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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria a Biography This work is based on the biographical notice of Queen Victoria which was published in the third Supplementary Volume of the 'Dictionary of National Biography' in October 1901. I undertook that article at the earnest request of the public-spirited proprietor of the Dictionary, the late Mr. George Smith, who impressed on me the imperative need of observing in the notice of the Queen that sense of proportion and that regard for exact detail which distinguished other contributions to the 'Dictionary, ' and were essential characteristics of its general scheme. I set to work on the memoir with some misgiving. I was fully conscious of its difficulty. But I did what I could to execute the task in the spirit in which it was confided to me. The article in the 'Dictionary' was favourably received on its publication by the press and the public as a first serious attempt at an exhaustive account of the Queen's long and varied life, and of her relations with public affairs.

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.

Download or read book Queen Victoria written by George Alfred Henty and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Queen Victoria written by Thomas W. Handford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria: Her Glorious Life and Illustrious Reign The infant Princess, the fair May-flower of that year of grace 1819, came to her royal state rich in a pedigree of old renown. She was the undoubted legal successor of the Monarchs of a thousand years. In her veins ran the blood of Saxon, and No'rman, and English princes, from the far-away days of Alfred the Great. The connecting links were mostly women. The wise and worthy Matilda, wife of Henry I., united the Saxon and Norman race; the daughter of Matilda brought in the Plantagenets; the Tudor with Eliza beth of York connected them with the Plantagenets. Margaret, sister of Henry VIII., united by marriage the Tudors and Stuarts. To the last of these houses, our Queen Victoria belongs. Saxon, Plantagenet, and Stuart. She is the lineal descendant of them all! And Mr. Valentine most happily remarks: Tho's'e who believe in heredity will notice with pleasure that the life of the Queen has shown much of the courage of the lion race of Plantagenet, of the Sagacity of the Tudors, of. The kindliness and grace of the Stuarts without their weaknesses. A table of the family of George III. May be valuable just here, to those who are interested in questions of succession.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Victoria, Her Life and Reign: An Illustrated Biography of the Queen, From the Year 1819 to the Present Time There is not much to be said by way of preface. Whatever labour of research appeared to me to be necessary has been honestly faced and, so far as I am aware, no important source of information has been overlooked. I have plodded carefully through the Queen's Leaves and More Leaves, and have given - not merely a few long quotations, chosen haphazard and thrown in to make up copy, but - what is practically an epitome of both volumes. This has involved a good deal of tedious labour; but if the biography has gained in complete ness and interest by the process (the only end contemplated), there is no need to regret the course pursued.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria, Her Life and Reign: A Study of British Monarchical Institutions and the Queen's Personal Career, Foreign Policy, and Imperial Influence Words cannot express the pride I feel as an Englishman in the loyalty of Canada to England. Nevertheless, I should be the first to deplore this feeling if it rendered Canada disloyal to herself, if it dwarfed or smothered Canadian patriotism, or generated a sickly spirit of dependence. Such, however, is far from being the case. The legislation of your parliament, the attitude of your statesmen, the language of your press sufficiently show how firmly and intelligently you are prepared to accept and apply the almost unlimited legislative faculties with which you have been endowed - while the daily growing disposition to extinguish sectional jealousies, and to ignore an obsolete provincialism, proves how strongly the young heart of your confederated commonwealth has begun to throb with the consciousness of its nationalized existence. At this moment not a shilling of British money finds its way to Canada, the interference of the Home Government with the domestic affairs of the Dominion has ceased, while the Imperial relations between the two countries are regulated by a spirit of such mutual deference, forbearance, and moderation, as reflects the greatest credit on the statesmen of both.
