ROMANCE OF THE REGISTERS..

The registers of St. George's, Hanover. square, are in themselves an enthralli subject and the Parish Clerk is justly proud of them. Here may be found the matriages of Nelson's Lady Hamilton and of the famous Duchess of Kingston who married too many people at once. In 1703 is recorded the marriage of the Duke of Sussex to Lady Augusta Murrays afterwards declared void under the Royal Marriage Act.

But it is impossible to go back to such far-off times because Mr. Maisey has scen so much in his own. At one wedding the register has been signed by two Kings and two Queens, at another by four Prime Ministera. The first was that of Lady Mary Acheson to Mr. Robert Ward, and the signatories were the King and Queen (then Prince and Princess of Wales), King Edward, and Queen Alexandra The second marriage was that of Mr. Asquith and Miss Tennant, and the four Prime Ministers were the bridegroom himself, then in posse and not in ere Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Balfour, and Lord Rosebery. Many have since gazed in awe upon those sigistares, but only one, Dersevering American lady; has ever bee able to decipher that of Lord Roschery Auother wedding that Mr. Maisey To members most vividly out of many that cannot be enumerated is that of the $29.66 81 84 sw 4 o Chevalier Marconi and Miss Beatrice 29.68 79 E9 W10 O'Brien, While of the quiet weddings (29.70 80 87
