The Queens Of England And Their Times Vol 1 Of 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Queens of England, Vol. 1 of 2 Queens we have all the information we could wish. Their tastes and their tempers, their sayings and doings on all notable occasions, and even their thoughts and feelings, have come down to posterity through the writings of trustworthy chroniclers; but in the case of their successors evidence is not so reliable, because from the outbreak of the Revolution in the time of Charles I. Until the establishment of the present dynasty every one who took pen in hand to record passing events was a warm partisan of one side or the other, either lauded all the Stuarts as though they were a family of saints and martyrs, or execrated them as wicked despots, traitors to their country, and unworthy of the least sympathy. Again, in the more recent past many private letters and domestic records of our Hanoverian Queens are still withheld from the gaze of the curious.
