Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agnes Strickland's Queens of England, Vol. 1 UP to Queen Anne, this work is based upon Agnes Strickland's Queens of England; but subsequent to that period many authorities have been consulted, and only such matter used as would seem appropriate. My first care was to prepare a narrative which should inter est young people, but I have endeavored also to produce a result that would prove a source, not only of pleasure, but of profit. The limits of the design make it evident that some eminent names and noteworthy events could receive slight mention, or none at all, and that politics could be introduced only when requisite for the compre hension of events that depended on them. It will be a satisfaction to hope that my readers may be prompted to independent inquiry. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
