The Queen's Life.
It ig many years now since the Queen published her last book. But next yea;-, to celebrate th 9 longest reign in English history, Her Ma jesty will appear once more before her people in what will be in everything bat form almost an autobiography. The volume announced by Messrs Boussod, Valadon, and Co., entitled "Queen Victoria," and nominally by Richard R. Holmes, F.S.A., librarian to the Queen," will really embody to a large extent matter personally contributed, dictated, and revised by the Queen herself. In this book various missfcatements as to the Queen's childhood, education, and early years on the throne will be corrected by royal authority, and the whole story will be told of Her Majesty's reign as her Majesty herself looks back on it. Her Majesty is taking the greatest interest in the preparation of the work. She has ordered every facility to be given for the illustrations to be reproduced, both from pictures, and from the royal palaces, where in some cases the rooms and furniture are to be specially put back into the condition of earlier years in order to be photographed ; and she has consented to examine every detail in the book while it is in progress.
