_Prayer for the Recovery of George III._--In 1815, when I first went to
school, one of my schoolfellows had (I think in manuscript in the fly-leaf
of his Prayer-Book) a prayer for the king's recovery, of which I remember
only two detached portions:--"Restore, we implore Thee, our beloved
sovereign to his family and his people"--"and whether it shall seem fit to
Thine unerring wisdom, presently to remove from us this great calamity, or
still to suspend it over us, dispose us, under every dispensation of Thy
Providence, patiently to adore Thine inscrutable goodness." The rest I
forget. Can any of your correspondents supply the remainder of the prayer;
or tell me where it is to be found, or who was the author?
