First published 1875
The second of a two volume work looking at the lives of English queens in the Hanoverian period (1714-1901). This volume includes the conclusion of the life of Charlotte Sophia, wife of George III, Caroline of Brunswick, wife of George IV, and Adelaide of Saxe-Meinengen, wife of William IV. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This biography notably stops before the last of the Hanoverian Queens, Victoria, who continued to rule for 26 years after its publication.- Summary by LynneT
