It affords one of the instances in which the monarch's property is actually the people's, and shows how much more natural is their relation to the sovereign than to the nobility, which pretends to hold the intervening space between the two: for a nobleman makes a paradise only for himself, and fills it with his own pomp and pride; whereas the people are sooner or later the legitimate inheritors of whatever beauty kings and queens create, as now of Greenwich Park.

"Wait; what thou knowest not now, thou shalt know hereafter." And out of all this came the famous Koh-i-noor to sparkle in the monarch's crown.
