THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE QUEEN ILLUSTRATED BEING AN HISTORICAL GUIDE TO THE STATE ROOMS, PICTURES, AND GARDENS BY Ernest Law, B.A. Barrister-at-Law Author of The History of Hampton Court Palace; The Royal Gallery of Hampton Court; Vandycks Pictures at Windsor Castle, etc. Notice.This Catalogue and Guide are copyright, and immediate proceedings in Chancery will be taken against any infringers thereof. LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1899 HE State Rooms of Kensington Palace, and likewise Queen Annes Orangery, will be open to the public every day in the week throughout the year, except Wednesdays, unless notice be, at any time, given to the contrary. HE following pages, compiled under the sanction of the Lord Chamberlain of Her Majestys Household and the First Commissioner of Her Majestys Works and Buildings, are intended to meet the requirements of visitors to the State Rooms of Kensington Palace, now open by command of the Queen to the inspection of the public during Her Majestys pleasure. This little book, therefore, is to be understood as aiming only at a descriptive and historical account of the particular parts of the building on viewnot, in any sense, as attempting a general history of the Palace. Nevertheless, the author may, perhaps, be permitted to say that, as far as his object extends, he has endeavoured to render the information here given as accurate and complete as possible, by devoting the same amount of time and labour to research and verification, as though he had been writing a book of a critical nature for a restricted circle of readers, instead of a mere handbook for ordinary sightseers. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
