QUEEN ELIZABETH'S 

 MAIDS OF HONOUR 



And Ladies of the Privy Chamber 

 By VIOLET A. WILSON 



Illustrated. Second Edition. Demy 8vo, I2S. 6d. net 



Sunday Times. — "This handsome and well-illustrated volume 

 performs even better than its title promises. It not only gives 

 full and entertaining biographies of various members of that 

 extremely interesting group, Elizabeth's Maids of Honour, but a 

 good deal of biographical and historical matter that is not closely 

 germane to the ladies in question." 



Westminster Gazette.— '■'■ Miss Wilson draws an interesting 

 picture full of gaiety and intrigue." 



Daily Telegraph.—''' Her narrative is based upon wide re- 

 search, and many of her stories, especially those of the Ladies 

 Catherine and Mary Grey are full of genuine pathos." 



Pall Mall Gasette.— "Th& book is really a very interesting 

 picture of life in those far-off times wherein human nature, at 

 least, differed not a whit from our own." 



Daily Mail.— " A. lively and amusing account of the bevy of 

 fair women attached to Elizabeth and incidently of her Court and 

 manner. . . . One of the great finds of the book is its account 

 of what must have been the first game of lawn tennis ever played 

 on one of the lawns of Elvetham, Hants."
