This two-volume Autobiography by Cornelia Knight (1757-1837) was
published in 1861. It was complied by the military historian Sir
John Kaye from her journals and a memoir based on them, written
late in life and remaining incomplete at her death. Cornelia
Knight, the daughter of an admiral, was highly educated: she knew
ten languages, was skilled at painting and drawing, and published
novels and poetry. In 1813 she was appointed to the household of
Princess Charlotte of Wales. In 1814, the Prince Regent dismissed
all his daughter's attendants, and Knight returned to a life of
literature and European travel. Volume 1 covers her childhood, time
spent in Italy with Sir William and Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson,
her appointment as companion to Princess Charlotte, the princess's
refusal, in 1814, to marry the Prince of Orange, and the subsequent
events which led to Knight's dismissal.

account of her dismissal, and a later meeting with the Princess,
now happily married (though she was shortly to die in childbirth).
Knight spent another twenty years in the court circles of Europe:
an appendix gives further extracts from her journals and her
'anecdote book'.
