To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She says, " Try, and you will see." Next, that the East India Company might demur ; but the Queen assured her Minister that henceforward they must have European regiments, and that they could not be allowed to raise troops for themselves. Her Majesty adds with one of her tender womanly touches : " The present condition of the Queen's army is a pitiable one. The Queen has just seen in the camp at Aldershot regiments which after eighteen years' foreign service in most trying climates, had come ba...ck to England to be sent out, after seven months, to Crimea. Having passed through this destructive campaign, they have not been home for a year before they are to go to India for perhaps twenty years! This is most cruel and unfair to the gallant men who devote their services to the country, and the Government is in duty and humanity bound to alleviate their position." The Queen's influence prevailed, and on the 2 2d the Prince recorded in his diary, " The cabinet has at last adopted our suggestions for an increase of the army." The defenceless and crippled state of England at this time made the Cabinet as well as the Queen very uneasy.
