 "to his dear wife, Elizabeth Angelo," and he styles himself "Domenico Angelo Tremamondo, of Carlisle Street, Soho." The affidavit was made by George Frederick Angelo Tremamondo, of his Royal Highness the Duke of York's office, Horse Guards, the natural and lawful grandson, which George Frederick was the eldest son of Henry Angelo, the author of this book, who finds no mention in his father's will. His widow, letting her house in Carlisle Street, soon after moved to Rathbone Place, quite close by, to the north of Soho Square, and there in Upper Charlotte Street, within a stone's throw of the house of Anthony Angelo, the once beautiful and genial hostess of Carlisle House breathed her last, on January 11th, 1805. In her will, which bears date July 13th, 1802, and in which she styles herself Elizabeth Angelo Tremamondo, of Eton, Bucks, and Carlisle Street, Soho, no mention again is found of her son Henry Angelo, an omission eloquent of Henry's behaviour to his parents in their declining years.

Of Domenick's brothers, John Xavier opened a manège in Edinburgh, which in 1776 received a royal charter. He taught fencing as well as riding. He left no issue, his daughter, by Marie Francoise Justine Dubourg, who was painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1759, having pre-deceased him. He died at Edinburgh on March 16th, 1805, at the age of 84. Leonard, Domenick's third brother, seems to have been a man of but little ambition. He was content to spend his life at the Soho establishment, assisting his brother in both riding and fencing, but I have found no record of his family or of the place and date of his death.

Domenick Angelo's picture was painted several times, once at least by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and once by Sir William
