PREFACE
To her own people Queen Victoria was England itself, the emblem of the
realm and of the empire. 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 of purpose. Happy is the realm that can count on the list of its sovereigns one
whose career was so strongly marked by unfaltering faithfulness, by
honesty of aim, and by statesmanlike wisdom of action. EVA MARCH TAPPAN. WORCESTER, MASS.
February, 1903.
