Excerpt from The Journal of Education for Upper Canada, Vol. 15: For the Year 1862 Then, again, I need not say that as a patron of the Arts and Sciences, the character, conduct, and career of the Prince Consort has been most conspicuous. The arts beautify, they don't sup port they are the capital of the column they are not its foundation but, wherever Christianity has ourished in its purity, there the arts, - painting, poetry, science, literature, - have all ourished also. The Great Exhibition of 1851, I am told, was his idea. The original idea was that the Crystal Palace was to be, as it were, a mart, to show what England had done and it was his sug gestion that it should not be sectarian but catholic, not nations] but universal. He, too, I am told, originated the Great Exhibition for 1862. But that has lost a mighty attraction. We shall not be able to look on its beauty and splendour without seeing the shadow of one who was expected to be present to take the chief part. The very appearance of that exquisite and beautiful structure will be suggestive of a loss to science, a loss to the arts, a loss to the country - a loss that we all earnestly and deeply deplore.
