A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales
BY
JONATHAN NIELD
" These Historical Novels have taught all men this truth, which looks like a truism, and yet was as good as unknown to writers of history and others, till so taught : that the tygone ages of the world were actually filled by living men, not by protocols, state-papers, controversies, and abstractions of men."
Carlyle on the Waverley Novels.

PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION.
Having apologised already for a third preface, I ought, no doubt, to crave still more indulgence now that I come to write a fourth. But, believing that I have something to say which really needs saying, I shall risk whatever charges of inconsis- tency and superfluity may ensue.
It has been very gratifying to learn that the " Guide " has continued to sell regularly through all the seven years which have elapsed since it appeared in its third life-stage at the beginning of 1904; and this, in spite of competition in two new quarters. The much longer pause in republication (the last edition was by far the largest) has enabled me to effect what I regarded in the first instance as an impossible ideal; for, besides bringing my lists up to date through the entry of new books, I have once again gone over old ground, and have sought to include all those novels and tales which ignorance or ill-consideration caused me to omit in previous editions. And, let it be stated here that, in rectifying former omissions, I have not gone to workers in the same field of Bibliography and stolen their honey ; but I have, throughout, taken an independent line. Hence, although, in the Supple- ment now added, there are descriptive notes on several hundred novels and tales which appeared before the pubh- cation of Mr. Bowen's " Catalogue of Historical Novels "
(second edition) and of Dr. Baker's " History in Fiction," not one of these notes is based upon the particulars furnished m either work. Wherever possible, I have obtained my infor- mation from the actual novel or tale described.
Four years ago (vide Dr. Baker's kindly allusion in the Preface to his admirable work just named), it was hinted that the " Guide " was somewhat lacking in its " degree of com- prehensiveness ; " such a criticism could scarcely be maintained now. If there is still exclusion to some extent, there is (fourth edition) inclusion to a very much larger extent. I have allowed the utmost elasticity in my later decisions as to his- torical qualification. How comprehensive has been my selection, may be judged from the f^ct that, while in my enlarged third edition the annotated lists covered between twelve and thirteen hundred novels and tales, I have now passed under review about seventeen hundred more. In the total of nearly three thousand novels and tales thus reached, over two thousand are not to be found in Mr. Bowen's catalogue, and some thirteen hundred are absent from Dr. Baker's lists. Comprehensiveness alone, however, would be a poor advantage, and I believe that, in its present form, besides being the largest bibliography of its kind, the " Guide " is also the most accurate.
And this brings me to say a few words about certain special aims that I have striven my utmost to embody in the large supplementary portion of this edition. More and more, I have come to see that, in a reference book of the kind — making its appeal to readers of all ages and of varying tastes — there should be large catholicity. And nowhere is such inclusiveness more desirable than in the case of Juvenile stories : the shortest and simplest tale, if it ii) any way illustrates a bygone period, may prove of use and of interest.
X.
\}n both English and foreign history there are particular periods which have been almost entirely overlooked or avoided by writers of imaginative literature ; and, bearing this in mind, I have not hesitated — after much laborious investigation^ — to recommend very brief stories which deal with more or less untouched times and peoples. Such recommendation, how- ever, has of course been subject to the stories in question reaching a certain standard of merit. Again, in regard to longer tales, there are many which, if not to be ranked among absolutely first-class examples of historical fiction, are very good of their kind. Recognition of this has led me to reverse many previous judgments. Hitherto, one really capable author has fared somewhat badly at the hands of bibliographers. I allude to Herbert Hayens ; his extremely interesting South American tales fill a gap that much needed filling, and I have been at pains to give an accurate account of each one of them. Another writer who has been ignored to a very much greater extent, is Miss Mary H. Debenham : many of her tales — both long and short — deserve special recommendation. It is strange that, although some fourteen volumes came from her pen before 1905, only two were mentioned in Mr. Bowen's " Catalogue,'' and not one appeared either in my own third edition or in Dr. Baker's " History in Fiction." These omissions are, I trust, fully atoned (so far as the " Guide " is concerned) in the complete analyses of Miss Debenham's stories which appear throughout the Supplement.
