to the Princess Victoria by her mother for the express purpose that she should record the facts of her daily life and this record of facts and impressions was open to the inspection of the child's governess as well as of her mother.
 Many journals have been written with the view of serving the historian of the future and with the distinct purpose of basis to history. This cannot be said of queen Victorias diaries. She made no attempt to analyze character or the mean ing of events. IT they throw no new light on the history of the period they will give to future generations an in- sight of never failing interest into the character Of the young Queen.
 Princess Victoria had been well eduea- ted according to the lights of those days. She could play the piano a little, she could sing d little, she could speak few languages "as well as any Queen. is called upon to do SOL and she en- joyed reading such books as she could read without effort. She had also taste for drawing, and her water color sketches were through life constant source of happiness to her. There are at Windsor hundreds of small sketch books containing "reminiscences of her journeys and sojournings in Scotland and in Italy and in other countries. They are not of the highest artistic merit but a-e very creditable pieces of work
 The early journals are as simple and childlilke as those any girl of her age, not expecting to be Queen, would write. She was pleased and interested in every thing around her, and the kindness of her heart is conspicuous in those early pages. Later, after she became Queen, we learn how she felt toward certain people with whom she was constantly brought in contact There is much about Lord Melbourne, who was her prime minister during the early years of Ter reign. From the day of her accession to the day of her marriage the table talk of Lord Melbourne fills the largest space in her journals. She was girl of IS and he was 5S.

Cloth of Gold Supertunica

At the beginning of the anthem where I've made a mark I retired to St. Ed wards chapel. small dark place imme- diately behind the altar, with my ladies and train bearers; tok off my crimson robe and kirtle and put on the supertun- iea of cloth of gold, also in the shape of a kirtle, which was put over a singular sort of little gown of linen trimmed with lace; I also took off my circlet of da- monds. and then proceeded bareheaded into the abbey; I was then seated upon St. Edwards chair. where the Dalmatic robe was clasped round me by the lord great chamberlain.
 '"rhen followed all the various things and last (of those things) the crown being placed upon my head, which was, l must own, a most beautiful impressive mos ment; all of the peers and peeresses put on their coronets at the same instant. My excellent Lord Melbourne, who stood very close to me throughout the whole cere- mony. was completely overcome at this moment and very much affected; he gave me such a kind, and I may say, fatherly look. The shouts, which were very great, the drums. the trumpets, the firing of the guns, all at the same in- stant, rendered the spectacle most im- posing The authorization and the hom- age of, first, all the bishops, then my
 
 respective order, was very fine.
 At about F D. entered my carriage, the crown on my head and sceptre and orb in my hand, and we proceeded the same way as we came-the crowds if pos sible having increased. The enthusiasm, affection and loyalty was really touching and I shall ever remember this day as the proudest of my life. I came home at @ little after Greatly not feeling tired.'
 Lord Melbourne complimented her upon the way she got through her coronation. You did it beautifully he said every part of it with so much taste it's thing that you can't give person advice upon; it must be left to a person. This praise from her prime minister. who was her kind impartial friend' gave her great and real pleasure"
 Under date of September 27 the Queen writes:
 Then Lord Melbourne gave me Q medal (of myself) which the city remembrancer sent to me (and of which we looked at a silver one last night, and I observed it was very like It's fine head said Lord NJ. the nose cut up which gives a good deal of fnesse to the look which made me laugh.

and we began our progress It was fine day, and the crowds of people exceeded what I have ever seen; many as there were the day I went to the city, it was nothing-nothing to the multitudes. the millions of my loyal subjects who were assembled in every spot to witness the procession Their good humor and excess sive loyalty was beyond everything, and I really cannot say how proud I feel to be the queen of such a nation. I was alarmed at times for fear that the peo- pie would be crushed and squeezed on account of the tremendous rush and pres sure.

The sight was splendid; the bank of peeresses quite beautiful, all in their robes. and the peers on the other side. My young train bearers were all ways near me, and helped me whenever wanted anything. The Bishop of Dur ham stood on one side near me.

There were about the same number of people there as at the first ball. and a great number of foreigners there. My good Lord Melbourne came up to me after my first quadrile, but only stopped one minute. and though I saw him looking on at three of the quadrilles I danced afterwards, he never came rear me again, which was very sorry for: anu NiGH Stit loi dltCi SuBpcIt He was gone.
 After supper I danced four quadrilles in Strauss's room; he was playing most beautifully. I danced with Lord George Paget, Lord Ieyeson.
