THE DOMINIONS AND MONARCHICAL FORMS. [To THE EDITOR OF THE
" SPECTATOR."]
Stu,—In Canada also we have a certain class of people who, like " New Zealander," inveigh on occasion against the " I " and " My " of the King and pride themselves in being " demo- cratic." The real answer, however, has been made by the people of Canada at large, high and low, rich and poor, on the occasion of the present visit of the Prince of Wales. It is most gratifying to see the spontaneous pleasure taken by every one in places like Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, not to mention the smaller places, in pouring out to greet the genial, wise, all- seeing, democratic little English gentleman who has come to i visit us. Romance in Canada had come to be almost trodden out by the war, but undoubtedly the spark has been rekindled by our delightful and very human young Prince.—I am, Sir, Toronto, September 7th.
