FOOTNOTES.
{40} These are pre-war (1914–18) prices.
{117} He was baptised in the church of St. Bride, Fleet Street, according to a discovery more recently made; and he would thus appear really to have been a Londoner.
{165} Tokens in imitation of the old guineas, which bore on their reverse the George and Dragon device now used on our modern sovereigns. The token represented the king on horseback (the Hanoverian White Horse), with the legend “To Hanover.”