Turning from juvenile fiction to the novel proper, I have very carefully considered my American and foreign sections, as regards both old and new books. In the English sections I have gone to one or two pre-Victorian authors for repre- sentative writings, while omissions in the case of this or that popular modern novelist have been made good. The fiction
xi.
published in the seven years since my last edition, has been exhaustively treated. During that period not a few reputations have been made; among the most deservedly popular of recent imaginative writers I may specify Rafael Sabatini, " Ashton Hilliers," Michael Barrington, Charles Major, Alfred T. Sheppard, W. J. Eccott, " Morice Gerard," " Marjorie Bowen," "K. L. Montgomery," Philip L, Stevenson, Percy J. Brebner, Howard Pease, and R. H. Forster (the two last- named have specialised in Northumbrian romance). Of those who cater for young people, Herbert Strang, Captain Brereton, Everett T. Tomlinson, " James Otis," E. E. Crake, Escott Lynn, Dorothea Moore, Edith E. Cowper, Gertrude Hollis, Tom Bevan, " Harry Collingwood," Ernest Protheroe, and Harold Avery, may be mentioned as having come well to the fore.
My sincere thanks are due to a large number of librarians, authors, publishers, and booksellers, whom, owing to necessities of space, I cannot name individually. Perhaps I ought to make separate acknowledgment of my very considerable obligation to officials in the British Museum Reading Room.

PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.
There is a justifiable feeling against superfluous prefaces, and the fact that this little volume is entering the third stage of its existence might appear to suggest that the time had gone by for explanations. In the present instance, however, when something like a " new " book is oflfered, an extra word or two may not be altogether out of place. The old saying, " experience teaches," holds good pre- eminently in the case of a work of reference ; errors of omission and commission are pointed out in this or that quarter, and not infrequently a criticism of the kind may be accepted as the basis of genuine improvement. This must be my plea in response to objectors who, possessing the earlier incomplete editions, feel somewhat aggrieved on learning that such substantial changes and additions have been made ! The very kind reception accorded my original effort led me to at once embark on labours which, without any such encouragement, I could scarcely have faced. At this point I should like to specify the many suggestions and criticisms from which I have tried to reap profit, but conditions of space forbid, and I must content myself with expressing my obligations in one direction only. To Prof. C. S. Fearenside, who has done such good work in the department of History proper, I am indebted for exceed- ingly valuable advice.
xui.
Perhaps I shall best serve those consulting my pages if I briefly enumerate the principal features in this new edition. Passing over general revision and enlargement, I would call attention to the following points : —
(i.) Detailed description of individual books (with special reference to localities and personages), instead of vague, general groupings like " Norman Conquest," " French Revolution," &c., &c. It is hoped that the use- fulness of the list will be thereby so greatly enhanced as to justify the labour involved in this extra specification.
(2.) Large increase in the "Supplementary List" of semi-historical novels. It was felt that (as an appreciative reviewer in The Journal of Education pointed out) many works originally placed in the general list might, with great advantage, be transferred to this supplementary section. Moreover, several entirely new novels have been brought in.
(3.) Specially good books have been marked. This will, I trust, meet the objection made in a few quarters that my choice was too comprehensive. Moreover, a list of " Fifty Representative Historical Novels " (already printed else- where) is offered for the consideration of those readers who approach Romance in a more or less critical mood.
(4.) Amalgamation of the two Juvenile Lists (English History). Books with decidedly " Boyish " or " Girlish " tendencies are marked accordingly. Many new tales have been added in this department.
(5.) Throughout the volume American Publishers are given as well as English.
