In announcing the new and much augmented edition of this im-
portant and interesting work, which has been considered unique hi
biographical literature, the publishers beg to direct attention to the
following extract from the preface:—" A Revised Edition of the
' Lives of the Queens of England,' embodying the important collec-
tions which have been brought to light siace the appearance of ear-
lier impressions, is now offered to the world, embellished with Por-
traits of every Qaeen, from authentic and properly verified sources.
The series, commencing with the Consort of William the Conqueror,
comprises thirty Queens who have worn the crown matrimonial, and
four the regal diadem of this realm. We have related the parentage
of every Queen, described her education, traced the influence of fa-
mily connexions and national habits on her conduct, both pablic and
private, and given a concise outline of the domestic as well as the
general history of her times, and its effects on her character, and we
have done so with singleness of heart, unbiassed by selfish interests
or narrow views. Such as they were in life we have endeavoured
to portray them, both in good and ill, without regard to any other
consideration than the development of the Gets. Their sayings, their
doings, their manners, their costume, will be found faithfully chro-
nicled in this work, which also includes the most interesting of their
letters."
