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 4 deals with the difficult period of 1856–9, which saw mutiny in India, worldwide commercial uncertainty, and the beginning of a decline in Albert's health.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTo the Queen\u003cbr\u003e 74. 1857\u003cbr\u003e 75. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 76. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 77. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 78. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 79. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 80. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 81. 1857 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 82. 1858\u003cbr\u003e 83. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 84. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 85. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 86. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 87. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 88. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 89. 1858 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 90. 1859\u003cbr\u003e 91. 1859 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 92. 1859 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 93. 1859 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 94. 1859 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 95. 1859 - continued\u003cbr\u003e 96. 1859 - 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":46266137215256,"sku":"9781108059824","price":42.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059824i_b763e0d7-a854-4d37-93fa-0b22e1d79794.jpg?v=1696747459","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-life-of-his-royal-highness-the-prince-consort-paperback-9781108059824","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
