Excerpt from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, From the Death of George III. To the Death of the Prince Consort, (1820-1861), Vol. 4: Being the Eighth and Concluding Volume of the Entire History; From the Overthrow of Louis Philippe to the Death of the Prince Consort This History concludes with the Death-of the Prince Consort; and we feel assured that the large space which has been devoted to a review of his life and character will not be deemed too large for a subj ect. So intimately connected with the improvement - social, moral, and intellectual - which the reign of Queen Victoria has witnessed. Such are a few of the more remarkable topics treated of in this Volume, but there are others of less. Renown, though not of less importance; such as the Parliamentary and Diplomatic History of Queen Victoria's reign, the History of Social Progress, Intellectual Advancement, Commercial Prosperity, and Manufacturing Industry, and a host of other topics which cannot be enumerated under any general categories. To each and all of these a space of this History is devoted, proportionate to their relative importance and interests.
