PREFACE. HE Romance of the History of England was the first of a THE series of historical Tales, including France, Italy, Spain, India, &c., which obtained great popularity when issued. The copyright having passed to the present publishers, they have considered that they will add to the literary pleasure of another generation by reproducing them in a compact form, and each complete in a single volume, with the original illustrations. The text of the narratives has been left intact, but where modern historical research has shown that the Fiction varies too palpably from the Fact, notes have been added. |
