Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 1: With Anecdotes of Their Courts, Now First Published From Official Records and Other Authentic Documents, Private as Well as Public A long and dangerous illness delayed the publication of the first series. Meantime, the title I had chosen was appropriated by another writer, and. Under that very title, memoirs have been published of some of the queens whose biographies, in regular and unbroken succession, are comprised in the present series of the Lives of the Queens of England. Biography, however, especially when historically treated, is a widely extended field, to which all labourers are freely welcomed, in this intelligent age of inquiry. Such opposite views. Indeed, are taken of the same events and characters, by persons of differently constituted minds, that the cause of truth is sure to be benefited, when the re search of several writers is directed to the same subjects.
