Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 183: Or Critical Journal: For January, 1896; ..April, 1896; To Be Continue Quarterly The year which. is just commencing promises to be famous in English history. In the course of the ensuing summer Her Majesty will complete the fifty-ninth year of her reign; in the course of the following autumn she will have reigned for a longer period than any monarch who has ever occupied the throne of these islands. A reign of nearly sixty years - a period almost covering two generations - is in itself sufficiently remarkable. But the length of the Queens reign, noteworthy as it is, is the least memorable thing about it. In no other sixty years of the world´s history - we might almost say in no six hundred years of the world´s history - has there been so much moral and material progress as the people of this country have experienced since the Queen came to the throne. Let us try, in the narrow limits of an article, to recapitulate some of the more striking features in this progress; and let us take, in the first instance, the population of our own islands. When the Queen came to the throne there were some 26,000,000 persons living in the United Kingdom, nearly 18,000,000 of whom were in Great Britain and 8,000,000 of whom were in Ireland. In the middle of the present year there will probably be some 39,500,000 persons in these islands, of whom 35,000,000 will be in Great Britain, and 4,500,000 in Ireland.
