| Description | Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, as throughout, starts from the basis that it is a question simply between Denmark and Germany, and that the rights of the Duchies have nothing to do with it. Yet the resistance of Hungary and Lombardy are considered as national movements. Queen Victoria sanctions the draft, but thinks that in framing a Constitution for Schleswig, due regard should be had for her interests by consulting the wishes and feelings of the people. |
