mad held an unassailable position for
many years, but the dissolution of the
| Empire in Europe seemed inevitable
| and some arrangements must be made
| for division. Russia claimed TO have
a direct interest by treaty in the Chris
tians then controlled by the Empire
primarily, and it was because of this
that England came to enter into an al
lance against Russia. The neace
which was secured by the Crimean war
lasted less than % years. England's
influence in the East has since been ex-
ercised as forcibly. In 1862 England was
nearly called upon again. this time on
behalf of Crete. From 1875 to 1878 she
was deeply interested, ending in the
Congress of Berlin
England's policy in India and her
foreign colonies have secured to her
vast resources. But her interests have
not been wholly absorbed by affairs
without the confines of the british
Islands. The army and navy have been
developed to maintain her prestige.
reforms have been inaugurated in
every branch of the service. The pris-
ons system has been revolutionized
and crime has diminished. The policv
OF the police system has been in the
interests of humanity, to prevent. |
rather than punish"
England's intellectual and educa-.
uonal life has developed during the
reign of Queen Victoria To use the
words Of Justin Mccarthy: "At the
opening OF Queen Victoria's reign a
great race of literary men had come to
q close. 1t is curious IN note how
sharply and completely the literature
Of Victoria separates itself from that
Of the era, whose heroes were Scott
Byron and Wordsworth. Before Queen
Victoria came to the throne. Scott.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-06-22

| Byron, Coleridge and Keats were dead.
| Wordsworth lived, indeed, for many
years after; so did Southey and Moore,
and Savage Lander died later still.
But Wordsworth, Southey, Moore and
Landor had completed their literary
work before Victoria came to the
throne. Not one of them added a cubit
or an inch to his intellectual stature
from that time; some of them even did
work which distinctly proved that
their day was done. A new and fresh
breath was soon after breathed into
literature. Nothing, perhaps, is more
remarkable about the age of Queen
Victoria than it's complete severance
from the leadership of that which had
gone before it, and it's evidence of a
fresh and genuine Inspiration
In the latter part of the reign science
developed more. Science owes much
TO Brewster, to Faraday and to Sir
John Herschell. To Richard Owen
was given the task of enlightening the
surgical world. Hugh Miller brought
geology to the intimate acquaintance
or the masses. Darwin, Hume and |
Huxley made daring original re-
searches also into scientific ideas.
In the earlier part of the reign the |
names of Grote, Macaulay and Carlyle |
stand out prominently. Poetry instant
ly suggests Tennyson and Browning.
The literature of Ruskin has it's own
unique place, nor should Dickens be
forgotten. 1t would be impracticable
to make a list of all who have contrib
uted during the last go years to the
literary and artistic development of
he reign of Queen Victoria In every
atmosphere, in every department, in
every home, the influence of Queen
Victoria has had its lasting, benign eff
'ect.
