HC Deb 27 June 1837 vol 38 c1660
Lord John Russell

brought up her Majesty's Answer to the Address voted to her Majesty upon the demise of the late King, and upon her Majesty's accession to the Throne; which, as far as we could collect it, in consequence of the low tone in which his Lordship read it, was to the following effect:—

"Victoria Regina.

"I have received, with the most sincere satisfaction, the loyal and dutiful Address of the House of Commons with the assurance of their great grief at the loss the nation has sustained in the demise of his late Majesty. The expectations that I have always entertained have been realised by that Address; and it will be the study of my life to preserve the liberties and maintain the glory of this great country. I receive with great satisfaction your loyal and dutiful Address, in which you state you will without delay proceed to the consideration of such measures and make such provision as the public service may require."
