A STRIKING BIOGRAPHY.
QUEEN VICTORIA
IN LOVE.
LIFE AT EUROPE'S DULLEST COURT.
The tale of a Prince who was so good that the British people never properly understood him is told by Mr. Frank B. Chancellor In his book Prince Consort (pub- shod to-day, Philip Allan, 218.).
It is the first modern biography of Alburt, a very sound, judicious piece of work, and one which will go far to establish its author's re- putation.
When the great bell of St. Paul's 70 years ago folled out the sad news of the Prince's early death, a spasm of sorrow' pussuod ver the Batinn.

Indeed, were objectionable to him throughout the whole of his life and he fought a continunl battle against sleep whenever it was necessary for him to extend his customary hour of retirement.
But to compensate for this de fect he was exceedingly good-look- ing, extremely studious, and an excellent fencer. He was never a ladies' man. And almost at the last minute Victoria herself be- gan to doubt whether she really wanted to marry him,
She was annoyed, too, because when Albert was invited to Lon- don be showed no ardour in ac cepting the invitation. But all her doubts vanished when she saw him.
She looked and at once knew. her fate. "Albert's beauty is most striking, and he is most amiable and unaffected-in short, Very fascinating," she wrote off to Brussels. The position was somewhat delicate. In most walks of life it is customary for the man rather than the woman to propose, but in this ense the order had to be reversed. ... Victoria made kunwn her wishes. Ir did not hesitate, but took her his arms and sealed the bargain with a kiss.
