LIVES OF THE PRINCESSES OF ENGLAND. VOL. HI.
BY MARY ANNE EVERETT GREEN, EDITOR OF TIIE " LET-
TERS OF ROYAL AND ILLUSTRIOUS LADIES."--The nobility
will no doubt look forward with great interest to the conti-
nuation of this interesting new series of regal biographies,
and the author of which has devoted ao many years of labour
research to their composition. Like the "Lives of the Queens
of England," they exhibit numerous curious and important
facts hitherto entirely unknown. The third volume, which
has just appeared, embraces an extended and remarkable
period of English history— from the First to the Fourth Ed-
ward. The life of Joanna of the Tower, the gentle and
true-hearted wife of David Bruce, leads through some of the
most stirring and memorable events recorded in the annals
of Scotland ; whilst the biographies of the daughters of Ed-
ward 111. are fraught with numerous incidents illustrative of
the chivalric spirit of the age. Of the eldest, Isabella, and
her gallant husband, Ingelrand Coucy, the details now given
are entirely new; and the same remark holds good in refer-
ence to the daughters of Henry IV. The generous courage
of the youngest of these princesses, Philippa, which proved
the salvation of her weak consort's kingdom of Denmark,
associated her with events such as seem to belong more to
the page of romance than of history. A marked contrast to
these scenes of triumph is furnished by the lives of the
daughters of Edward IV., nurtured on the steps of the
throne, exposed afterwards to the cruel machinations of their
false uncle Richard 111., regarded with watchful jealousy by
Henry VII., and finally sinking into obscure graves :
