NOT ON RECORD.
no OmcfaI Mention of Queen Victo.
ria's birth.


Curiously enough, neither the birth,
baptism, nor confirmation of Queen
Victoria is matter of official public
record. One might suppose that, filed
away in it's appointed place among the
state archives, there could be found a
document formally setting forth the
birth of the child who, though not heir
presumptive to the throne at the time
of her birth, was removed from 1T by
only three degrees. But such is not
the case. With regard to her birth,
all that was deemed necessary was its
announcement by the state officials
| whose duty it was to be personally
| cognizant of the fact.
In the huge Public Record building
| IN Chancery lane, wherein are jealousy
guarded the muniments of ancient
! landed titles and the records of royal
| treaties, one may see the maryelously
| welI-preserved Doomsday Book, which
| is the beginning of all things to the
| English conveyancer; the solemn com
| pacts of cardinals, ENJOYS. ambassa-
| doris, and ex-ministers; the priceless
records of royal prerogatives side by
side with the grants wrung from unwih
ling monarchs to the growing power
of the people. There, also, are pre-
se.Sed, and with equal care, a multi
tude of writings which have no other
interest, despite their antiquity, than
that which comes from the fact that
they have to do with the trivial details
of the most common Modernism the
lives of the kings and queens of Eng
land. But among them all there can be
found no official or other record of the
coming into existence Of certain
child, one Alexandria Victoria, who
was destined ito become the first EN-.
press that ever sat upon an English
throne, to rule over a wider extent OF
country than ever before comprised the
| dominion of sovereign, to count
among her willing subjects greater
number of people and a wider diversity
of races than has ever acknowledged q
common scepter, and who has, finally
in the closing decade of the nineteenth
century, completed longer term OF
continuous reign than has ever been al
loted to a queen in the worlds history
