Book excerpt: Excerpt from Court and Society From Elizabeth to Anne, Vol. 1 of 2 These chapters on the Court and Society from Elizabeth and Anne are based upon papers, of which nearly all the originals are at Kimbolton. A few are in the Record Office: one very curious paper is in the Private Cabinet of the Empress Eugenie; and a very important series are at Simancas. These papers are described in the text. It was at first intended to offer but a slight sketch of Catharine of Aragon - just enough to exhibit the domestic and social position of Elizabeth when a girl. But the unexpected wealth of historical illustration which the Spanish archives yielded to the explorer sent out by our Government, suggested a more ample portrait of that noble and romantic Queen. It is hoped that the reader will not object to receive a little more than is promised on the title-page. For the account of Queen Catharine and for information concerning many of the persons and occurrences alluded to in the work, the Editor is indebted to the historical knowledge and literary skill of Mr. W. Hepworth Dixon, and Dr. Doran; to whom he begs to tender his thanks for assistance which so greatly increases the interest of these volumes.
