1807Best.-Nr. 11915Philadelphia 1807. 86pp bound in attractive modern plain wrappers. Tanned scattered fox Good. Dedicated "To Those Members of Congress Who Have the Sense to Perceive and the Spirit to Pursue the True Interests of their Country" the pamphlet attacks English invasions of American sovereignty. Referring to the British ship Leopard's assault on the Chesapeake the author says that "The attempt to search a public ship of war appears to us unjustifiable; and more especially so on our own coast." The author predicts correctly that the British would offer reparations and thus avoid war over the incident; and offers unflattering opinions on Jefferson-- "a schemer perpetually occupied with some strange out-of-the-way project"-- and Madison "a man of feeble mind."

On June 20 1837 King William IV died and his niece Princess Victoria became Queen at the age of 18. Her coronation was held at Westminster Abbey a year later on June 28 1838; this panorama illustrates her procession to Westminster. The coronation was a huge occasion for celebration and four hundred thousand visitors descended upon London to see the new Queen being crowned. In her diary the nineteen-year-old Victoria set down an account of this the greatest day in her young life: "I was awoke at four o'clock by the guns in the Park and could not get much sleep afterwards on account of the noise of the people bands etc. etc. Got up at seven feeling strong and well; the Park presented a curious spectacle crowds of people up to Constitution Hill soldiers bands etc. I dressed having taken a little breakfast before I dressed and a little after. At half-past nine I went into the next room dressed exactly in my House of Lords costume." "At 10 I got into the State Coach with the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Albemarle and we began our progress. It was a fine day and the crowds of people exceeded what I have ever seen; Their good humour and excessive loyalty was beyond everything and I really cannot say how proud I feel to be the Queen of such a nation. ". After the ceremony At about half-past four I re-entered my carriage the Crown on my head and the Sceptre and Orb in my hands and we proceeded the same way as we came-the crowds if possible having increased. The enthusiasm affection and loyalty were really touching and I shall ever remember this day as the PROUDEST of my life! I came home a little after six really not feeling tired. At eight we dined." "On the day of Queen Victoria's coronation four hundred thousand visitors descended on London to see the new queen.
