this should so happen, that the only two chapters of the Bible left out
or proscribed are the 17th and 21st of Ezekiel. Surely blindness in part
has happened to Israel, and what we esteemed as accidental in the
increased light of Revelation, stands to view as the ordered purposes of
an all-seeing God.

The royal standard of England has nine lions on it and a unicorn. Let
anyone set this standard before him as a map, the right hand will
represent East, the top North, left West, the bottom South. The unicorn
comes from the East, it has a chain round its neck. So the Tribe of
Benjamin came that way, and, as Normans, were finally attached to the
throne. The big lion comes from the West, so it did from Ireland to
Scotland and London. On the top we have a crown, and on the top of this
we have a lion. On the first quarter are three lions, second quarter
one, on the third a stringed harp with an angel's head, and on the fourth
three lions, the total of lions nine, and an unicorn. The fact is, this
standard, had we time, teaches a world of history, and with the Psalmist
we may say: "Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee; that it may
be displayed because of the truth" (Psalm lx. 4). The genealogy and
descent of Queen Victoria from Zedekiah we will furnish you. This
genealogy has been got up by the faithful and very persevering labours of
Rev. F. R. A. Glover, M.A., and Rev. A. B. Grimaldi, M.A., two
Episcopalian clergymen of England. The chart is supposed to be as near
perfect as any such thing can be. If any of you find any defect be kind
enough and let me know. In the following genealogy those who reigned
have K. prefixed--the dates after private names refer to their birth and
death, those after Sovereign's names to their accession and death.
