Download or read book The Beautiful Life and Illustrious Reign of Queen Victoria Classic Reprint written by John Rusk and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beautiful Life and Illustrious Reign of Queen Victoria The purpose of this work is to furnish the reader an ample yet con venient biography of Queen Victoria, the greatest of all the English monarchs for several centuries, if not for all time, and to accompany the biography with such historical matter as will serve to indicate the won derful progress of the British Empire during the reign which has given to the nineteenth century the recognized name of The Victorian Era. The life of the Queen and the history of her realm were so inextricably mingled that no volume would serve fully which failed to take cogni zance of her reign as a monarch as truly as of her personality as a woman. In brief, then, this work may be accepted as an account of the personal life of Victoria of the House of Guelph, her domestic relations as child, maiden, wife, mother and widow, her tastes and abilities, her characteristics and her friendships, and at the same time as a history of the British Empire during the period of her long occupancy of the throne. Her influence upon domestic legislation, her stand for peace with other powers when wars threatened, her friendship for the United States which served us well in the days of the war between North and South, the loyalty of the colonies throughout the world, which bound the British Empire into a unity stronger than laws could do, all these facts are emphasized in due proportion to their importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Personal Life of Queen Victoria The aim of the writer of this "Life" has been to narrate those incidents which tend most to reveal the personal history and character of the Queen, and no attempt has been made to deal with the events of her reign which belong more to the historian than to the personal biographer. In writing of one so illustrious and far removed from ordinary acquaintance and observation, the difficulties of faithful portraiture are apparent; but the frank manner in which Her Majesty has revealed the details of her domestic life in Sir Theodore Martin's "Life of the Prince Consort," the two volumes of "Leaves from Our Journal in the Highlands," and the "Memoir of Princess Alice," makes the task easier. In addition to these sources of information, I am indebted to the "Greville Memoirs," the "Life of Baron Stockmar."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Character of Queen Victoria Be too grateful. This was a very striking tribute to the person of the late Queen, and one which, when we re ect upon it, must have arisen more from a correct general estimate than from any very exact knowledge. The character of Her Ma jesty was very widely divined; it cannot with truth be said to have been very precisely known. The fierce light which beats upon a throne has two sfiects, the one of which is more commonly per ceived than the other. It throws up, indeed, into brilliant prominence, certain public features of the character, but none the less it produces a dazzle ment, a glare of glory, ln the ood of which it is not easy to analyse with exactitude the component parts out of which that character is formed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria as I Knew Her After my book was completed, the same con fidential relations continued. This gave me such unusual opportunity of observing Her Majesty's qualities of mind and heart, that I am tempted to place on record so much of what I saw as may without impropriety be told. What she was as a Sovereign will be for historians to tell; it is only of the woman as she became revealed to me that I would speak, using, where I may, her own words, as I find them in looking back upon the very voluminous correspondence with which I was honoured through many years. The endearing qualities of the Queen have been acknowledged by all who knew her. They secured for her what might be truly called the affectionate devotion of the men and women of her Court. I belonged to the outer world, but by no one were these qualities more warmly felt than by myself; for to the end.

Download or read book Queen Victoria written by T. Frederick Ball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria: Scenes and Incidents of Her Life and Reign ON the 20th of June, 1887, Queen Victoria will, we trust, complete the fiftieth or Jubilee Year of her reign, and in anticipation of that time, it has been thought that a book descriptive of the chief scenes and incidents of her life might suitably be published. Owing to the seclusion in which the Queen has mostly lived for some years past, many of the present generation have never seen her, and have no very vivid idea of her as a real person. Whether or not they will know her any better after reading this volume remains to be seen. It is not intended as a book for children, but for those young people who are old enough to take an intelligent view of facts and events. At the same time it is hoped that it will meet with acceptance at the hands of those who can remember many of the events here brie y recorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Court of Queen Victoria NO apology need be made for this book, though perhaps a reason for publishing it may be given. In these pages I have endeavoured to show Queen Victoria in her natural setting during her youth, hoping thereby to present her as a really human person. For twenty-five years at least the tendency among those who write has been so to overwhelm the late Queen with adulation that the ordinary reader turns from the subject in disgust. We are not fit for perfection; we believe that perfection is only an ideal - one which would probably become insufferable were it to de generate into actuality - and when biographers, Whose line, it is true, has been more or less laid down for them, depict Queen Victoria without fault and possess ing almost preternatural wisdom and virtue, then there must be danger of unpopularity for the great Queen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Married Life of Queen Victoria The married life Of an individual predicates a second individual, and this volume is as much a con sideration Of the Character of the Prince Consort as Of that Of Queen Victoria. Though in his youth he pro fessed liberal tendencies, the Prince was a strong up holder Of Monarchy, and resisted with all his strength anything that he considered an encroachment on the powers Of the Crown. He went further, for his life in England was, On one side of it, a long attempt to put back the hands Of the clock and reinstate authority which had already been delegated to Parliament. Had the Prince lived long, the history Of England would have been very different from what it is, for either our Parliament would have succumbed to his ideals, and England would have become reactionary, or the struggle between the people and the Crown would have ended in the abolition of the Monarchy; and it is not difficult to believe which part the English people would have chosen in the critical time Of thirty and forty years ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria: Scenes From Her Life and Reign To give even an outline of all the events and all the wonderful progress made during the long reign of Queen Victoria would require many volumes, and in the limits of one small book it is possible to glance only at its principal events. Comparatively little can be said of the life of the Queen as a woman, and yet it is as a woman rather than as a Queen that her influence has been most influential over the people she ruled. Her domestic virtues, the purity of her life, her example as a wife and a mother, her sympathy with her people on all occasions of distress and suffering have given her a place in their hearts such as no monarch ever before possessed; and her death has been mourned, not only as that of a Queen, but of a woman privately and personally most dear to us all. Her virtues have gained for her the admiration and respect of people of all nations, and the outburst of sorrow universally exhibited upon the news of her death is a far higher recognition of her worth than any written tribute can be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from V. R. I: Queen Victoria, Her Life and Empire It is to be regretted that this necessity for Speed and comparative haste makes it also necessary to be very brief. For in a long reign there is so much of impor tance that may and should be told that the narrow limits of one volume, presenting pictorial as well as written description of our times, cannot suffice. I had collected many interesting letters from men of mark telling of the great events of the hour, and had in tended in this volume to give those speaking of days which have passed fifty years ago. But Space defies the attempt; they are left aside, illustrative and in teresting as many are. Only the strongest and high est surging of the currents of those days may be picked out as the stream of time hurries past.
