All of the events described in this song took place more or less exactly as the song describes them. For example, the coronation of Edward VII had indeed been planned for June of 1902, and parades and other festivities did have to be canceled when the King developed appendicitis. This caused some dismay to people like Henry, who had already rented rooms in London (at a highly inflated price) in the hope of witnessing the ceremonies. The price that Henry agreed to pay / 75 pounds, in 1902 / would be worth $10,000 or more in today's terms. It is also true that, in 1902, surgical removal or draining of an infected appendix had been used only rarely, and was still regarded as an extremely risky course. Nevertheless, the King was operated on by the leading surgeons of the day, one of whom (Frederic Teves) had warned that if he was not allowed to try this new and dangerous treatment, the next event would be not a coronation but a royal funeral. Fortunately, the surgery succeeded (the next day, the King was reported as "sitting up in bed and smoking a cigar"), and Teves was later honored with a baronetcy for his services to medicine. Meanwhile, the postponement of Edward's coronation led to a number of lawsuits like the one filed by Paul Krell, when C.S. Henry announced that he no longer wanted to rent / or to pay for / Krell's flat in Pall Mall overlooking the route of the now-canceled parade. No such contingency had been explicitly provideed for in the rental contract, and both English and American case law were and are rather mirky on the question of which events will excuse a party from a contract without having been explicitly provided for. Legally, this issue is now addressed by such aptly-named doctrines as "mistake," "frustration," and "impossibility," and the leading English cases include Paradine v. Jane (1647) and Taylor v Caldwell (1863). The judges in Krell v Henry (one of whose nephews would grow up to be the English composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams) considered these and other decisions before eventually ruling in Henry's favor. For some reason, the judges also devoted a good deal of discussion to a purely hypothetical case involving a race-lover who hires a cab in advance to take him on Derby day to Epsom, only to find, when the race is postponed or canceled, that he no longer has any need for a cab on that particular day. Since this hypothetical case was never actually decided, it remains unclear just what illumination the English judges drew from it. Still, it was cases like these that gave the American jurist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, occasion to expand upon his earlier statement that "'the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience." Later, writing only five years before Krell v. Henry, Holmes observed tartly that "You can give any conclusion a logical form. You always can imply a condition in a contract. But why do you imply it? It is because of some belief as to the practice of the community or of a class, or because of some opinion as to policy, or, in short, because of some attitude of yours upon a matter ... not capable of founding exact logical conclusions." Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr, "The Path of the Law," 10 Harv. L. Rev. 457 (1897). Additional material on the historical setting of the "coronation cases" (as they have come to be known) can be found in Victor P. Goldberg, "After Frustration: Three Cheers for Chandler v. Webster," 68 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 1133 (2011). / Background pictures (clockwise from lower left): Victoria Tower, the Houses of Parliament.
