Queen Victoria: Scenes and Incidents Of Her Life & Reign
By T. Frederick Ball
Published by S.W. Partridge & Co : London 1886-87

"Queen Victoria: Scenes and Incidents of Her Life & Reign by T. Frederick Ball, published by S.W. Partridge & Co in London, offers a narrative portrait of Queen Victoria's long reign through memorable episodes, personal anecdotes, and significant national events. Rather than focusing solely on politics or court affairs, Ball highlights the human side of the monarch, illustrating her character, values, and the way she connected with her subjects. The book recounts key milestones such as her accession, marriage to Prince Albert, family life, and the challenges she faced as both sovereign and widow, placing her experiences within the broader context of a rapidly changing 19th-century Britain.

Presented in a style accessible to the general reader of its time, the work emphasizes Queen Victoria's role as a moral and symbolic figure, whose personal life often reflected the ideals of the Victorian age itself. Ball combines descriptive storytelling with reverent admiration, portraying her as both a devoted mother and a steadfast queen who presided over the empire during moments of triumph and hardship. The book serves as both a historical record and a tribute, offering readers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries an engaging look at the monarch who defined an era."
