IN aid BOOK AND A PRETTY ROMANCE.

o seven Centuries Ago by King Charles of Scotland
Young Lady With Whom He Was in Love.

A little more than two centuries
ago Miss Campbell sailed for Amer.

From the time of Mrs. Tate, nee
Miss Campbell, the famous old
book has descended generation at

On, account of it's remarkable an

very flatterlng offers for it, but
she has so far declined to part with

KING A TYPICAL BRETON.
Views of Edward VII. Are Those of n Majority of the People of
 England.

The late queen was on many sides typically British, and when she thought and acted most individually and unconsciously she was often most in sympathy with her people. So with the king, says the Saturday Review. Given some great and sudden event, we believe that the kings first thought and impulse in regard to it would be almost certainly that of the majority of his people. Iii the king, that is, his ministers, we find very typical Eng lishman, and in many cases we do not doubt that they can judge of what public opinion is likely to be in regard to a proposed course of action by not ing the first impact on the mind of the king. More. knowledge, more explana- tion, further consideration of the diff faculties attending other courses of action, may alter and change his mind, 5ut the kings first view is more than likely to be the first view of the nation also. It will always be a straightfor- ward and courageous view, and one tree from undue suhtlety and fnesse. We have of course no meansof know ing what the prince of Wales thought during the crisis of the late war, but we should be indeed surprised if his view was not that of the vast ma ajority of the British people, i. e, one of dog ged optimism.
