John Wilson Croker to John Murray, 18 July 1821: 'Ramsgate is still empty and dull; our good weather fled with the pomp of the Coronation.... Blessings on the Queen! I see by this morning's paper that she is determined to make a part of the show. But her day is gone by, and there wanted but this last part of her farce to finish her character [following her trial for adultery and estrangement from husband] with the few respectable people that yet cling to her.'
