 pRrNcRs ALsspr. .-Albert Franz August Karl Emmanuel, Prince Consort and Duke of Sake O. bufg. Gotha was born August 26th, 1919 at the castle of Rosnan. After preparatory educa. ton atthe hands of private tutors he entered the Unvesity of Bonn, in 1887, as student in iurisprudence, where he devoted himself with great ardor to his studies and having spent three acdemical seasons there, took his leave of the university at the close of the summer half-year cf.lS3S. In July of that year Prince Albert with his father visited England to attend the coronation of Her Majesty where he first made the acquaintance of the Queen of England. It has been often hinted that this meeting was not accidental but the result of diplomacy. Pre- yiousto her coronation the present queen enter- tained such decisive sentiments of preference towards young nobleman subsequently Lord EI- phinstone and goyernor-general of India that the ministry and privy councillors were serious iy disturbed. The laws of England forbid an alliance between a sovereign and subject, and the young queen is said to have shown spirit and temper worthy of Henry the Eighth. "She was queen" she said, "and would marry whom she pleased" ," and probably she would had not Lord Palmerston shipped the young lover on to India and commissioned him with high and lucrative employment. Soon after Prince Albert of Coburg then reputed the handsomest prince in Europe came over and captivated tEe young queen at sight. He revisited England again in 1889 and shortly after it was announced that marriage between him and the queen was pending. This announcement was received with great satisfaction in England. and the Duke of Wellinetoa predicted for him the highest pop. -zlasity.- The marriage was celebrated with great pomp on the 10th of February. lS40 and Parliament voted him Q grant of thirty thousand pounds per annum.
 Prince Albert has achieved considerable dis tiactiou as liberal patron of the arts and insti- tations of learning far more than as a politician Although he made himself somewhat unpopular with the English people soon after his arrival in that country, and although his political and hereditary opinions were different from most of the English ideas. yet he always conducted him. self with dignity. prudence and sagacity. and VIII lDng be remembered and hOnored by the English people.
