We have dwelt thus lengthily on Charles _Albert ' s career as shown by Mrs . Gretton , because the actions and motives of this monarch
are usually viewed with suspicion , and it becomes matter of fresh interest at this moment rightly to understand what was the true
meaning of that perplexed story which has so long divided public opinion . Headers must judge for themselves of the value of the
narrative here given ; and if somewhat of partisan feeling be evident , it is not without authority that _olit author advances to the
rescue , and we advise all who are really interested in the question
to consult this able little work itself .

The Journal of the IVorhhouse Visiting Society . Longman and Co .
We have before us the three first numbers of this Journal , embodying the results of the first labors of a Society to whose foundation
we devoted several pages in August , 1858 . Each mimber contains short papers on different subjects connected with workhouse
management , and correspondence from people in the country , who are working in connection with the society or in ordinary official
departments . The three papers on which our eyes fastened with most interest were , the report of the meeting held on the 17 th of May
at the rooms of the Association for Social Science , and two short articles entitled " The "Workhouse a Home for Incurables , "

assemblage of the kind we ever witnessed , a gathering together of men and women on the common platform of a good work .
Itappeared from the report , read by Mr . Hastings , that communications have been held with persons connected with above thirty unions ,
both in London and the country . That several of the metropolitan workhouses are now visited by ladies ; and that . in Liverpool a
committee of la , dies was appointed by the guardians , in consequence of the consideration of the subject which took place at the meeting
of the National Association last October . This is the small beginning of what will grow to be a great
work . —• mation " The of Society branch is societies now invited in the to bestow principal attention towns on in this connection point . with The for the
