This nine-volume selection from the letters of Queen Victoria, with
ancillary material, was commissioned by her son, Edward VII, and
published between 1907 and 1932, with a gap of almost twenty years
between the third and fourth volumes. The editors of the first
three volumes, the poet and writer A. C. Benson (1862-1925) and the
second Viscount Esher (1852-1930), administrator and courtier,
decided that the plan for the selection of letters from the
thousands available (bound in volumes, with many of the early ones
indexed by the Prince Consort) should be to publish 'such documents
as would serve to bring out the development of the Queen's
character and disposition, and to give typical instances of her
methods in dealing with political and social matters'. The volumes
are arranged chronologically from Victoria's first known letter,
written when she was nine, to her last journal entry, nine days
before her death in 1901.
