our life in the highlands queen victoria

This is a journal and as such, not necessary to plough through the endless minutiae. Lord Liverpool, Lord Morton, and Sir James Clark, who also accompany us, had already gone on to Woolwich

On Board the Royal George Yacht, Monday August 29, 1842Īt five o'clock in the morning we left Windsor for the railroad, the Duchess of Norfolk, Miss Matilda Paget, General Wemyss, Colonel Bouverie, and Mr Anson following us. Mine is #118 of the 1868 edition (ooo la lah!) and inside the front cover:

In addition to Beatrice's edited copy, Lord Esher transcribed the volumes from 1832 to 1861 before Beatrice destroyed them. Despite this destruction, much of the diaries still exist. Beatrice transcribed and edited the diaries covering Victoria's accession onwards, and burned the originals in the process. After Victoria's death, her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, was appointed her literary executor. From July 1832 until just before her death, she kept a detailed journal, which eventually encompassed 122 volumes. Victoria wrote an average of 2,500 words a day during her adult life. She was the last British monarch of the House of Hanover. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire. Her reign of 63 years and seven months is known as the Victorian era. From, she had the additional title of Empress of India. Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death.
