Edward Vernon Utterson (born circ. 1775, died 14th July 1856)
was the son of John Utterson of Fareham in Hampshire. He was
educated at Eton and Cambridge, and in 1802 was called to
the bar. He was all his life a great collector of books. Mr.
Utterson set up a private press at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight,
known as the Beldornie Press, and here he reprinted such of the
early English plays and poems as pleased him. He also edited a
number of reprints of important English books, some of which
are very handsomely produced.

The Princess Victoria (born 24th May 1819, died 22nd
January 1901) was the only child of Edward, Duke of Kent,
fourth son of George III., and Victoria Marie Louisa of
Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield. On the death of William IV., 18th June
1837, the Princess Victoria succeeded to the throne of England.
Queen Victoria was crowned at Westminster on 20th June 1838,
and on the 1st January 1877 Her Majesty was proclaimed Empress
of India, at Delhi. On the 10th February 1840, Queen Victoria
married her cousin Albert, the youngest son of Ernest, Prince
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
On the accession of Queen Victoria to the English throne,
the Kingdom of Hanover became separated from England, in
consequence of the operation of the Salic Law. The coat-of-arms
of the dominions in Germany was accordingly left out of the
Royal coat. The Duke of Cumberland, the Queen's uncle, became
King of Hanover, which country is now part of the German Empire.
