 " These volumes have the fascinations of a romance, united to the integrity of history." — Lon- 

 don Times. 



" The details too personal and too minute for general history, contained in these volumes, give 

 them a peculiar charm." — Southern Literary Messenger, 

 "One of the best historical productions of our time." — Lady^s Book. 



" This work is not only one of the most delightfully entertaining books in the language, but it is 

 respected universally, on account of its great historical value. It abounds with anecdotes, illustra- 

 tive of the courtly manners and of the leading characters in every age of British history. It is an 

 exceedingly popular work." — Daily Chronicle. 



" The previous historical works of Miss Strickland, her zeal, impartiality, industry, and her chi- 

 valrous feeling towards the heroines of the olden time, all peculiarly fitted her for the writing of the 

 work before us. Her researches among the ancient books and archives have brought a great num- 

 ber of curious, interesting and important facts to light; and her perpetual reference to the descrip- 

 tions, letters, conversations, &c., of cotemporaneous personages give a freshness and spirit to each 

 of these 'Lives,' which will constitute their principal charm and their indisputable claim to popu- 

 lar favour. The work will be received by scholars as an invaluable addition to English history."
