Her short life had hardly been a happy one. By nature impulsive, capricious and vehement, she had always longed for liberty and she had never possessed it. She had been brought up among violent family quar rels, had been early separated from her disrep utable and eccentric mother and handed over to the care of her disreputable and selfish father. When she was seventeen, he decided to marry her off to the Prince of Orange she, at first, acqui esced but, suddenly falling in love with Prince Augustus of Prussia she determined to break off the Thin . not her first love af fair for she had previatidy carried OE a dbwades tine with a Captain Hess l 2 QUEEN VICTORIA Augustus was already married, morganatieally, but she did not know it, and he did not tell her. While she was spinning out the negotiations with the Prince of Orange, the allied sovereigns it was June, 1814 arrived in London to celebrate their victory. Among them, in the suite of the Emperor of Russia, was the young and handsome Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, He made sev eral attempts to attract the notice of the Princess, but she, with her heart elsewhere, paid very little attention. Next month the Prince Regent, discovering that his daughter was having secret meet ings with Prince Augustus, suddenly appeared upon the scene and, after dismissing her household, sentenced her to a strict seclusion in Windsor Park. God Almighty grant me patience 1 she exclaimed, falling on her knees in aa agony of agi tation then she jumped up, ran down the back stairs and out into the street, hailed a passing cab, and drove to her mothers house IE Bays water.

Prince ANTECEDENTS 3 too, disappeared. The way was at last open to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. 1 This Prince was clever enough to get round the Regent to impress the Ministers, and to make friends with another of the Princesss uncles, the Duke of Kent. Through the Duke he was able to communicate privately with the Princess, who now declared that he was necessary to her happi ness. When, after Waterloo, he was in Paris, the Dukes aide-de-camp carried letters backwards and forwards across the Channel. In January 1816 he was invited to England, and in May the marriage took place The character of Prince Leopold contrasted strangely with that of his wife.

Entrusted by His Majesty the King with the duty of making a selection from Queen Victoria's correspondence, we think it well to describe briefly the nature of the documents which we have been privileged to examine, as well as to indicate the principles which have guided us throughout. It has been a task of no ordinary difficulty. Her Majesty Queen Victoria dealt with her papers, from the first, in a most methodical manner; she formed the habit in early days of preserving her private letters, and after her accession to the Throne all her official papers were similarly treated, and bound in volumes. The Prince Consort instituted an elaborate system of classification, annotating and even indexing many of the documents with his own hand. The result is that the collected papers form what is probably the most extraordinary series of State documents in the world. The papers which deal with the Queen's life up to the year 1861 have been bound in chronological order, and comprise between five and six hundred volumes. They consist, in great part, of letters from Ministers detailing the proceedings of Parliament, and of various political memoranda dealing with home, foreign, and colonial policy; among these are a few drafts of Her Majesty's replies. There are volumes concerned with the affairs of almost every European country; with the history of India, the British Army, the Civil List, the Royal Estates, and all the complicated machinery of the Monarchy and the Constitution. There are letters from monarchs and royal personages, and there is further a whole series of volumes dealing with matters in which the Prince Consort took a special interest. Some of them are arranged chronologically, some by subjects. Among the most interesting volumes are those containing the letters written by Her Majesty to her uncle Leopold, King of the Belgians, and his replies.1 The collection of letters from and to Lord Melbourne forms another hardly less interesting series. In many places Queen Victoria caused extracts, copied from her own private Diaries, dealing with important political events or describing momentous interviews, to be inserted in the volumes, with the evident intention of illustrating and completing the record.
