  Notes

  i

  Her first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, was later to comment, 'She is far too open and candid in her nature to pretend to one atom more knowledge than she really possesses ... and yet, as the world goes, she would, as any girl, have been considered accomplished, for she speaks German well and writes it; understands Italian, speaks French fluently, and writes it with great elegance' (Benson and Esher, The Letters of Queen Victoria, ist Series, i, 256: memorandum of George Anson, 15 January 1841).
