TitleIllustrated London News 1866 vol.48 page 142DescriptionThe excerpt - which we are assuming is from a Queen’s Speech, as it is the only portion available and is written in the monarch’s voice - announces that papers on New Zealand will be presented and that most British troops there are being recalled.
