Wilkes And A Liberty
SO ungrateful was the sound of Wilkes and No. 45 (the famous number of
the North Briton) to George III., that about 1772, George IV., then a
mere boy, having been chid for some fault, and wishing to take his
boyish revenge, stole to the king's apartment, and shouting at the door,
Wilkes and No. 45 for ever! ran away.
