The following book is a collection of letters that showcased impressions of William IV and Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen who were King and Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland as well as Hanover from 26 June 1830 until William's death in 1837. William's marriage, which lasted almost twenty years until his death, was a happy one. Adelaide took both William and his finances in hand. For their first year of marriage, the couple lived in economical fashion in Germany.