(6.) Original publication dates have been given (Authors and Titles Index) ; in the case of a translation, the date is that of the book in its first form (French, German, Hun-
garian, &c.) Wherever possible, the iitle-J>age date has been taken. My special reason for inserting these dates, at no little cost of time and pains, is to show those who care for such knowledge, under what period of historical criticism or non-criticism any book was written. Moreover, such dates may be of assistance to bibliographers generally.
(7.) Lastly, three-column arrangement of lists — thus enabling the tabular form to be straight down instead of across the page ; this will, I feel sure, be much handier in the case of quick reference.
There is one small matter to which I would allude. Through the mis-reading, doubtless, of a passage in my Introduction, I see that a too indulgent critic has ascribed to me an achievement to which I cannot lay claim. Though a lover of Historical Novels, I have not " read thousands of such works " ; the compliment is a doubtful one!

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The opinion having been very generally expressed that an Index of Authors and Titles was essential in a work of refer- ence such as the present, the author gladly avails himself of the opportunity (so soon given !) to remedy the defect in this respect. As regards the List itself, some mistakes of spelling, &c., have been corrected, but no attempt has been made to add fresh examples. In the two or three months since preparation, very few noticeable historical romances have appeared ; should, however, the kind reception given to the little volume on its first appearance be extended to it in this slightly enlarged form — thus admitting of still further revision — every effort will be made to keep the List as up-to-date as possible.
Several of the minor criticisms which have been passed on the author's method scarcely call for notice, but some- thing may, perhaps, be said in regard to two objections which have been made. Firstly, a misunderstanding seems to have prevailed in certain quarters over the Suggested Courses of Reading (Juvenile). These were drawn up primarily with a view to assist Parents and Teachers who might wish to know of likely books dealing with the various English Reigns; it never occurred to the compiler that such " suggested courses " would be taken as dictating to young people what they should read! Secondly, it has
been urged that the List is too comprehensive (though, it should be mentioned, this very feature of inclusiveness has been specially commended in other critical quarters). In the early stages of compilation a much more restricted method was adopted, but, in deference to opinions ex- pressed on the part of Educational and "other authorities, besides a growing conviction on the compiler's own part, the List was greatly expanded. It was specially implied that the term "best " was to be taken in the sense of "best available " for the several sections, and the choice was made with a due regard to varieties of taste, &c. Certainly it was nowhere hinted (as one reviewer seemed to suggest) that writers like James, Ainsworth, Grant, &c., were to be classed among " best authors " — indeed, the very contrary was asserted in the Introduction itself. To anyone calling in question the claim made for the List, that it is select and something more than a mere Catalogue, at least one very simple test may be suggested ; let such a sceptical reader compare the list here offered with that compiled by Mr. Bowen, and he will find that, of the 1160 or so books given in the latter, not more than about 250 reappear.
That the " Guide " has proved of use to some may be inferred from the fact that a new edition is called for within so short a time. It has been stated in one quarter that the idea of the book was praiseworthy enough, but impossible to carry out ; may not the old saying— solvitur ambulando — be, to some extent, applied here ?

• INTRODUCTION.
It is not proposed, in these preliminary remarks, to sketch in detail the origin and growth of the Historical Novel; this has already been amply done by Professor Saintsbury and others. I shall be content to approach the subject on its general side, offering, at the same time, some critical suggestions which will, I hope, not be without value to readers of Romance.
But, first of all, I must explain how the List which follows came to be compiled, and the object I have in offer- ing it. For many years I have been an assiduous reader of novels and tales in which the historical element appeared, supplementing my own reading in this direction by a care- ful study of all that I could find in the way of Criticism on such works and their writers. Only in this way could I venture on a selection involving a survey of several thousand volumes ! With the above understanding, I can say that no book has been inserted without some reason, while I have made all jpossible effort to obtain accuracy of description. And this leads me to remark, that just in this process of selection do I claim originality for my List. Nearly twenty years ago an excellent "Descriptive Cata- logue of Historical Novels and Tales " was published ; Mr. H. Courthope Bowen was the compiler,* and I would here
I * "A Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Novels and Tales, for the use of School Libraries and Teachers of History," compiled and described by H. Courthope Boviren, M.A. (Edward Stanford, 1882 ; and Scribner and Welford, 1884.)

