better than we know now how much
her majesty 10 done to bring about a
better understanding between France
and Germany, and SO to promote the
peace of the world.
Some idea of the burden of official

gathered from the statement that in
the course of last year her majesty
mastered the contents of no fewer thar
twenty-eight thousand dispatches.
In these democratic days we are sc
accustomed to keep uppermost in ou1
minds the social side of the sovereign's
duties that we are apt to forget how
heavy is her share in the actual work
Of government.
Though her ministers are, of course.
responsible, no official act of theirs is
valid without her assent, which is never
given without a thorough and consci
e~ntious examination of the question il
hand.
But, in addition to her majesty.

renders necessary and which she main
tains with the most scrupulous and IN
