"The book, indeed, is more comprehensive than its title implies.
Purporting to tell the life of the Prince Consort, it includes a
scarcely less minute biography--which may be regarded as almost an
autobiography--of the Queen herself; and, when it is complete, it
will probably present a more minute history of the domestic life
of a queen and her 'master' (the term is Her Majesty's) than has
ever before appeared."--_From the Athenaeeum._

"Mr. Martin has accomplished his task with a success which could
scarcely have been anticipated. His biography of Prince Albert
would be valuable and instructive even if it were addressed to
remote and indifferent readers who had no special interest in the
English court or in the royal family. Prince Albert's actual
celebrity is inseparably associated with the high position which

moral and intellectual qualities which were singularly adapted to
the circumstances of his career. In any rank of life he would
probably have attained distinction; but his prudence, his
self-denial, and his aptitude for acquiring practical knowledge,
could scarcely have found a more suitable field of exercise than
in his peculiar situation as the acknowledged head of a
constitutional monarchy."--_From the Saturday Review._

"The author writes with dignity and grace, he values his

intimacy of his domestic narratives almost painful--he is
never once betrayed into a momentary indiscretion. The almost
idyllic beauty of the relation between the Prince Consort and
the Queen comes out as fully as in all previous histories of
that relation--and we have now had three--as does also a good
deal of evidence as to the Queen's own character, hitherto
always kept down, and, as it were, self effaced in publications
written or sanctioned by herself."--_From the London Spectator._

"Of the abilities which have been claimed for the Prince Consort,
this work affords us small means of judging. But of his wisdom,
strong sense of duty, and great dignity and purity of character,
the volume furnishes ample eviden
