Perhaps George III. had nothing to do with literature; but his accession immediately preceded, and may even, as the beginning of a pure English régime, have done something to produce, numerous appearances of the Romantic revival Percy's Reliques, Hurd's Essays, Macpherson's Ossian, The Castle of Otranto, and others.
