The late Duke of Richmond, K.G. - from a photography by Maull and Polyblank, 1860. The Duke of Richmond succeeded to the family honours on the 28th of August, 1819, on the death of his father, who died, while he was Governor-General in Canada, from the effects of the bite of a dog. The Duke had entered the British Army early in life as an Ensign in the 52nd Regiment...He was severely wounded in his chest by a musket-ball at the battle of Orthes. He was afterwards Aide-de-Camp to the Prince of Orange, and was with him at the battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo...In politics his Grace was a supporter of the Earl of Derby and the Conservative party, and was a determined opponent to the repeal of the Com Law...He was a zealous agriculturist, and was one of the founders of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, of which society he was a trustee. He was also a princely supporter of the turf, the annual races at Goodwood Park affording scope for the display of his manly sporting taste and his generous hospitality'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
