Notes

  • Queen Victoria donated three copies of this title to her subjects in New South Wales, one each to The Sydney University Library, the Parliamentary Library of Sydney, and the Public Library of Sydney. They were given as 'as tokens of the interest with which her Majesty regards the development of institutions which tend to the spread of knowledge and intelligence in her colonial possessions, and because she believes that these records of the earlier days of their Sovereign and the Prince Consort will not fail to be valued by her subjects in New South Wales.' ('Royal Donation of Books'. The Empire, 5210 (1 August, 1868): 4)

    The copy donated to the Public Library of Sydney is now held by the State Library of New South Wales. The books bear the inscription: 'Presented to the Public Library of Sydney, by Victoria, Windsor Castle, March 1868'.

An extensive review of Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands..., including extracts. The review concludes: It is by quotation that we can best give any idea of the character of a work the value of which is less in its intrinsic than its relative merit, as the simple record of the inner life of a Queen, who in such life was certainly not least queenly.'

The Freeman's Journal reproduces the Dublin Weekly News's critique of Queen Victoria's Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands from 1848 to 1861: To Which Are Prefixed and Added Extracts from the Same Journal Giving an Account of Earlier Visits to Scotland and Tours in England and Ireland, and Yachting Excursions.

The Irish newspaper declares the publication ‘utterly destitute of pretensions to literary merit’ and believes that ‘a similar narrative written by anyone else would be spoken of … contemptuously by the press, if indeed it would be dignified by notice at all’.
