Alice-Maud-Mary, Grand-duchess of Hesse, was born 25th April 1843, the second daughter of Queen Victoria. In 1862 she married Prince Louis of Hesse, who succeeded his uncle as grand-duke in 1877; and she died at Darmstadt, 14th December 1878. Her Letters (1884), edited by the Princess Christian, with a memoir by Dr Sell, give a charming impression of an accomplished lady, lovable alike as daughter, wife, and mother, gracious and kind to all the world.
