Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Anne Anne's parentage was illustrious in more than the heraldic sense. Of her two grandfathers, one would have been thought by all men capable of reigning if he had never reigned, and the other wrote books which are still read with delight by all lovers of good literature, or of history at first hand. Charles the First had some kingly qualities, among them the fatal belief that a King of England could be above the law. Of art and letters he was a careful student, and an excellent judge. His Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Edward Hyde, afterwards Earl of Clarendon, the father of Queen Anne's mother, was a man of high character and great abilities, an honour to the Royalist cause, and to the profession of letters. His Autobiography, still more than his Rebellion, has a permanent fascina tion even for those readers who look upon the Long Parliament as the saviour of English freedom.

Book excerpt: 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?

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Life in the Reign of Queen Anne: Taken From Original Sources The almost total absence of domestic news in the news papers has compelled me to draw largely on the essays and de scriptive books of the time, and in one or two instances I have ventured to transcribe (as in the case of Misson) from works published, or written, two or three years before Anne actually reigned - but the facts were precisely the same as then obtained, so that much has been gained thereby. The Illustrations might, undoubtedly, have been made more artistic and unreal but I have carefully taken them from contemporary prints, and prefer to present them in all their uncouthness and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of Queen Anne, Vol. 1 of 2 One of the poets of the later Victorian literature, William Morris, has told in his melodious verso the story of the "Man born to be King," the idea of which is taken from that rich treasure-house of fantasy, the Gesta Romanorum. The story, however, is very different from that which begins under the heading of this first chapter - the story of the Woman born to be Queen. William Morris's hero becomes king in default of every hereditary claim to such a position and in despite of all disadvantages, difficulties, and seeming impossibilities, just because nature had endowed him with the special gifts which are sure to win for their owner a complete success. Queen Anne, on the contrary, was born to be a queen, and under no other conditions could have had the slightest chance of becoming the ruler of a great monarchy. Anne was the last of the Stuart sovereigns. She was the second daughter of James the Second by his first wife, Anne Hyde, who was the daughter of Edward Hyde, afterwards Earl of Clarendon, the famous lawyer, politician, and historian.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church and State in England to the Death of Queen Anne His verdicts upon movements and characters, given with full knowledge and in trenchant words, must speak for themselves. It is deeply to be regretted that death has deprived us of Dr. Gwatkin's delineation of the men and the events of the eigh teenth and nineteenth centuries. It would have been impartial and philosophical, and would have inculcated the lesson, never more needed than by our own generation, that progress is divinely ordered to come through change, and that in the life of a national Church no phase can be final. The book, as it is printed, represents almost exactly Dr. Gwatkin's manuscript. A few dates that he had left blank have been filled in, a few obvious lapses of the pen have been corrected. Otherwise, everything stands as he left it. So far as it had gone, the volume was practically ready for publication, and it would have been presumptuous to supply omissions that were no doubt deliberate, or to modify the assertions and judgments of a scholar so distinguished as Dr. Gwatkin.
