And in 1830, at the age of 5-two years after she had mastered the little hieroglyphics that are the alphabet-she remembered donning a little black and white mourning frock for George IV, may he rest in peace. Last week, Britain mourned for her, and Britain had a right to mourn for the mother of so much of Britain's virtue: mother of Viscount Haldane of Cloan, twice Lord Chancellor; mother of Miss Elizabeth Sanderson Haldane, scholar and first...
