Excerpt from The Days of Queen Anne To the students of history and of literature alike, the age of Queen Anne is a subject of special interest and importance. It was the Augustan age of English literature and of French as well. It was a period of great conflicts in arms, of fierce controversy in the political world. It was a time of marvelous advancement in science. It was a formative period which influences to a notable degree the daily life of the present time. We see this influence in our architecture and our house furnishings; in our proverbial expressions and our habits of thought; even in our dress and our manners. "Robinson Crusoe" and "Gulliver's Travels" are still the delight of childhood. Newton and Locke are still studied in our colleges. "The Spectator" is still the model of English prose. Pope's couplets are still a part of our practical philosophy. All classes of people throughout the English-speaking world are living in the light of that marvelous era; and wherever the French language is spoken the influence of the Augustan age is felt to-day as it is among ourselves. When Macaulay undertook to write a history of England which should compete in interest with "the last novel," there was the keenest anticipation of his work relating to the age of Queen Anne. Unfortunately, his history stopped abruptly with the death of William the Third - the very day on which Queen Anne became the sovereign of the "three kingdoms." The magnificent work of Macaulay, as left thus, is practically the history of a single reign, with a brief review of the period preceding it. The world has not ceased to mourn the untimely death of the man best qualified to write the history of the age of Queen Anne.

Excerpt from In Kings Houses: A Romance of the Days of Queen Anne "Nay, but tell me granny! Think you the King will ride to-day?" Dame Dorothy laughed as she drew out the shining flax, and then let it coil, a fine silver thread, around the spindle. Robin watched the process as he sat on the floor at her feet, and in the inter est of the moment he almost forgot the unanswered question. Yet the sight was by no means unfamiliar. It seemed to the child that Dame Dorothy was always spinning, spinning. But presently he bethought him. "You do not tell me," he cried, impatiently. "Will the King ride to-day?" The dame dropped the thread, and drew the child closer to her side. "The King? Truly, I know not. How should I?

Excerpt from Sandron Hall, or the Days of Queen Anne, Vol. 2 of 3 Canst thou recall some scene of bygone days, When as a child, and seated 'midst the flow'rs, The sweetest that the lap of earth displays, Thou didst not fear the frown of future hours? Or, like the lark, which singing, blissful flies From the green fields to heaven's purer blue, Thou - like that happy songster, sought the skies, To dream of pleasures bright as they were new? If in those moments some all-ruthless hand In wrath had swept each solace from thy sight, And seizing, left thee in a stranger land, Where all was dreary as Egyptian night, Would not thy heart have shrank beneath that blow, As leaves recoil from winter's lips of snow? After the incident related in the last chapter of the foregoing volume, it seemed as if Sandron plunged with renewed appetite into the vortex of dissipation.

Excerpt from Sandron Hall, or the Days of Queen Anne, Vol. 3 of 3 There are times from which we can command our life, When the soul sweeps the future like a glass, And coming things, full freighted with our fate, Jut out, dark, in the offing of the mind. Festus. In spite of all resistance, and stifling her cries, as recounted in the foregoing volume, the ruffians bore Corah to a small room on the ground floor at the rear of the house.

Excerpt from Sandron Hall, or the Days of Queen Anne, Vol. 1 of 3 It was yet so early that the trees cast long westward shadows over the dewy park, and, in some places, upon the still slumbering deer, while in the more open vistas small detachments from the dappled herds might be seen strolling forth to crop the newly-sprung and nutritious grass.

Excerpt from Queen Anne and Her Court, Vol. 2 Again and again this message reached St. J ames's. Anne's ladies at length ceased to trouble her with the news. It was more than she could endure, for dull she was indeed if her thoughts did not leap forward to the day when courtiers would in the same way watch her last agony, and post to her successor each symptom of the approaching end. Early in the morning came the courier of couriers. Who says men's thoughts are not written on their brows! When comes a great emergency - no need for words. Before a syllable was uttered, before one there had time to fall upon his knees before her, she knew that every thing was changed. Henceforth she could not breathe a wish but it was a command. She was the Queen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Queen Anne and Her Court, Vol. 1 England two little girls, each of whom in turn was crowned its queen.

Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Reign of Queen Anne These sketches were written a number of years ago for the American magazine the Century, but the publication of them was long delayed, and it was found in the end that their length was too great to be consistent with the amount of illustrations, which are a great feature of that magazine. In these circumstances literature had to give way to art, and the papers were 'cut' as remorselessly, but much more cleverly, than Mr. Puff's play, the thread of the narratives being skilfully retained, while all that an author prizes in the superfluous way of literary style or ornament was cleared away. In this succinct and concentrated form the Sketches of the Reign of Queen Anne have been reproduced in America in a handsome volume, which, were they important enough to tempt any critic, it might be amusing to compare with this present English edition, which contains the chapters as they were written, untouched by the stern scissors of a transatlantic Fate - who perhaps might be found to be a deity benevolent to the reader, and not, except to the author, the blind Fury with the abhorred shears.
