For five years this daily record continues, and we have a simple and extraordinarily graphic picture of a young girl, whose high destiny was but half revealed to her enjoying the theatre and fine music with- passion, galloping about on her pony, reading history with the Dean of Cheter, washing her pet dog, and making shod abstracts of the Bermon on Sunday.

But there la even stronger proof at present un- revealed, for it was after 1861, when the published correspondance closes, that, owing to the respon- sibilities of high office and personal intercourse, he obtained a deeper knowledge of the inner workings of the Monarchical system under our institutions, and a firmer basis for his reasoned opinions.

HATRED OF WAR.
the
It was largely due to the pertinacions support given by the Queen to those members Cabinet who in 1850 favoured peace that England was not dragged by Lord Pelmersion, and Lord John Russell into the contest between Prussia and Denmark. It was an occasion when the senti- ment of the country and the policy of a powerful Minister came into conflict, and no one, reading the inner bistory of that conflict of opinion, can doubt that the posesful issue was largely deter- mined by the notion of the Queen: The non- intervention of Great Britain in 1850 Was largely due to the joint endeavour of the Queen and the Prince Consort; and, later on, it was to the infinite credit of the Prince that 1861, at a moment of national heat and excitement, this country was saved from the crime of a war with the United States. The proofs of these state ments are to be found in the volames of the Queen's Correspondence.
We are not concerned, however, with the mer. its of these bygone controversies. The question as to which policy was right may still be argued Butwe are concerned with theillustration afforded by the Queen of the effect of throwing the whole weight of the indirect influence of the Crown into the scale of peace. Had she noted otherwise the result would have been to cast doubt upon the institution of Monarchy, and possibly, at some period, to have jeopardised the Crown

QUEEN'S ONLY SERIOUS ERROE." Perhaps the only serious error made by the Queen was her seclusion during the long period from 1861 to 1874-when she allowed her deep feelings usa woman to prevail against the claims made upon her as Head of the State, But these claims were of the lesser kind. The greater claims she met during those years in a degree which will only be fully realised if it should be come possible to pablish a further selection of her correspondence during that period.

THE THRONE AS AN INSTITESION.
Hie biographer suggests that Mr. Gladstone was deeply moved by his sense of chivalry and his sense of an august tradition, and I would not vonture to disagree, but I feel confident that Mr. Gladstone was also largely influṣaced by his long Ministerial experience and his in- timate knowledge of the inner working of the Constitution. If
that is true, and if Mr. Grad- steze's formed judgment was based on foot and experience, it is justified by much of what has been revealed in the published correspondence of Queen Victoria.
It is necessary to speak of her private life-it was so bound up with her public life--and upon the connection between these her influence over her people mainly rested. At this point, owing to his Majesty the King's gracious permission to quote from her Journals, the Queen has spoken and can speak for herself. I have known of no better way to bring home to you the deep underlying truth about Queen Victoris than to quote her own words, at different, and characteristic periods of her life.

A week later the Queen writes describing one of many eveninge spent with her Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace.

1838 Wednesday, July 25.-Wrote my journal. At a quarter to eight I went into the Targus-room with my ladies and gentle- men and Feo and Mama, where I found the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Augusta and George. After waiting a little while we went into the green drawing- room, which looked very handsome lit up, and was full of people all in uniform. I subjoin an account of all the arrange mants, and all the people. After re- maining for about five minutes in that room, talking to several people, amongst others to good Lord Melbourne, we went into dinner, which was served in the gallery, and looked, I must say, frost brilliant and beautiful. We sat down 103, and might have been more, The display of plate at one end of the room was really very handsome. I sat between Uncle Sumar and Princa Esterhazy. The music was in a small orchestra in the saloon, and Bounded extremely well. Uncle Sussex seemed in very good spirits, azid Esterhazy in high force, and full of fun, and talking so loud. ca glass of stein-wine with Lord Melbourne, who sat a good way down on my left between the Duke of Devonshire and Lord Holland. After dinner we wout into the Yellow Drawing-Boom. Princess Schwarts- zenberg looked very pretty but tired; and Mme. Zavadowiky beautiful and so sweet and placid. About 20 m. after we lailles came in, the gentlemen joined us. I spoke to almost everybody; Lord Grey looked well; the Duke of Wallington, ill, but cheerful and in good spirits. I spoke for some time also to Lord Melbourne who thought the Gallery looked very handsome and that the whole did very well"; "I don't see how it could do better," he kaid. He admired the large diadem I had on.
