Publisher's Synopsis
""An Appeal to Prince Albert: On a Great Constitutional Question"" is a book written by an anonymous author who was a member of the Middle Temple in 1840. The book is a plea to Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, to intervene in a constitutional crisis that was unfolding in Britain at the time. The crisis centered around the question of whether the Queen had the power to refuse the advice of her ministers. The author argues that the Queen does have this power, and that it is essential to the proper functioning of the British government. The book is a passionate defense of the constitutional principles of the British system of government, and a call to action for Prince Albert to use his influence to ensure that those principles are upheld. It is a fascinating glimpse into the political and constitutional debates of the time, and a reminder of the importance of constitutional principles in any system of government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
