Almost all of William IV's papers, official as well as private, were probably destroyed by his executors,1 and large quantities of George IV's either upon his death or nearly a century later.2 So, too, was a large quantity of Edward VIII's.3 Nor, in between, did Queen Victoria's papers survive entirely unscathed. The original manuscript of her diary, from the time of her accession to the throne, was destroyed by her youngest daughter, and the transcript the Princess had previously made both omitted substantial portions and amended others. The 111 manuscript volumes now extant apparently represent only about a third of the original.4 Other important parts of the Queen's papers are also known to have been destroyed, including correspondence with Lord Granville. The destruction even extended to other collections outside the Royal Archives, so-called "very Private" letters to Disraeli being weeded out from the Hughenden Papers and subsequently destroyed.5 Yet, overall, Queen Victoria's papers fared far better than those of her uncles or her son, amounting still, not merely to a formidable collection of private correspondence, but also to what one might almost describe, albeit with important qualifications, as a sort of National Archive in miniature. Walter Bagehot, in a famous passage, thus summed up the powers of the mid-century monarch in Britain: "To state the matter shortly, the sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as our own, three rights--the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn."6 When this was written, in the 1860s, Bagehot was stating an ideal rather than a fact; in practice Queen Victoria often claimed--and sometimes even exercised--more power than was indicated by constitutional niceties. In any event, her interest and activity accumulated a vast quantity of paper at Windsor. In addition to family letters and material relating to the affairs of the Royal Household, this included much correspondence with her ministers. The most important was, of course, that with her Prime Ministers, who not only had to consult her about ministerial and other appointments but also had to keep her regularly informed about governmental and political affairs in general so that she could properly perform her acknowledged constitutional role. Thus, in addition to the correspondence regarding the passing political questions of the day, there were also regular reports from her Prime Ministers both of 1 Sir Robin Mackworth-Young, "The Royal Archives, Windsor Castle," Archives, XIII (1978), pp. 117-128. Subsequent references are to this article, which, together with Mackworth-Young's later The Royal Archives and Prince Albert, Coburg, 1985, in the series of essays edited for the Prince Albert Society by A. M. Birke, gives a short but comprehensive summary of the Royal Archives and of the Victorian Archive in particular. 2 Sir Philip Magnus, King Edward the Seventh, London, 1964, p. 461. 3 Mackworth-Young, p. 124. 4 Ibid., p. 123. 5 Magnus, p. 461. 6 Walter Bagehot, The English Constitution, World's Classics ed., London, 1929, p. 67. the cabinet meetings and of proceedings in Parliament, and letters from other cabinet ministers regarding the affairs of their departments, from foreign monarchs and others regarding political as well as personal matters, and from a variety of other officials and private individuals. In many cases these were accompanied by drafts or copies of the Queen's replies and by important memoranda and other relevant papers. Apart from ministerial and parliamentary crises, which were by nature fitful, the Queen's principal interest was in foreign affairs. The sovereign indeed expected to see all incoming Foreign Office despatches and to approve everything sent out in her name. But even before Victoria's accession in 1837, the bulk was already too large for the task to be done in good time, if indeed at all. Already, therefore, the Foreign Secretary had resorted to sending her only selected correspondence and instructions, the latter not infrequently after they had already been despatched abroad and on the assumption that they could, if necessary, be recalled or amended en route. The young Victoria, moreover, was unable to cope with all that was expected of the sovereign and relied on Foreign Secretary Palmerston only a little less than on Prime Minister Melbourne. A couple of months after her accession, she requested the Foreign Secretary not to send her any more foreign despatches until she had finished those she already had.7 Shortly afterwards Palmerston directed that only "the most interesting" despatches should go to Windsor, an instruction amended at the Foreign Office to "interesting and romantic."8 When, the following summer, her first Ascot arrived, he minuted for the Foreign Office: "The less you send the Queen this next week...the better."9 But the Queen was by no means uninterested in foreign affairs, and already, though very tentatively, before the end of 1838 had complained to her Prime Minister that when he was not with her, she heard "nothing" about them.10 After her marriage in February 1840 to a foreign prince with decided views about the role of constitutional monarchy in Britain and a major interest in foreign affairs (as well as with many relatives abroad), this naive inquisitiveness escalated rapidly into personal and political confrontation. Prince Albert was the instrument by which his mentor Baron Stockmar hoped to see the British monarchy reformed and revitalized. "The Baron's idea of monarchy," wrote one of the Prince's biographers, "was that of a sovereign, wise and laborious, withdrawn from the sordid clash of party and exercising power which was unobtrusive but decisive."11 After three months of marriage, however, Prince Albert still found that he was "only the husband, and not the master in the house."12 For her part, Queen Victoria seemed as anxious as her ministers to exclude him from political business. "Albert helped me with the blotting paper when I signed," she wrote about transacting affairs of state a fortnight after her marriage.13 During her first confinement, however, Albert received and made notes for her about all cabinet business and in consequence was, with the Prime Minister's concurrence, given in December 1840 the keys to the secret boxes 7 Brian Connell, Regina v.

