Summary "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria; vol. 2 of 4" by Robert Wilson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the significant events and policies during the reign of Queen Victoria, focusing on colonial reform, financial issues, as well as the royal family's dynamics and duties. The work provides a rich exploration of the political and social landscape of the time, offering insight into the complexities of Victorian governance and the Queen's personal involvement. The opening of this volume introduces readers to critical political discussions in Britain, particularly regarding self-governance for the colonies and financial reform led by notable figures like Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Cobden. It highlights the tension between the Whig government and emerging calls for colonial autonomy, as well as the struggle between different factions in Parliament regarding fiscal policies. Additionally, it touches on the personal lives of the royal family, including the education of the Prince of Wales, set against the backdrop of ongoing debates about governance, national identity, and economic challenges during Queen Victoria's reign.
