Up to 1880 however, Prince Albert, in spite of his
very excellent Intentions had done very little to make
his name popular among the masses OF the British
pet pie. His high mental culture may have von for
him the good will and regard of one or the other &C.
comp ished member of the ars0cracy, and his urban
ty Of manners msy have earned for hin the gOlien
opinions of the iDms of the pslace. But all that
the crest body of the peope knew of him up to that
time las that he wss the husband of their sovereign.
Some of the wagg In 3linsd of her Aajestys
sutiects may baye thought him very expensive hus-
band considering tina; by the generous discharge Of
his cor iugsl duties be ssdcIed upon the country
yearly incubus of Gl2 900, the usual so vance ia such
cases in the shape OF royal baby; but with e1cep-
ton of this harmless sarcasm, his name provoked
neither much censure nor much admiration. Icy indf
ference wss the Characteristic OF the feeling which he
pers " created Whatever there Of respect in
it, d not belong TO him, but to the Queen. However,
in the course Of $50 change came over the mind OF
the pubic. This was entirely produce by his h.ppy
sugge stion of an industrial exhibition. Many, indeed,
in England disputed HE claim TO the honor Of having
originated this great project but, however this may
be- whether the suggestion proceeded from his own
mind or the inspiration communicated by Sir Joseph
Psnton and oher. go much Is certain that if il had
rot been for his public connection with the enterprise
il would not have been taken up with that peculiar
degree of universal enthusiasm which led TO its
cess. The merchants Of London were the fs.to whom
he submitted his vest scheme and to the honor of that
body be it recorded, they at once promised every POS
.ibe pecuniary support. The body poliio and the
arstocracy were of course allured by the personal
interposition Of royalty, while the masses Of
the people although Individually they &c ipsed
in their psrtcip by tn OF those above them had
al least for the first time the satisfactory prospect Of
ing homage paid 70 their abos il net to their persons
Prince Albert, who as pub 10 man had hitherto
been stranger TO the Of the people acquired
considerable fan and notoriety from tho moment his
suggestion about the Crystal Palace ripened
into action. The unhsggipg energy aud perse-
versDce which he display ed in carrying out the or
gsnizaton and securing the triumph of that extra
ordinary exhibition, were gratefully and admiringly
acknowledged by the public. Inspired by his exam
pie, the most eminent men of the United Kingdom
We'd with each oher in zeal and activity 10 lend their
assistance to the great work. Those who attended
we did a. the opening of the exhibition the first Of
May, 1851 must have noticed the great expression Of
Joy that flushed Victoras cheek on that memorable
occasion. She felt proud of her hush Al and Of the
brilliant, fairy like scene which unfoded itself, and
which, with womans justifsble pride, shs attributed
to him. AZ after the opening speech she wandered
from aise to aisle, while her eyes dwe with wonder
and admiration upon the wares, and toys, and ma
Chimes and al sorts and manners Of industrial pro-
duce of all the nations of the universe her ears were
moot sgreeaby saluted with the fatering applause Of
her admirDg people, for this applause belonged TO
Albert. As TO Albert himself it was the greatest day
be had ever spent in England. He felt it, and looked
deeply moved. Here, at least, he had said some
timely words and had rendered some timely service
which posterity might be expected to remember.
Henceforh the name Of Prince Albert became con-
nected in the mind of the of the people with
that Of public benefactor, and al his failure
deavois 10 lend his hand to social and ora. reforms
are TO be traced back TO the encouraging applause
which be cared by his part in the success of the
o. stall Palace.
