Mete Jew feeling • with which they regarded
Mast Gracious Majesty's bereavement. It was
very remarkable, the position which the present
Royal family oceppled in respect to the people in
' this country. It had been a position, not merely of
ma*, bah also of the most intimate feeling of

an3"one sovereign. The result was, that when, as
..Vthe prisseut time, Her Majesty by the visitation

imaaffectionate husband, the whole country, every
ag.fmaily •in the country, he might almost say every

he himself had experienced a personal loss,

ledge that the married life of the Queen and
