Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Days of Charles II My primary object in putting pen to paper has been to establish the true cause of the death of Charles II. I have therefore confined myself, as far as practicable, in what follows, to such matters only as bear directly or indirectly on this question. It would have been impertinent in me to discuss controversial matter in connexion with the diplomacy, the religion, the character or the lack of it in the man, in spite of its supreme interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Courtier of the Days of Charles II: With Other Tales Dwelling alone at the hall as lady paramount of the vast estate, she fell not into the usual faults of female sovereignty. Her rule was neither arbitrary nor capricious. The afflictions and vexa' tions of life had subdued rather than soured her temper. The ancient servitors of the house adored their lovely mistress, - the tenants respected her, - the poor (save when in the lady's hearing) never named her without blessings; for Anne Lovell had a proud and generous spirit, and abided not the servility of overstrained gratitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rochester and Other Literary Rakes of the Court of Charles II: With Some Account of Their Surroundings The frivolities and the vices of the Court of Charles II. are notorious; but, in contemptuously dismissing its courtiers from notice with short and scanty mention, students of their period have, perhaps, scarcely given sufficient recognition to the existence among them of a set of more or less literary rakes, of whom Rochester may be selected as one of the most characteristic. It will not be pretended in these pages that this little clique of writing and rhyming companions of Charles II. had an important influence on English literature; yet they probably exercised upon it an influence of some sort; and their appearance in a Court abandoned to pleasure was somewhat phenomenal. In a study of the rakish side of the Court of Charles II., and even in a study of the literary aspects of that rakishness, it will be necessary to enter some unsavoury places, and to mix among some questionable companions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silver Key: A Romance of the Days of Charles II I remember it as well as yesterday - it began so innocently, this day which was to change my life for me. I remember riding out of Paris under a yellow sunset sky and autumn leaves that fluttered noiselessly down before my horse's very nose. I remember that one struck me in the face, and I shook my head in brief, almost childish annoyance. Ah, I was unused to annoyance then, or so slight a thing would not have disturbed me.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Condition of English Catholics Under Charles II At times, an interval of comparative calm, often due to political reasons, held in suspense the sword always unsheathed in readiness to strike the Papists. At other times a plot, real or pretended, served as a pretext for measures of the utmost severity and sent many innocent men to execution. Such was the dark drama which disgraced the reign of Charles II and of which the history is here related. Never perhaps was more clearly shown to what excesses of injustice and cruelty a nation may be driven by religious bigotry.
