THE QUEEN'S FAVOUR FOR BALMORAL—The
Queen writes in her journal at Balmoral, Oct. 13, 1856 :
Every year my heart becomes more fixed in this dear
Paradise, and so much more so now that all has become
my dearest Albert's own creation, own work, own build-
ing, own laying out, as at Osborne, that his great taste
and the impress of his dear hand have been stamped every-
where."
