PREFACE
The subjects described in the following pages, have been chosen fromamong the almost unlimited number that present themselves to notice,during the stirring periods in which they are included, as theyappeared to lend interest and variety of incident, illustrative of thedays wherein they occurred. The concluding paper—not originallywritten for this series—extends into the era of the early Stuart, andhas claimed admission from the comparatively unique features of itshistory.
W. H. H. R.
"The Middle Ages had their wars and agonies, but alsointense delights. Their gold was dashed with blood; but ours is sprinkled withdust. Their life was inwove with white and purple, ours is oneseamless stuff of brown."
John Ruskin.
