THE ART OF BEING A KING.
[To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR."] notice that in your article in the Spectator of July 23rd on " The Art of being a King," speaking of Queen Victoria, you say : "She looked to her cousin by marriage, the King of the Belgians, whom she used to call her uncle," &o. It is hardly surprising that Queen Victoria called King Leopold I. of Belgium her uncle, as besides being her cousin by marriage through his first wife, Princess Charlotte, daughter of King George IV., he was also the brother of Queen Victoria's mother and the brother of Prince Albert's father. King Leopold I. was therefore not only Queen Victoria's uncle, but her uncle by marriage, and her cousin by marriage
besides.—I am, Sir, &c., J. DESSA IN. 4t BickenhoR Mansions, Gloucester .Place, W.
