“On Friday last, an account was received of the marriage of Miss Bingham, eldest daughter of Lord Lucan, (a young lady amiable in every particular, and remarkably well accomplished) To Lord Althorp, the only son and heir to Earl Spencer, a nobleman one of the first fortunes in Great-Britain, and whose character is in every particular equal to his rank and fortune."[1]
