THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN.
The Lord Chamberlain, the Earl of Clarendon, plays a singularly important role in the Coronation ceremony; indeed, after the Archbishop of Canterbury, it is he who will appear to those present at the crowning to have the most duties to perform, from the time when, attended by an official of the Jewel Office, he bears, on a cushion, while walking in the Sovereign's procession, the ruby ring and a sword for the offering. He also assists the Dean of Westminster to invest the King with his Imperial robe. The Earl of Clarendon,' though the son of one of the most prominent and honoured statesmen of the century, has hitherto taken no part in public affairs. At the same time he has given many proofs of devotion to duty, the power of attaching himself to dependants, and associates of all ages and ranks, and the formation of -strong and lasting friendships, which have ever been among the most admired characteristics of his house. He is the owner of the magnificent ruins of Kenilworth Castle.
