He found his greatest success, however, in the role of biographer to Prince Albert (1819–61). Commissioned by Queen Victoria to memorialise her late husband, this five-volume work was first published between 1875 and 1880. Intended as a continuation of the biography begun by Charles Grey (also reissued in this series), it has been described as 'less adulatory in tone than might be expected'. A treasury of letters and memoranda, it presents a detailed portrait of the character, words and deeds of a man whose life was necessarily immersed in the great events of his time. Volume 3 covers the period from 1854 to 1856 and deals extensively with the significant role played by Albert during the Crimean War.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo the Queen\u003cbr\u003e 51. 1854\u003cbr\u003e 52. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 53. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 54. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 55. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 56. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 57. 1854 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 58. 1854–5\u003cbr\u003e 59. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 60. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 61. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 62. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 63. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 64. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 65. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 66. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 67. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 68. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 69. 1855 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 70. 1856\u003cbr\u003e 71. 1856 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 72. 1856 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 73. 1856 - continued.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266136723736,"sku":"9781108059817","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059817i_d9c60b5f-7f48-4636-8d4d-374fa215d7a9.jpg?v=1696747460","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-his-royal-highness-the-prince-consort-paperback-9781108059817","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
