Bag om The Life Of Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen V1

The Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen V1 is a biographical book written by Sarah Tytler, which provides a comprehensive account of the life and reign of Queen Victoria, the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on different aspects of the Queen's life, including her childhood, marriage, motherhood, and reign.Tytler's account of Queen Victoria's life is based on extensive research and draws on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, including letters, diaries, official documents, and memoirs. The book provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of the Queen, exploring her personality, character, and achievements, as well as her relationships with her family, advisors, and subjects.The first volume of the book covers the Queen's early life, from her birth in 1819 to her accession to the throne in 1837. It describes her childhood at Kensington Palace, her education, and her early relationships with her family members, including her mother, the Duchess of Kent, and her uncle, King William IV. The book also traces the Queen's courtship and marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and their early years together as a royal couple.Overall, The Life of Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen V1 is a fascinating and well-researched biography of one of the most iconic figures in British history. It offers a valuable insight into the life and reign of Queen Victoria, and is a must-read for anyone interested in British history, monarchy, or biography.On the very day after the commutation of the sentence had been announced, Sunday, the 3rd of July, the Queen was again fired at as she sat by the side of her uncle, King Leopold, on her way to the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The pistol missed fire, and the man who presented it, a hunchback, was seized by a boy of sixteen called Dasset. So ridiculous did the group seem, that the very policemen pushed away both captor and captive as actors in a bad practical joke. Then the boy Dasset, who retained the pistol, was in danger of being taken up as the real culprit, trying to throw the blame upon another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
