PORTRAIT BY DIGHTON (9 th S. viii. 163). Richard Dighton (1752-1814) was a celebrated artist and caricaturist. Lists of his works will be found in 'N. & Q.,' 3 rd S. ix., x. ; 5 th S. iii., iv. The British Museum also possesses ' A Collection of Caricatures ' by Richard Dighton and others, 12 vols. folio, 1734-1844, which contains many army uniforms. From these works your correspondent may be able to identify the portrait in his possession.

MISTAKES OF AUTHORS (9 th S. viii. 181). I think the exclamation "What the Dickens!" can hardly be taken as a sign of modernity. It is used, I know, by Shakespeare, and pro- bably by previous writers. Dickens, prefixed with a small c=d evil kins, or small devils. Does the capital D synchronize with the period when Charles Dickens first became known to fame as a novelist ?

ROYAL PERSONAGES (9 th S. viii. 184). I can answer some only of the queries. The Duke of Kent was buried in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, on 11 February, 1820. Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, died at Herrenhausen, and was buried at Hanover, 26 November, 1851. His son, the Duke of Cumberland, was buried

Dean Stanley, in his * Memorials of West- minster Abbey,' says that George III.'s

two youngest children, Alfred and Octavius, had been laid on each side of George II. and Queen Caroline (viz., in centre of Henry VII. 's Chapel at Westminster) ; but their remains were removed to the vault constructed by their father under the Wolsey Chapel at Windsor."

And in a note he adds :

"The King of Hanover, the Queen of Wiirtem- berg, the Princess Elizabeth of Hesse-Homburg, were buried in their own vaults in Germany ; the Duke of Sussex in Kensal Green, and the Duchess of Gloucester in the south aisle in Windsor."

Edward, Duke of Kent, who died at Sidmouth a few days before his father in January, 1820, has a memorial at west end of south aisle of nave in St. George's Chapel. The ' D.N.B.' gives the names of the children of the Duke of Sussex as Sir Augustus Frederick d'Este (1794-1848) and Augusta Emma d'Este (married 14 August, 1845), and of George III.'s sisters as Augusta (1737 - 1813), wife of Charles William Ferdinand, hereditary Prince of Brunswick - Wolfenbiittel, and Caroline Matilda (1751-75), wife of Christian VII. of Denmark.
