Sinossi
Excerpt from London and Middlesex, or an Historical, Commercial, and Descriptive Survey of the Metropolis of Great-Britain, Vol. 3: Including Sketches of Its Environs, and a Topographical Account of the Most Remarkable Places in the Above County
The City about this time received an augmentation of its numerous commercial facilities in the opening-of the navigation of the Canal from the River Thames to the town of Croydon, in Surrey., The death of an eminent statesman, in the person of the Duke of Portland, was among the memorable events of the present year. His Grace, who from illness had resigned his seat in the Cabinet but a few days before, died, at burlington-house, Picca~ dilly, in the 71st year of his age. Though the Duke had for many years deserted the party he was attached to, it was his fortune to be tenderly spoken of even by his former friends. On Monday, Nov. 6, his Grace's funeral took place the St. J ames's Volan teers mustered in St. James's Square, and afterwards formed a part of the procession on this solemn occasion. At eleven in the forenoon the cavalcade set out, and proceeded up bond-street on its way to St. Mary-le-bone Church~yard, where the Duchess of Portland lies interred in a magnificent family vault. The hearse was richly emblazoned with heraldic ornaments, and drawn by six horses, followed by several state-carriages and mourning coaches. The coffin was covered with a rich Genoa crimson vel vet, decorated with silver gilt nails and cecutcheons. On the plate was inscribed, The Most Noble William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, Duke of Portland, died October the 30th, 1809, aged 71 years. As Chancellor of Oxford, his Grace was succeeded by Lord Grenville.
