In numerous warrants, providing for the expenses of his household, between 1634 and 1644, he is styled 'Prince Charles' only; and one of them, in Nov. 1 641, is addressed to the Receiver of the King's Revenue as Prince of Wales. In the Prince's subsequent communications with the Pari., in 1645-6, he is styled Prince of Wales. In a frontispiece annexed to a collection of ordinances and declarations in Pari., published in 1646 by order of Pari., he is represented as sitting in Pari., on the right of the King his Father."
