	George IV of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George was a stubborn monarch, often interfering in politics, especially in the matter of Catholic Emancipation, though not as much as his father.
		The King, a political conservative, was also alienated by the Prince of Wales's adherence to Charles James Fox and other radically-inclined politicians.
		Fitzherbert believed that she was the Prince of Wales's canonical and true wife, holding the law of the Church to be superior to the law of the State.

	Late Georgian and Victorian Chester: Footnotes
		Although both were modern institutions of local government, and although Chester was relatively early among provincial towns in acquiring them, neither marked a radical departure, not least because their memberships overlapped with that of the Assembly, though members of the corporation apparently took little part in the affairs of the board of guardians.
		The 1762 Improvement Act also set up an improvement or police commission for Chester, made up of the mayor, recorder, J.P.s, and six inhabitants from each ward, the last elected by owners and occupiers whose property was rated as worth at least £10 a year.
		The Independents' political headquarters in Chester from 1784 were at the Royal Hotel in Eastgate Street, but they were forced from there in 1815 when Earl Grosvenor bought it, and from 1818 used the Albion Hotel in Lower Bridge Street.

	Late Georgian and Victorian Chester 1762-1914: Politics, 1835-1914 \| British History Online
		Even in the heightened party politics of the period after 1880 only about half of ward elections were contested, either because one party was impregnably dominant or because the parties tacitly or openly agreed to divide the representation.
		The Whig caucus excluded the Radical wing of the Liberal party, but Radical politics in Chester were galvanized by the arrival of Enoch Salisbury in connexion with the new gas company in the early 1850s.
		Chester was the sort of town 'rich in strong-minded, single, and affluent ladies' who pioneered women's involvement in local politics in the late 19th century.

	Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on Censorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Sanitization (removal) and whitewashing are almost interchangeable terms that refer to a particular form of censorship via omission, which seeks to "clean up" the portrayal of particular issues and/or facts that are already known, but that may be in conflict with the point of view of the censor.
		Some may consider extreme political correctness to be related, as a socially-imposed (rather than governmentally imposed) type of restriction, which, if taken to extremes, may qualify as self-censorship.
		The word "sanitization" is a euphemism commonly used in the political context of propaganda to refer to the doctoring of information that might otherwise be perceived as incriminating, self-contradictory, controversial, or damaging.