mention my indebtedness to him. In Mr. Bowen's list, however, one finds good and bad alike — all the works of even such moderately endowed writers as G. P. R. James, Ainsworth, Grant, &c., are there set down. It seemed to me that, not only was there room for a new list of Histori- cal Novels (Stevenson, Marion Crawford, Conan Doyle Weyman, Mason, and a number of more or less capable romancists having come forward in the last twenty years), but, also, that more than ever was there a need for some sort of clue in the search for such books. In the last year or two there has been an almost alarming influx in this de- partment of Fiction, and teachers in schools, besides readers in general, may be glad to be saved a somewhat tedious investigation.
Having thus attempted to justify the existence of my little " Guide," I pass on to deal with the subject of Historical Fiction itself. Most of us, I suppose, at one time or another have experienced a thrill of interest when some prominent personage, whom we knew well by repute, came before us in the flesh. We watched his manner, and noted all those shades of expression which, in another's countenance, we should have passed by unheeded. Well, it seems to me that, parallel with this experience, is that which we gain when, reading some first-rank romance, we encounter in its pages a figure with which History has made us more or less familiar. And I would remark that the great masters do not, as a rule, make that mistake which less skilful writers fall into — the mistake of intro- ducing well-known historical figures too frequently. The Cromwell of " Woodstock " has an element of mystery about him, even while he stands out before our mental vision in bold relief. Had Scott brought him more pro-
minently into the plot, and thus emphasized the fictional aspect of his figure, our interest in the story, as such, might have been sustained, but we should have lost that atmosphere of vraisemblance which, under a more careful reserve, the hand of the master has wrought for us.
But it is not only this introduction of personalities which constitutes a novel " historical" ; the mere allusion to real events, or the introduction of dates, may give us sufficient ground for identifying the period with which a novel deals. Of course, the question as to whether a particular person or event is truly tiistorical, is not always an easy one to answer. By the adaptation in it of some purely mythical character or event, a novel is no more constituted " histori- cal " than is a fairy-tale by the adaptation of folk-lore. King Arthur and Robin Hood are unhistorical, and, if I have ventured to insert in my list certain tales which deal with the latter, it is not on that account, but because other figures truly historical (e.g., Richard I.) appear. As there has been some dispute on this question of the Historical Novel proper, I ofFer the following definition : — A Novel is\ rendered Historical by the introduction of dates, personages, or events, to which identification can be readily given. I am quite aware that certain well-known novels which give the general atmosphere of a period — such, for example, as Hawthorne's " Scarlet Letter " and Mr. Hewlett's " Forest Lovers " — do not come within the scope of my definition ; but this is just why I have added a " Supplementary List " of semi-historical tales. And, while I am alluding to this " Supplementary List," I should like to give my reason for omitting from it one remarkable book which has every claim to be considered representative of the mid-nineteenth century. Readers of " John Inglesant " may be reminded
that in his interesting preface Mr. Shorthouse alludes to William Smith's philosophical novel, " Thorndale." As a picture of Thought developments in the early Victorian period, the latter work has special historical interest for the philosophical and theological student; in this respect it may be likened to Pater's " Marius the Epicurean," which vividly reproduces the Intellectual ferment of an earlier age. " Thorndale," however, is primarily didactic, and the philosophical dialogues (interesting as these are to the meta- physician) hardly atone to the general reader for an almost entire absence of plot. The above is, doubtless, an alto- gether extreme instance, but the exclusion of several other works from the category of Romance seems to follow on something like the same grounds. Becker's " Charicles " and " Gallus " are little more than school textbooks, while, turning to a less scholarly quarter, Ains worth's " Preston Fight," and even his better-known " Guy Fawkes," may be cited as illustrating what Mr. Shorthouse means when he speaks of novels " in which a small amount of fiction has been introduced simply for the purpose of relating History." In all such cases the average novel-reader feels that he has been allured on false pretences. I am well aware that not a few of the books included in my List might be considered to fall under the same ban, but I think it will be found that in most of them there is at least a fair attempt to arouse narrative interest.