  • Mundella Papers Scope
    University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: MS 6 - 9, MS 22 Title: Mundella Papers Scope: The correspondence and other papers of Anthony John Mundella, Liberal M.P. for Sheffield, including other related correspondence, 1861 to 1932. Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson. The collection does not include any of the business archives of Hine and Mundella. Anthony John Mundella (1825-1897) was born in Leicester of an Italian father and an English mother. After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.

    Read the speech online: www.bundespraesident.de Page 1 of 6 Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the inauguration of the Robert-Blum-Saal with artworks depicting Germany’s history of democracy at Schloss Bellevue on 9 November 2020 According to legend, the last words of Robert Blum were “I die for freedom, may my country remember me.” He was executed – shot – by imperial military forces on 9 November 1848, one day before his 41st birthday. The German democrat and champion for freedom, one of the most well-known members of the Frankfurt National Assembly, thus died on a heap of sand in Brigittenau, a Viennese suburb. The bullets ended the life of a man who had fought tirelessly for a Germany unified in justice and in freedom – as a political publicist, publisher and founder of the Schillerverein in Leipzig, as a parliamentarian in the Paulskirche in Frankfurt, and finally with a gun in his hand on the barricades in Vienna. To the very last, Robert Blum fought for a German nation-state in the republican mould, legitimised by parliamentary structures. He campaigned for a brand of democracy in which civil liberties and human rights were accorded to one and all. And he fought for a Europe in which free peoples should live together in peace, from France to Poland and to Hungary. His death on 9 November 1848 marked one of the many turning points in our history. By executing the parliamentarian Robert Blum, the princes and military commanders of the Ancien Régime demonstrated their power and sent an unequivocal message to the Paulskirche National Assembly.

  • Victoria & Abdul
    Victoria & Abdul For those Anglophiles who want another immersion in the warm, luxurious stew of the British monarchy, look no further for your latest fix than “Victoria and Abdul,” an engaging if utterly predictable dip into late Victorianism by a whole passel of old British pros, plus an attractive newcomer. All you need to know is that Dame Judi Dench rules this film as Queen Victoria, way late in her reign, alienated from her son (the future Edward VII), sour as vinegar from her unending rule, and looking for some—any—breath of the novel and the fresh. As she herself admits when challenged in the film: ”I am cantankerous, greedy, fat; I am perhaps, disagreeably, attached to power.” Her relief comes in the form of one Abdul Karim, a young, literate Indian Muslim (Ali Fazal) who is selected to come to London from Agra in 1887 to deliver a special commemorative coin to Her Majesty on the occasion of her Golden Jubilee. Abdul is supposed to be invisible to the Queen, but instead he catches her eye, then her mood, and finally, her spirit to the point where he becomes her teacher, or “munshi,” in all things Muslim and Indian as well as serving as her clerk. Theirs is a relationship which appalls her family—including the Prince of Wales (a bombastic Eddie Izzard)— and the court—especially in the person of Sir Henry Ponsonby (the uptight Tim Pigott- Smith) but which lasted until the Queen’s death in 1901. Sound familiar? Of course, we are in the same realm as the earlier “Mrs.
