The Marquis of Lorne, who now becomes the new Duke of Argyll on the death of his father, is one of the few nobles in Britain allied to the royal family. But the marquis, or, rather, the duke, is very high-bred. His mother was a daughter of the great Duke of Sutherland. In 1871 the then Marquis of Lorne was wedded with Princess Louise, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. The ceremony was performed in London by the bishop of London, assisted by two other bishops of the state church. Like his celebrated father, the duke is a learned man, and fond of writing. He is the author of a number of historical and political works, and he has published two volumes of poetry of a very meritorious order. Politically he has not been overactive. He has served a few years in parliament, and was honored with the viceroyalty of Canada in succession to Lord Dufferin. He is 55 years old.
