716 - L. Feb. 2; ed: 2/1 - In England the welfare of the nation and man-
kind depends largely upon the character and sex of the first baby in
the royal household. The first report of the baby weighing nine pounds
was untrue. The little prince is happy and well. Everyone trusts that
he has inherited largely of the virtues of his royal grandmother, Wic-
toria. This is the third time that sovereigns of the House of Hanover
have seen a child born to succeed to their honors. "Wictoria's heir
and grandchild comes into this busy world of ours with no antinatal
family jars. Let us hope well for the new prince." (17)
