Her adherence to truth is of so marked a character that I feel no apprehension of that Bulwark being broken down by any circumstance.
"'I must conclude by observing that as yet the Princess is not aware of the station that she is likely to fill.

She is aware of its duties, and that a Sovereign should live for others; so that when Her innocent mind receives the impression of Her future fate, she receives it with a mind formed to be sensible of what is to be expected from Her, and it is to be hoped, she will be too well grounded in Her principles to be dazzled with the station she is to look to.'" [Footnote 3: Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, 1828-1853, and John Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln, 1827-1853.] [Footnote 4: The Rev.George Davys, the Princess's instructor, afterwards successively Dean of Chester and Bishop of Peterborough.] The examination was undertaken by the Bishops, with highly satisfactory results.

Their report says: "The result of the examination has been such as in our opinion amply to justify the plan of instruction which has been adopted.

In answering a great variety of questions proposed to her, the Princess displayed an accurate knowledge of the most important features of Scripture History, and of the leading truths and precepts of the Christian Religion as taught by the Church of England, as well as an acquaintance with the Chronology and principal facts of English History remarkable in so young a person.

To questions in Geography, the use of the Globes, Arithmetic, and Latin Grammar, the answers which the Princess returned were equally satisfactory.
"Upon the whole, we feel no hesitation in stating our opinion that the Princess should continue, for some time to come, to pursue her studies upon the same plan which has been hitherto followed, and under the same superintendence.
