The 10th Light Dragoons (now the 10th Hussars) were frequently reviewed by George III. in company with the Prince of Wales, who entered the army as brevet-colonel, November 19th, 1782, and after whom the regiment was called "The Prince of Wales's Own," on Michaelmas Day, 1783. In 1793 he was appointed colonel-commandant of the corps, and succeeded as colonel on July 18th, 1796. The review commemorated here took place not long after that date, for the picture is mentioned in a biographical sketch of Sir William Beechey in _The London Monthly Mirror_ for July, 1798, where we are told that the King rewarded him for it with the honour of knighthood. The names of the officers were derived from an account of a review, which took place in 1799, and which this picture was formerly supposed to represent; it is therefore doubtful whether they are quite correct. (See _Notes and Queries_.) This picture is regarded as Beechey's masterpiece, and was very much admired at the time. But "although a clever and showy group of portraits, it has little of real nature, and is full of the painter's artifices. Thus the King's white horse forms the principal light, and comes off the Prince of Wales's dark horse, and so on; the light and shadow of all the heads being the light and shadow of the studio, and not of the field."--(Redgrave's _Century of Painters_.) The King had several copies taken of it; in one, which he gave to Lord Sidmouth, the figure of the Prince was omitted by the King's own desire, a curious proof of his dislike of his son. When the Prince became King he hinted that it should be restored, but this was evaded. Benjamin Smith engraved the portrait of George III. from this picture. =King's Privy Chamber.= Although this room formed part of the state apartments built by Kent, it was much transformed in the reign of George III., so that it bears little trace of its original decoration. Indeed, it is so commonplace in appearance, that, except for the pictures which now hang on its walls, it looks more like an ordinary bedroom in an old-fashioned country inn than a king's chamber in a palace. The plain deal dado, the common chimney-piece of black veined marble, the wood and plaster cornice, the shutters and windows, are all of the most ordinary and inartistic pattern. The dimensions of this room are 31 feet long, 24 feet wide, and 17 feet high. =Portraits of the Time of George III.= 90 Portrait of Francis, 5th Duke of Bedford (_961_) . . . . . J. HOPPNER.
