Abstract
I have thought it the simplest and clearest method to introduce, chiefly in the original editorial phraseology, a few prose remarks pre- liminary to each of these ballads, by way of explanation : and it will be remembered that they have all been very widely circulated, not only in England and throughout Canada, but (as bearing generally on the same doctrine) in New Zealand also, and India and Australia.The first ballad in particular has a general application of the Imperial- subkingdom idea to all overgrown colonies ; which are naturally pining for some larger and better form of government than can be supplied to them through an office in Downing Street ; whether (to meet opposite tastes) that larger and better form come to be hereafter Royal or Eepublican.In truth, there is a growing feeling throughout the English world, that our great colonies will not much longer consent to be governed through telegraph wires from the desk of any London politician ; and tfiat, in default of some real scion of royalty being ere long accorded to each as Viceroy on the spot, Australia and Canada (not to add also India, New Zealand, and South Africa) will gradually drop off from their old monarchical stem as distinct, and possibly hostile, republics.To help in a better issue has been from time to time my object through various means, and, not least, by popular ballads ; and I may venture to hope that the vast circulation of these, hitherto in newspapers and handbills, may have had to some extent the good effect intended.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
