while dealing with dates. The lnscrip-

instead Of the tenth is only an e1-
ample Of many similar errors. In No
ycmber, 1858, Queen Victoria wrote to
the late king to inform him that be

from parental authority and control,

then Prince Of Wales that be would be

BILE to understand, for the prince had
