CAMEO
XLV.

Extinction of the Stuarts.

1819.

"Jacobo III., Jacobi Magn. Brit. Regis filio
Carolo Eduardo et Henrico decano
Patrum Cardinalium, Jacobi III. filiis,
Regia Stirpis Stuardia Postremis,
Anno MDCCCXIX.

Beati Mortui qui in Domino Moriuntur."

It was only after this that, among the staunchest Jacobites, coughing ceased at the mention of King George in the Prayers, and the charming songs could no longer be sung with more than a dreamy sense of loyalty.

The direct heirship of the elder line of Stuarts passed through Henrietta, Duchess of Orleans, to her daughter, the Duchess of Savoy, and thence, through several Dukes, to the House of Modena. The wife of the Prince Regent of Bavaria at present represents the Stuart dynasty.
