was in his person of the middle stature, a thin body, a delicate constitution, subject to an asthma and continual cough from his infancy.

He had an aquiline nose, sparkling eyes, a large forehead, and a grave solemn aspect.

He was very sparing of speech; his conversation was dry, and his manner disgusting, except in battle, when his deportment was free, spirited, and animating.

In courage, fortitude, and equanimity, he rivalled the most eminent warriors of antiquity; and his natural sagacity made amends for the defects in his education, which had not been properly superintended.

He was religious, temperate, generally just and sincere, a stranger to violent transports of passion, and might have passed for one of the best princes of the age in which he lived, had he never ascended the throne of Great Britain.
