Excerpt from The Queens of England and Their Times, Vol. 1 of 2: From Matilda, Queen of William the Conqueror, to Adelaide, Queen of William the Fourth As these volumes comprise the Lives of thirty-eight Queens - lives which extend over a period of eight centuries, from the age of feudality, chivalry, and romance, to that of steam-boats, railways, and electric telegraphs; it can scarcely be hoped that they are exempt from occa sioual error.

However, it is hoped that, on examination, these errors, or omissions, will be found to be neither many nor important. Whatever they may be, they certainly are accidental, and not intan tional. To render the work complete and accurate, no efforts have been spared; and as the author has been unbiassed by party partiality. And.
