Gentleman's Magazine 1822 part 2 p.33
MRS. OLIVIA WILMOT SERRES, Soi-disante Princess of Cumberland. THIS Lady having recently excited considerable attention, owing to her aspiring pretensions, we propose to devote a few pages to the subject of her claims. We feel more induced to notice this illustrious Lady, on account of her being an occasional Correspondent of ours. We have been frequently favoured with her productions both in prose and verse; but from motives of delicacy we abstained, at the time of its receipt, from the publication of a paper, containing some extraordinary statements. This paper we have accidentally found among our bundles of postponed letters. On re-perusal, we consider it, at this time, a document so important (if true) to the cause of the soi-disante Princess, that in justice to her high claims, we do not hesitate to give it publicity. Lege et crede! Aug. 18, 1818. Mr. URBAN, THE inclosed extraordinary facts are sent for insertion in your Magazine. Any further particulars may be obtained of myself,
 P.S. |

* Those who have been accustomed to see the
hand-writing of the Princess, would doubtless be ready to
affirm that this was her signature; but we beg to inform
them that there is a simple process for imitating
autographs, which we have adopted in this case; it might
perhaps be of great utility to dealers in documentary
evidence! We will give a specimen of its powers, by copying
the signature of 'good Queen Bess;' the boldness of whose
hand-writing Olive, in all her official instruments, seems
desirous of imitating.

This tiresome issue, which probably has nothing to do
with Cumberland excepting the assumed title, continues in
the magazine.
