Sentim ntal Royal Burn[?]mes.

History gives sixty-eight sentimental surnames to emperors and kings whom it chronicles. For Instance: Charles VIII. of France had the alias appellation of “the affable,” Philippe I. of France that of “the amorous,” Alphonse XI. of Leon and Castile “the avenger,” Victor Emmanuel “re galantuomo,” etc. Many potentates are ranked by history under the same alias. Eight are “good,” forty-one are “great,” seven are “conquerors,” two “cruel,” two “fair” aud four “fat.” But none is surnamed “the happy.”
