Excerpt from Henry the Eighth and His Court: An Historical Romance Is the Opinion of the authoress of this volume, the province of the Historical Romance is to show you the heart of history, and to bring near to you what else would stand so far off. Although some of its objects may be to throw light on the dark places of history, to group historical characters according to their internal natures, and to discover and expose the motives which impelled individual person ages to the performance of great acts, yet others more important re main. One of these is the presentation of history in a dramatic form and with'animated descriptions. It is of less consequence whether the personages actually spoke the words or performed the acts attributed to them; but it is nemary that those words and deeds should be in accordance with the spirit and character of such his torical personages, and nothing be attributed to them which they could not have spoken or done. The circumstances and events pre sented must be in accordance with historical tradition. Subsequent investigations, since these pages were given to the press, may have modified the historical aspect'of the character of Henry VIII., but it is sumcient to say that these were unknown at the time when the work was written, and the aim of the authoress has been to delineate that character as represented by the standard English historians.

Excerpt from Henry VIII and His Court, or Catharine Parr: An Historical Novel IT was in the year King Henry the Eighth of England that day once more pronounced himself the hap piest and most enviable man in his kingdom, for to-day he was once more a bridegroom, and Catharine Parr, the youthful widow of Baron Latimer, had the perilous happi ness of being selected as the king's sixth consort. Merrily chimed the bells of all the steeples of London, announcing to the people the commencement of that holy ceremony which sacredly bound Catharine Parr to the king as his sixth wife. The people, ever fond of novelty and show, crowded through the streets toward the royal palace to catch a sight of Catharine, when she appeared at her husband's side upon the balcony, to show herself to the English people as their queen, and to receive their homage in return. Surely it was a proud and lofty success for the widow of a petty baron to become the lawful wife of the King of England, and to wear upon her brow a royal crown! But yet Catharine Parr's heart was moved with a strange fear, her cheeks were pale and cold, and before the altar her closely compressed lips scarcely had the power to part, and pronounce the binding I will.

Excerpt from Henry VIII It is perhaps a matter rather for regret than for surprise that so few attempts have been made to describe, as a whole, the life and character of Henry VIII. No ruler has left a deeper impress on the history of his country, or done work which has been the subject of more keen and lasting contention. Courts of law are still debating the intention of statutes, the tenor of which he dictated; and the moral, political, and religious, are as much in dispute as the legal, results of his reign. He is still the Great Erastian, the protagonist of laity against clergy. His policy is inextricably interwoven with the high and eternal dilemma of Church and State; and it is well-nigh impossible for one who feels keenly on these questions to treat the reign of Henry VIII. in a reasonably judicial spirit. No period illustrates more vividly the contradiction between morals and politics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
