A Note on Reviews
Unless otherwise noted, any books I review on this blog I have either purchased or borrowed from the library, and I do not receive any compensation (monetary or in-kind) for the reviews.
The love of one's neighbors, the sense of duty, truth, and justice, if applied to daily life, would spare mankind countless sufferings, troubles, and anxieties ...
The solution of the problems which oppress the world can only be found in the practice of Charity between individuals and between nations.

Dear, wonderful Prince Albert - the greatest king we might have had! A true Renaissance man - a gifted artist, musician, scientist, architect and poltician with such an awareness of the responsibility that came with privilege. A man who loved his wife and family, educated his daughters as well as his sons; devised the Great Exhibition and thought to create less expensive programmes so that those with less money could share the benefits; a man who was prepared to put aside his own personal prejudice to create greater religious freedom (Catholics had been prohibited from establishing Sees in England until he intervened and swayed Parliament)...and the man who created one of the most beautiful places in the world - Osborne House! And all of that by the age of 42! What a hero! What a real man! :-)
Thank you. There are some people who will be nasty about anyone...
