kinship in the act of George III., who bestowed upon the prince an
annual pension of four thousand pounds. It showed most plainly that
England was now consolidated under Hanoverian rule.

When Cardinal York died, in 1807, there was no Stuart left in the male
line; and the countess was the last to bear the royal Scottish name of
Albany.

After the prince's death his widow is said to have been married to
Alfieri, and for the rest of her life she lived in Florence, though
Alfieri died nearly twenty-one years before her.

Here we have seen a part of the romance which attaches itself to the
name of Stuart--in the chivalrous young prince, leading his Highlanders
against the bayonets of the British, lolling idly among the Hebrides,
or fallen, at the last, to be a drunkard and the husband of an
unwilling consort, who in her turn loved a famous poet. But it is this
Stuart, after all, of whom we think when we hear the bagpipes skirling
"Over the Water to Charlie" or "Wha'll be King but Charlie?"
