Présentation de l'éditeur

"Her Majesty most graciously consented to supply notes on her childhood and youth, and at the same time to correct matters of fact, especially in reference to the period before her accession to the throne, and, more generally, throughout the volume. I am, therefore, enabled to present, for the first time, an accurate account of the childhood and youth of Queen Victoria." Richard Rivington Holmes
