THE first acquaintance of Queen Nicto-
ria with Sir Moses MontefiOre, the veneer
able Hebrew philanthrOpist, dates from
about the year 1894, when, as Princess
Victoria. she was residing at Ramsgate
with her mother, the Duchess of Kent.
The Princess and her mother, being tired
of the public walks and somewhat annoy
ed at the staring to which they were eX-
posed, were anxious to find some private
gardens to which they could have access
! occasionally in order to take their walks
privately. Sir Moses MOnte1ore, hearing
of their wish, sent them polite message
saying that his grounds at East Cliff
Lodge were at their disposal. At the
same time he sent a golden pass-key of
his private gate as a present to the youth
full Princess, who probably then received
her earliest impressions of sympathy with
the people of whom Sir Moses was so eX-
cellent specimen.
