Excerpt from Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, or Philosophical Society of Great Britain, 1897, Vol. 29
Named after Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, it is fitting that the first words of the preface of this Volume of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, should contain an echo of that deeply loyal sentiment to which all Her Majesty"s subjects have sought to give expression in this year of Jubilee.
The following Address was presented by the Institute: -
To the Queen"s Most Excellent Majesty.
May it Please Your Majesty:
We, Your Majesty"s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the President, Council and Members of the Victoria Institute, gladly embrace the opportunity of once more approaching Your Majesty, and tendering our heartfelt congratulations on the completion of the sixtieth year of Your Majesty"s beneficent reign.
We acknowledge with thankfulness that in the growth of the Empire abroad, in large measures of benevolent legislation at home, in Literature and in the investigation of the truths of Philosophy and Science (with which it is this Institute"s privilege to be specially connected), Your Majesty"s reign may confidently challenge comparison with those of our greatest and most illustrious Sovereigns.
