most practical. Since he joined the army he has
made the study OF his profession the main business

1872 the Prince took subordinate but . labOriOu0

given one or two lectures on special military mat

Prince OF Wales visited the Esterhazy collection Of
the Casino whence he was fetched by Count paul
