throw new light en many deubtfpl passages. to bring forth fresh
facts, and to render every portion of our annals which she has de-
scribed an Interesting and valuable study. She has given a most
valuable contribution to the History of England, and we have no he-
sitation In affirming that no one can be said to possess an accurate
knowledge of the history of the country who has not stadied her
Lives of the Queens of England."—Morning Herald.
