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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prime Ministers of Queen Victoria Not long after his accession to the peerage, Melbourne was the victim of a miserable action in the Court of King's Bench. It appears that while in Ireland he had been a frequent guest of Lord Brandon, whose wife was a clever but lively and volatile woman. At her house he met with much congenial company. The ill-assorted marriage of Lord and Lady Brandon led to grave difficulties, and his Lordship was unfortunately advised to sue Lord Melbourne for damages on the alleged ground of improper intimacy with his wife during a visit to London. The case collapsed and a nonsuit was entered, there not being a shred of proof against Melbourne. Lord Brandon then instituted proceedings against his wife in the Ecclesiastical Court, but was equally unsuccessful.

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.

To millions who were not her people the words "the Queen" do not bring even yet the thought of the well-beloved woman who now shares the English throne, but rather of her who for nearly sixty-four years wore the crown of Great Britain and gave freely to her country of the gift that was in her. Other women have been controlled by devotion to duty, other women have been moved to action by readiness of sympathy, but few have united so harmoniously a strong determination to do the right with a never-failing gentleness, a childlike sympathy with unyielding strength purpose.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Victoria: Scenes and Incidents of Her Life and Reign ON the zoth 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 briefly recorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Our Own Times, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Accession of Queen Victoria to the General Election of 1880 Before half-past two o'clock on the morning of June 20, 1837, William IV. was lying dead in Windsor Castle, while the messengers were already hurrying off to Kensington Palace to bear to his successor her summons to the throne. The illness of the king had been but short, and at one time, even after it had been pronounced alarming, it seemed to take so hopeful a turn that the physicians began to think it would pass harmlessly away. But the king was an old man - was an old man even when he came to the throne, and when the dangerous symptoms again exhibited themselves, their warning was very soon followed by fulfillment. The death of King William may be fairly regarded as having closed an era of our history. With him, we may believe, ended the reign of personal government in England. William was indeed a constitutional king in more than mere name. He was to the best of his lights a faithful representative of the constitutional principle. He was as far in advance of his two predecessors in understanding and acceptance of the principle as his successor has proved herself beyond him. Constitutional government has developed itself gradually, as everything else has done in English politics. The written principle and code of its system it would be as vain to look for as for the British constitution itself. King William still held to and exercised the right to dismiss his ministers when he pleased and because he pleased. His father had held to the right of maintaining favorite ministers in defiance of repeated votes of the House of Commons.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Queen Victoria: Reproduced From "the Times" With Photogravure Illustrations Queen Victoria was a ruler of a new type. When she ascended the throne the popular faith in Kings and Queens was on the decline. She revived that faith; she consolidated her throne; she not only captivated the affections of the multitude, but won the respect of thoughtful men; and all this she achieved by methods which to her predecessors would have seemed impracticable - methods which it required no less shrewdness to discover than force of character and honesty of heart to adopt steadfastly. A Court jester once remarked that it was better for a country to be governed by a Queen than by a King, for in the latter case the influence of women would prevail, whereas in the former the ascendency Of men was sure to make itself felt. Queen Victoria illustrated this maxim in a way never con templated by the humourist, for she lived all her life subject to the guidance of wise men. But to accept the guidance of the wise is in itself a sign Of too rare wisdom. The Queen was no woman Of placid temperament who could remain indifferent to public affairs so long as her domestic concerns were not interfered with. T O imagine that she divested herself of all responsibilities and secured to herself a peaceful life by doing, without reflection, whatever her Ministers advised, would be absolutely to misunderstand her intelligent, sensitive nature, and to ascribe grand results to very petty causes. It is with good advice as with other commodities - the best is given to those who want the best and can judge Of its quality; and whilst all who approached the Queen have borne witness to her candour and reasonableness in relations with her Ministers, all have likewise proclaimed how anxiously she con sidered advice that was submitted to her before letting herself be persuaded that she must accept it for the good of her people. By thus acting she put statesmen on their mettle, and raised the level of public morality. We know how in private life our conduct may be regulated by the fear of Offending some person who claims no absolute authority to check us, but whose good opinion we highly value. Coming from such a quarter a look of astonishment, a criticism conveyed under the form of a mild question, or mere silence, are potent means of control and it was mainly this kind Of control that the Queen exercised over public men, in many cases with signal benefit, throughout her long reign.
