and it is worthy of note that the queen,
who thus saw tit to commemorate the

The first entry in the diary which
forms her books is dated Aug. %, 1s42,

That day was the beginning Of their
first tour of Scotland, and led to the
establishment of their summer home at
Balmoral and the continuation of their
romance amidst scenes made personally
dear by the prince consort's skill in
home-makipg. The first characteristic
note comes 10 the diary Of the fret day
in Scotland-the first for Victoria, as it
is the fret for the amiable Albert. The
queen describing, their ride out Of Edin-
burg, says:
LAS We came sloog We saw Crsgmiller

This description. devoted to one of
the most beautiful drives in the world,
is one OF the most pretentious passages
in the Leaves" and it is fair sample
Of Queen V,ctoria's descriptive power as
q writer. She says:
''Oh, what can equal the beauties Of
nature! What enjoyment there is in
them! Albert epj ,ys them so much; be

this love for nature from his dear
