain a detailed account of tlio marriage
of Georgo IV. with Mrs. Fiizherbert,
unless, indeed, tho legal showing of a
fact which, though well known, bad
never been proved in court, be dreaded.
Aud yet, with un all-powerful parlia
ment, whioh may change tlio succession
nt will, what, harm could come fiom its
establishment? During Queen Caro
line's trial for adultery publio opinion
wns so strongly in her favor that the
government abandoned the prosecution,
und populur opinion, expressed in par
liament, is tlie British constitution.
Lord Brongham wus tho queen’s coun
sel, and at tho trial ho hinted, in a way
not to he misunderstood, that if the
ohnrgo was pressed tho defense could
and wonld provo tho liing'n marringe
with Mrs. Fiizherbert, which by the
law would huvo excluded him from tho
throuo. This was then not to bo
thought of. lint how would such proof
bo of sorvioo or harm to anybody now?
In no oonoeivablo way. The case then
stands thus: Tho marriage, though
not legally valid, is well-known to havo
been celebrated; the marriage has
novor beon logally established, but
should it now bo legally established no
harm oonld oomo from it. It follows
that tho lost book contains something
more than has commonly boon stippoeod,
and something that, if generally known,
would work very serious injury to Home
body—somo family or eomo intereHt
that oan afford to pa^ largely for
