Excerpt from Britain's Genius: A Mask, Composed on Occasion of the Marriage of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg
Madam,
I assume to myself the high honour of dedicating the two following compositions to your Majesty; and I venture to do so, without soliciting your royal permission, because one of them, on the present occasion of your marriage, has, necessarily, an immediate reference to your own sacred person. I have only to hope that my presumption will be pardoned on this account, as also from internal evidence, which will, I trust, be found in the composition itself, (however it may fall below the dignity of the subject,) that I have been actuated by sentiments of the purest loyalty, and by the most sincere wishes for the happiness of your Majesty, and your Royal Consort.
I have the honour,
Madam,
To be, with profound respect,
Your Majesty's loyal Subject,
and most humble Servant,
R. Kennedy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author is a celebration of the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The occasion incites the author to reflect on the nature of royalty, and the importance of both public and private virtues in a ruler. These reflections take the form of a poetic dialogue between the Spirit of Britain and other allegorical figures, including fairies and other spirits of nature. These beings discuss the qualities of a good ruler, and the importance of ruling with wisdom, justice, and compassion. Ultimately, the book concludes that a ruler's greatest strength lies in their ability to embody the virtues of their people, and to lead by example in both their public and private lives. This book contributes to the body of literature on British history and the nature of monarchy, and provides a unique and poetic perspective on the importance of virtue in leadership. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331590804_0
