THE CIVIL LIST.
Previous to the conjoint reign of King William the Third and Queen Mary the Second, the accupant of the throne of England derived the means of subsistencu from what were 'designated Crown Landa, and hereditary revenna. But before Par liament agreed to Princess Mary succeeding ber father, the dethroned King James the
Socond, and to her Dutch Consort, William of Orango, shating the throne with her, it insisted upon the relingeithment to the teation of the Cman Lands, (with the exception of the Duchies of La- caster and Cornwall), and the hereditary DEPARTMENT,nuca, on the understanding that then, and thereafter, at the commencement of each sucecoding roigu, Parliament would IS°

In 1937, the "Sailor King" died, and was succeeded by his niece, Queen Victoria, then just tarned eighteen years of age, Parliament was at that time în a Bouwhat austere tomper, for its pationes had been severely tried by the two morent occupants of the Throne, more especially by the elder of the two, who regarded i.maelf As the First Gentleman of Europe;" and the country at large considered that the grant for the support of the Soveroigo should be reduced as the times were bad. So the girl-Queen was assigned no more than £386,000 a year as her Civil List. She continued to be paid that amount for Bedrly sixty-four years, su that the Civil List amounted to nearly 243 millions sterl ing during her memorable reign, irrespec- tive of the large revenue that she derived from the Dachies of Lancaster aud 818 Cornwall.

Meanwhile, tho yield from the Crown Lands and the hereditary revenues which she, liku her predecessore, had transferred to the nation, at the com- mencement of her reign, advanced from £180,000 to £460,000 a year. It was in conaoquence of this increase, and alsʊ of the greater demands in these days on the Roys purse, that Parliament, in 190, voted King Edwarda Civil List of £470,000 a year during the period of his roign.
