After the death of his venerable mother, the Duchess of Cambridge, her house on Kew Green passed into the Duke's hands; but he never occupied it for any length of time, and it is now understood to have reverted to the Crown. The Duke succeeded his father in the year 1850 as Ranger of Hyde, St. James's, and Green Parks, and was appointed Ranger of Richmond Park in succession to the Duchess of Gloucester. It appears probable that these offices will fall into abeyance, no successor having hitherto been appointed, and an announcement having already been made public that His Majesty has directed that game shall no longer be preserved in Richmond Park. Books '--Reprints of FitzGerald-' Yorkshire Notes and Notes. THE LATE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. THE death of the Duke of Cambridge ought not to be passed over unrecorded in the pages of N. & Q.,' for with him has vanished not merely a popular prince and a genial personality, known at least by sight to most Londoners, but practically the last survivor of the Court circle prior to the accession of Queen Victoria. Although no fewer than fifteen children were born to George III. and Queen Charlotte, it is a remarkable fact that they had only two grandsons of royal birth, viz., the late King George V. of Hanover, and the subject of this note. From 1813 to 1837 Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, governed Hanover as viceroy on behalf of his father and two eldest brothers in succession; and when William IV. mounted the throne he and Queen Adelaide goodnaturedly undertook the guardianship of their nephew George of Cambridge, in order that he might receive the advantages of an English education during his parents' enforced residence in Germany. Thus it came about that, though born at Hanover, the late Duke of Cambridge became a typical Britisher: in his fine proportions and burly The late Duke owned a considerable private estate at Coombe, near Kingston, which he apparently inherited from his father, and the pleasant woodland scenery in that neighbourhood is likely to disappear eventually before the ruthless attacks of bricks and mortar. The interesting objects of art, the inheritance or collection of the Duchess of Gloucester and of the first Duke of Cambridge, have now been scattered to the four winds under the auctioneer's hammer.
