William IV. VICTORIA. We begin with the Best Known, or Victoria, and we take note that she is an independent Queen, since she has never shared sovereignty with anyone; but Mary, of “William III. and Mary,” was not an independent Queen, because she did share the Sovereign Power with her husband. Hereafter, when I use the word Queen I mean an inde- pendent Queen, except when Mary, of “William III. and Mary,” is mentioned, and her name will be used only in connection with William III. England has had only four independent Queens, namely, Mary [Tudor], Elizabeth, Anne, and Victoria. (I.) Victoria is the last queen and Mary was the first queen [Exclusion between first and last^ or Ex.], and Mary, theyfrj-/queen, was preceded by the last Edward, or Edward VI. [Ex.] And Mary, theyfrj-/queen, was followed by the first and only Elizabeth [In.] And the first and only Elizabeth was followed by James the FU'st, or I. [In.] Agai n, Queen Elizabeth was followed by King James, making a clear case of Ex. Again, Anne, the third queen, was preceded by Wm. the Third., or HI., and Mary [In.] 3
