The Queens Memoirs Of Prince
Alberta which appeared last year,
attracted unusual interest In demo-
cratic America, as well as in mon
archieal Europe, not so much on
account Of its literary merit as Of its
royal authorship. 1t is a rare occur
renee that the people are permitted
to look behind the veil which hides
the life Of royalty from the outside
world, and when the opportunity is
presented it is always readily en-
braced. The success Of the book
was, as might have been expected,
very great and those who read
it were all the better for the
reading. 1t removed much of
the popular prejudice which exist
ed IN regard TO both the Prince
and his royal spouse. It proved her
TO be a woman with o woman's heart,
Notwithstanding she wore q jeweled
crown. The volume before US, the
Life il the Highlands is, as it
were, sequel to the Memoirs of
Prince Albert" and is from the same
Queenly pen. There is nothing in the
subjects presented in the book of unus-
ual interest or importance, and many a
book Of travel has appeared within the
past year which contains more Valua-
BILE information for the reader. It's
chief attraction is in the fact that on
every page it has the royal impress,
presenting in frank and simply writ
ten language the unaffected story of
Victoria's life. The volume opens
with Earlier Visits to Scotland, "
and closes with Tours in Eng
land and Ireland, and Yachting
Excursions" The circumstances
which led to the publication Of the
volume are narrated by Arthur Helps,
the editor. BE writes: During one
Of the editors official visits to Bal
moral, her Majesty very kindly allow
ed him TO see several extracts from
her journal relating to excursions ia
the Highlands Of Scotland. He was
much interested by them, and express
ed the interest which he felt. 1t then
occurred to her Majesty that these ex-
tracts, referring, as they did, to some
Of the happiest times of her life,
might be made into book to be print
ed privately for presentation to mem
bers of the Royal Family and her
Majesty's intimate friends, especially
to those who had accompanied and
attended her in these tours"
The volume will be found one ofthe
most interesting Of the recent publ.
cations. It is issued in the neat and
attractive style Characteristic of the
Harpers, and printed in large and
distinct type. 1t will be sent, pOstag'
paid, on receipt Of 81 IS. For sale
