  From  THE  DEVIL'S  DICTIONARY  ((C)1911  Released  April  15  1993)  [devils]: 
 
  MONARCH,  n.  A  person  engaged  in  reigning.  Formerly  the  monarch 
  ruled,  as  the  derivation  of  the  word  attests,  and  as  many  subjects 
  have  had  occasion  to  learn.  In  Russia  and  the  Orient  the  monarch  has 
  still  a  considerable  influence  in  public  affairs  and  in  the 
  disposition  of  the  human  head,  but  in  western  Europe  political 
  administration  is  mostly  entrusted  to  his  ministers,  he  being 
  somewhat  preoccupied  with  reflections  relating  to  the  status  of  his 
  own  head.
