Brougham, who was inclined to make assertion of her right to be present, and to go even further, if that were necessary. She made, however, greater sacrifices than that of refraining from appearing at court on a gala-day. Her finances had become embarrassed, in spite of the presence of a controlling treasurer ; and her friends made application to Parliament on her behalf. The regent had caused it to be understood that he did not wish to curtail her personal comforts, or cause her any pecuniary ...embarrassment, and Lord Castlereagh came down to the House with a proposition of settling on her 50, 000 per annum. Of her own will she surrendered . 15, 000 of this sum, and it was agreed that the revenue of 35, 000 per annum should be awarded to the " Princess of Wales. " The sacrifice made by the princess was gracefully noticed in the House, by Mr. Whitbread, at whose suggestion it is said to have been cordially entered into, the princess having, as he said, a full sense of the burthens that lay heavy on the nation, Such conduct ought to CAROLINE OF BRUNSWICK 251 have won for her a little regard, and a visit from that King of Prussia, in defence of whose dominions her father had, not long before, laid down his life, a stout old soldier, dying in his harness, like a knight of the olden time.
