The contents a little shaken, with a touch of cracking in places, and lacking the front free endpaper are otherwise in good order. An account of the life of Victoria, Princess Royal (1840-1901), the eldest child of Queen Victoria, published on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Frederick of Prussia (later Frederick III) at the age of 17, and thus also containing details of the upcoming ceremony and the princess's future in Prussia.
