註釋
"Kildare set sail from Dover on a fine summer's day, 4 July 1766. When he returned in 1769 his mother had received a letter from Count Charles Bentinck in The Hague, describing Kildare as follows: 'I can truly venture to say that I never saw a man of his age, nor several years older, that had travelled with as much judgement and attention, nor that seemed so much improved by seeing the world; which to me is a proof of his good nature as well as good sense.'" "The Duchess must have been satisfied the small fortune spent on her son's travel was not wasted. Throughout the rest of her life she treasured his letters."--BOOK JACKET.
