The Queens Education.

told by Mr.. Owen L. Davys, son OF the
late Bishop of Peterborough. DR.. Days
was first sent for to Kensington Palace
to read English with the Duchess of
Kent, who after q few weeks said to him,
"You teach me 80 we'll that l wish you
would teach my little daughter" and so
began her education, commencing with
the alphabet. Time went on, and it be-
came evident that the princess would in
due time ascend the throne. DR.. Days,
then Dean of Chester, had one day re.
quester her to write out chart Of the
succession Of the English monarchs,
which she presented to him &fterward,
beautifully inscribed, down to the time
of King William Nv. DR.. Days, when
praising the accuracy of the work, re-
marked, "But, princess, you have not put
down the name of the next heir to the
thrvne;" on which her Royal Highness
said, after some consideration, swell, if
put down any name after that of Uncle
William, suppose that should have to
put down my own" On the Duchess of
Kent being informed of what had oc.
Cured, she told the dean that it was a
great satisfaction to her that her daugh.
ter should have discovered so great fact
in SO simple manner. The last duty
which Mr.. Days performed as Her
Majesty's tutor was the hearing her read
over her speech prepared for the House
of Lords; she WAS unwilling to read it in
public until his taste had approved her
elocution. Mr.. Days adds: ut was at
no very long interval after this that a
messenger arrived at our house in Ken.
