| Summary | "A Sketch of how 'The Diamond Anthem' was Sung around the World by Barlow Cumberland" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the extraordinary events surrounding the celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in June 1897, emphasizing the unity and loyalty of British subjects across the Empire. The book likely focuses on the innovative concept of a worldwide simultaneous singing of the National Anthem as a tribute to the Queen. The narrative captures the meticulous planning and execution of this historic event, which began at Windsor Castle and spread across various British colonies and territories, creating a "wave of song" around the globe. Through detailed reports and letters, Cumberland highlights participation from diverse communities, showing the anthem's anthem's journey from Fiji to Canada and beyond, as it symbolized shared allegiance and patriotism among the members of the Empire. The book serves as a testament to the fervent loyalty of the Empire's citizens and their collective celebration of a significant royal milestone, marking an unparalleled moment in history.
