The author attempts to dispel the inaccuracies and fallacies surrounding the life of this King, who was considered by many previous authors to be a �������bad King.������� Whatever his private faults and public mistakes, George IV never possessed the Satanic genius to be a consistent rogue and reveler, nor did he wreck the State committed to him.
