Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... First Visit To Scotland. On Board the Royal George Yacht, ) Monday, August 29,1842. ) At five o'clock in the morning we left Windsor for the railroad, the Duchess of Norfolk, Miss Matilda Paget, General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, and Mr. Anson following us. Lord Liverpool, Lord Morton, and Sir James Clark, who also accompany us, had already gone on to Woolwich. We reached London at a quarter to six, got into our carriages, and arrived at Woolwich before seven. Albert and I immediately stepped into our barge. There was a large crowd to see us embark. The Duke of Cambridge, Lord Jersey, Lord Haddington, Lord Bloomfield, and Sir George Cockburn were present in full uniform. Sir George handed me into the barge.

The sloop "Daphne," 18 guns --(both of which join us at the Nore). 3. The steam vessel " Salamander" (with the carriages on board). 4. The steam vessel " Rhadamanthus" (Lord Liverpool and Lord Morton on board). 5. The steam vessel " Monkey" Tender, which has towed us till nine o'clock (Mr. Anson and the equerries on board). 6. The steam vessel "Shearwater," which is now towing us (Sir James Clark on board). 7. The steam vessel " Black Eagle" (which has the ladies on board, and which tows us in front of the " Shearwater"). 8. The steam vessel "Lightning" (with the Jager Benda, and our two dogs," Eos" and " Cairnach," on board) in front, which has gone to take our barge on board from the " Pique." 9. The steam vessel" Fearless" (for survey). This composes our squadron, besides which the Trinity-House steamer goes with us, and also a packet. Innumerable little pleasure steam-boats...
