Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Women Their History and Romance "History is the essence of innumerable biographies." So says Carlyle. It was the author's purpose when these lectures were written to place before the audience in a new light some of the women who have helped to make up the world's history. No effort was made to prepare such as would be suitable for school-room or study class, in which every date must be absolutely correct, every fact beyond question. These things lie within the province of the text-book. The author takes for granted that the great historic events are known to all, and has therefore endeavored to use history solely to illustrate character. It is the charm of history that no matter how well we may know the facts - the bricks and mortar, as it were, that have builded the historical fabric - we turn with eagerness to any new information which a little research may bring to light, even though it add slightly to our former knowledge. It is the private life of royal personages which interests us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tower or Throne: A Romance of the Girlhood of Elizabeth Pon a wild March night, nearly three hundred years ago, a man lurked under a window Of a gloomy castle, and awaited a signal from one within. It was a bitter night, and, as the man crouched close to the wall, he muttered to himself, and ground his teeth in impatient fury. At last, when three O'clock of the morning had passed, the window above was Opened and a woman's hand, slim and white, dropped down through the gloom a sapphire ring. No word was spoken, the shining circlet was enough. The watcher groped for and found the signal in the grasses at his feet; then he mounted, with all speed, a horse which had been tethered near by, and rode like mad through the storm and darkness, to bear the news to Scotland's king, that Elizabeth, the mighty queen, was dead; and that he now reigned in her stead.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the reign of George 11. There lived a Wiltshire gentle man, named Paul Methuen, who had a passion for reading the weary dreary novels of his time. Queen Caroline loved to rally him on this weakness, and one day asked him what he had last been reading. May it please your Majesty, said Paul, I have been reading a poor book on a poor subject, the kings and queens of England. As far as the quality of the book is concerned, I shall, perhaps, be found to have furnished one which might be catalogued in Paul Methuen's words to Caroline. If any portions of its contents escape such characterising, it will probably be those which I have cited in the words of writers who were sometimes the Witnesses of, at others the actors in, the scenes they describe. Whatever there is of merit, it is only there to be found, and I have no part therein. I am not like those dull old Roman gentlemen, who nightly attended sociable parties, whither, being witless themselves, they took their wittiest slaves to amuse the.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England of the House of Hanover, Vol. 1 The guest of Polycrates, who ran away from his host because he was for ever fortunate, was like one of those critics, of the Jeremy Collier school, who cannot witness a modest success without, to speak metaphorically, trying to slit the nose of the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Royal Lovers and Mistresses: The Romance of Crowned and Uncrowned Kings and Queens of Europe And thus I pondered weak and weary, linking fancy unto fancy until I fell asleep. Something similar to what once befell Coleridge must have happened to me. Coleridge was reading about Kubla Khan and his palace and stately garden, when he fell asleep, and during that sleep he composed not less than three hundred lines. When he awoke his recollection was so vivid that he wrote down the whole of the poem. If I but possessed Cole ridge's genius I would fain write down all I heard and saw in my sleep, but alas my recollection is not as good as Coleridge's, neither am I able to give such a fine de scription of what I saw. I shall relate my vision, but in a very inadequate manner. Here it is. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
