THE FIRST DUKE OF WESTMINSTER, HIS SUCCESSOR, AND HIS ANCESTORS

... . Although the phrase has fallen somewhat into disuse, there can be no doubt that the late Duke of Westminster was a type of what our forbears used to style an admirable Crichton. To one section of the community he stood for philanthropy; to another he was the ideal politician who would even break an old friendship rather than appear to condone what he thought unpatriotic; while to the man ...

AN ASTRONOMER GUARDSMAN

... . Lord Dundonald, who commanded our Cavalry at the Battle of the Tugela, about fifteen years ago showed himself a worthy grandson of the fighting Lord Cochrane, whose name has come down in history as one of the world's greatest sailors.

... . The Queen was naturally very reluctant during the present war crisis to leave Windsor for Osborne, but Her Majesty's departure was very strongly urged by her medical advisers. The fact is that Windsor at this time of year, especially in damp weather, does not suit the Queen's constitution, the proximity of the river and the decaying and decayed foliage of the Parle having a very pernicious ...
