	Queen Victoria and the challenge of Roman Catholicism. - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Victoria felt less troubled by actual converts to Rome than by the followers of Edward Bouverie Pusey, who insisted on transforming the Anglican Church from within, and during the next several decades she strongly discouraged successive prime ministers from recommending "Puseyites or Romanisers" as Church of England bishops.
		Victoria and Louise had first met in 1835, and the young princess was immediately attracted to her new aunt.
		Victoria's failure in her later years to draw on the fund of loyalty that she had initially uncovered in Ireland has been called the gravest political error of her life, but what was remarkable about her visit to Dublin in April 1900 was how relatively few were the boos that intermingled with the cheers.

	Longford's Mills
		In 1433-4 only one mill, the corn mill at Longford, was being farmed, but the malt mill was almost certainly still working since barley malt was being produced and there was at this time a thatched malthouse on the manor.
		One water-mill only at Longford was rented in 1493-4 but in 1501 Harmondsworth Mills, comprising a wheat mill and a malt mill in two houses at Longford, and the fishery of the mill stream, were leased by Winchester College to John Smallbroke of Longford, who received a livery of clothing from the college.
		Longford Mills are mentioned in 1583 and 1587, but Edward Fitzgarret was returned in a rental of 1587 as holding the only mill.

	Queen Victoria
		Victoria's long reign witnessed an evolution in English politics and the expansion of the British Empire, as well as political and social reform on the continent.
		The author notes that the Queen was terribly sullen and uninterested in the concerns of foreign affairs, since her husband died in December 1861, and the key years of the American Civil War occurred during this time of her mourning.
		Topics that are covered in great detail include; the courtship of Albert and Victoria, their wedding on February 10, 1840, the birth of their first daughter, and the Queen's reaction to the Prince Consort's untimely death.

	Raymond Longford (1878-1959) and Lottie Lyell (1890-1925)
		Adapted by Longford from a popular stage melodrama in which he had toured with Lyell the year before, it was filmed in a local artist’s studio with the roof removed to allow light from the sun.
		Longford and Lyell’s next venture was a dramatic turning-point in their careers and a film that emerged as a masterpiece.
		The triumph of Longford’s film, usually considered Australia’s greatest silent film, was a watershed in the formation of the Australian identity, with a focus on the working class that seemed to embody the democratic spirit of the new nation.

	William Lamb, the 2nd Viscount Melbourne, 1779-1848
		Victoria took his lessons to heart and dutifully copied them in her journal.
		For instance, when Victoria inaccurately accused her mother's unmarried maid of honor Flora Hastings of being pregnant (based on an abdominal swelling due to cancer), Melbourne was insensitive to Hastings and her family's humiliation, and when the episode became public, opinion swung strongly against him and the Queen.
		After he left office, Victoria's new sober-minded advisers discouraged Melbourne from having even an innocuous correspondence with the Queen, and due to their influence and her growing self-confidence, Victoria seemed to minimize the unique part he played in her life.

		Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 and died in 1901 at the age of nearly eighty-two.
		Victoria and her ministers are brought vividly to life, as are all those whom the Queen came to know, to love, dislike, revere or denigrate, from her mother's friend Sir John Conroy to her own adored husband, Prince Albert, who patiently endured her petulant tantrums.
		By showing Victoria through the eyes of her family, household and ministers, Hibbert manages to deal impartially with the many "grey areas" of Victoria's life - the "John Brown" rumours, for example, are dealt with in a very informative and unbiased manner.

	VDS-4
		According to Lady Elizabeth Longford, “A cloud of worry and bewilderment henceforth overhung the Queen caused by her oft-repeated and perfectly correct belief that hemophilia was ‘not in our family’--meaning the House of Hanover.
		As Victoria watched this scourge fell her own son, then grandsons, then great-grandsons, the most powerful woman in the world could only lament, “Our poor family seems persecuted by this awful disease (Aronson, 172).” The first to die of hemophilia was Leopold in 1884, at the age of twenty-nine.
		Victoria had hopes that her pretty little granddaughter would marry “the heir but one” to the British throne, Prince Albert Victor, Bertie’s son.

		While the report of the Longford royal commission blasts Esso for failing to provide a safe env ironment for its workers, it's clear Esso was allowed to operate in a lax regulatory environment, one not unique to Victoria.
		At the time of the Longford explosion, Esso's licence to keep dangerous goods had expired, an offence under the Dangerous Goods Act, but this, according to the Royal Commission, was the fault of the Victoria WorkCover Authority, an organisation not unused to criticism.
