having been conducted by virtue Of special

We notice its last statement shows + capital

The present volume carries tho life Of the
Prince down to the year 1913. No events Of
great note occurred during the eight years coy
cred by tue narrative, IN which he had held the
position Of Prince consort. His election to the
Chancellorship Of the University OF Cambridge
WAS one Of the most important incidents that
marked this period; but, in the main, his life
was quiet, and as retired as was possible to Lis
station. His unobtruaiveness, joined to his
single-hea1ted desire to further the interests Of
England Ms far as WAS in his power gradually
won for him the respect and regard Of the pa-
ton, dissipatiug in all minds the prcjudices and
jcalousiea to which, as foreigner brought near
to the throne, he had in tho beginning been sub
ject.
Az HISTORY Of the present English Court, the
biography OF the Prince will derive much inter-
est. The account it furnishes OF interviews With
foreign Sovereigns and Princes. and Of visits
with the English nobility, will also be read with
aridity. Indeed, it may be said with candor that
VIC hpvo not had a more pleasing work Of the
kind i'll come time. The picture OF the Prince
may DO high-colored, but it certainly Ii a graft
