The general reader knows little of the poignant history 

 of one of the most interesting daughters of the ill-fated 

 House of Stuart. 



A brief mention in English history is accorded to one 

 who in her lifetime was the centre of a web of intrigue. 

 Yet no more fascinating figure, no more perplexing life, 

 ever passed across the stage of history. 



Had the plots which surrounded her succeeded, the 

 history of our nation would in all probability have been 

 radically changed. To two successive sovereigns of 

 England, Elizabeth and James, her life constituted an 

 ever-present menace. Arabella Stuart became in turn 

 the hope of the Catholic party and the hope of those 

 patriots who wished to see an English Princess upon the 

 throne of England. She possessed in a marked degree 

 the fascination and romantic charm of her race, and was 

 able to enflame her contemporaries with the pity, indig- 

 nation, and blind devotion that was again and again 

 to be kindled by a Stuart in misfortune. 



The present volume aims to put before the reader 

 the manifold adventures, sorrows, love affairs, and in- 

 trigues which surrounded Arabella. The illustrations 

 are reproductions of famous pictures, and the informa- 

 tion is drawn from many sources, including original con- 

 temporary letters.
