Since the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837, Buckingham Palace has been the private London home of the royal family and the headquarters of the British monarchy. Subsequent generations have made their mark, but the Palace remains, in purpose and in essence, the creation of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.00Victoria was a modern and enlightened monarch, and introduced a number of innovations to the Palace, from the construction of the iconic East Front and elegant Ballroom to the new facilities of electricity and the telephone.00This book traces the transformation of Buckingham Palace from a relatively minor royal residence into a grand stage for state occasions, a symbol of the British monarchy and a national monument.
Excerpt from London in the Reign of Victoria: 1837-1897 Occupied as I have been in London matters all my life, I confess I did not think that the writing of this book would have been so difficult as I have found it to be. The material is so enormous and so scattered, so interesting and so varied, so surprisingly fascinating as one realizes that it relates to a single community, and that community having for its living place the capital of the British Empire, that it is enough to render diffident any student who is endowed with a sense of proportion. As it is, I have not produced the book I had intended, when first I undertook the task, at the request of my friend Mr. Holland Rose. But if it is another book, I still hope it will be found a useful one. That it will be considered adequate I dare not even hope. I might have done so much in other directions and have left undone so much that I have accomplished, will be everyone's opinion. Still, after a deal of consideration, I resolved to represent the London of Queen Victoria's reign as a London struggling to become worthy of her place. That is all she really is. Bad as things were in 1837 - and I think I have shown this sufficiently - bright and delightful as much of London life is, beautiful as London is, there is nothing yet which can be said to be in any way complete. Every country glories in its capital city, helps to make it beautiful, attractive, and prosperous. In Britain only has the capital to struggle on without help, almost, it might be said, with opposition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
