TEE BEE has, by his Queries about Sir W. Hamilton, recalled some most
painful reminiscences connected with our great naval hero. According to
the statement in the _New General Biographical Dictionary_, Sir William
Hamilton was married to _his first wife_ in the year 1755; but although
it is asserted that she brought her husband 5000l. a-year, her name is
not given. She died in 1782, and in 1791 "he married Emma Harte, the
fascinating, mischievous, and worthless Lady Hamilton." Pettigrew, in
his _Memoirs of Nelson_, says, that this marriage took place at St.
George's, Hanover Square, _on the 6th of September_, 1791. TEE BEE will
find a full account of Lady H. in the above-mentioned work of Pettigrew.
