Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Royal Family of England, Vol. 1 of 2 To write anything like a complete history of the English Royal Family would be to write an extremely comprehensive History of England, as there have been few events in which England has been concerned in which her reigning family have not taken an active part. I have no such ambitious or far-reaching intention. What I propose to do is to give a short account of what I may call the private, as opposed to the public, history of the several Kings and Queens, of their children, and of such of their immediate descendants or relatives as have played any part in English History, or have lived in England; and in doing this I wish to avoid, as far as possible, reference to those great political events which arc in the province of regular historians, and are more or less known to all readers. Many of those of whom it will be necessary to speak are persons whose lives are bound up in the history of their country, whose minutest actions, so far as they arc known, are recorded in many histories and biographies, and over whose characters and motives there have been prolonged, and often acrimonious, discussions.
