WILLIAM IV (1765-1837). King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Autograph page from schoolboy notebook, 1 page 4to (oblong), 28 August 1775. A 6-line sentiment, in English in a fine copperplate hand.

A quotation from The Rambler (1750) by Samuel Johnson:
'That friendship may be at a once [sic]
fond and lasting, there must not be
equal virtue on each part, but virtue of
the same kind; not only the same end
must be proposed, but the same means
must be approved by both.'