Coming to the List itself, it will be noticed that I have been somewhat sparing in the books given under the " Pre- Christian " heading. Novels dealing with these very far-off times are apt to be unsatisfactory ; the mist in which events and personages are enveloped, takes away from that appearance of reality which is the great charm of the histori-
cal novel. We are hardly concerned, in reading " Sarche- don" and similar books, to get away from the purely imaginary pictures which spring from the Novelist's own brain, and the danger is that the very elements which add to our interest in the tale as such, will go far to mislead us in our conception of the period dealt with. There is none of that sense of familiarity which we enjoy when reading a sixteenth or seventeeth century romance : in the latter case, the historical background, being easily perceptible, merges for us with the creations of the author's own imagination. Where the writer of an " ancient " romance happens to be a scholar like Ebers, we feel that — so far at least as historical presentment goes — we cannot be far wrong, but the combination of great scholarship and narra- tive capacity is, alas, too rare !
I have likewise refrained from giving many tales deal- ing with Early-Christian times. We are here, it must be admitted, on controversial ground, and under the First Century heading I have endeavoured to insert romances of the highest quality only. For instance, I think that Dr. Abbott's " Philochristus " and Wallace's " Ben Hur " ought to satisfy two diiferent types of readers. And this is the place, doubtless, to say that in my lists will be found books of widely differing merit and aim. School teachers, and others in like capacity, will easily discriminate between authors suitable for juvenile or untrained tastes, and authors whose appeal is specially to those of maturer thought and experience. Differing as much in method and style as in choice of period and character type, Thackeray's " Vanity Fair " and George Ehot's " Romola " have at least this in common — they require a very high degree of inteUigence for their due appreciation. Who, among those
of us with any knowledge of such works, would dream of recommending them to a youthful reader fresh from the perusal of Miss Yonge's "Little Duke," or Captain Marryatt's " Children of the New Forest " ?
Naturally in a list of this kind there is bound to be very great inequality ; certain periods have been wholly ignored by writers of the first rank, while in others we have something like an embarras de richesse. Consequently, I have been compelled, here and there, to insert authors of only mediocre merit. In other cases, again, I have not hesitated to omit works by writers of acknowledged position when these have seemed below the author's usual standard, and where no gap had to be filled. I would instance the James II. — William III. period. Here Stanley Weyman and "Edna Lyall" might have been represented, but, there being no dearth of good novels dealing with both the above reigns, I did not deem it advisable to call in these popular writers at the point which has been very generally considered their lowest. I mention this to show that omis- sions do not necessarily mean ignorance, though, in cover- ing such an immense ground, I cannot doubt that romances worthy of a place in my list have been overlooked.
I think many will be surprised to find how large a pro- portion of our best writers (English and American) have entered the domain of Historical or Semi - Historical Romance. Scott, Thackeray, Dickens, George Eliot, Charlotte Brontd, George Meredith, R. L. Stevenson, Hawthorne, Peacock, Charles Kingsley, Henry Kingsley, Charles Reade, Anthony Trollope, Mrs. Gaskell, Walter Besant, Lytton, Disraeli, J. H. Newman, J. A. Froude, and Walter Pater — these are a few of the names which appear in the following pages ; while Tolstoy, Dumas, Balzac,
George Sand, Victor Hugo, De Vigny, Prosper Mdrimge, Flaubert, Thdophile Gautier, Freytag, SchefFel, Hauff, Auerbach, Manzoni, Perez Gald6s, Mdrejkowski, Topelius, Sienkiewicz, and J6kai are, perhaps, the chief amongst those representing Literatures other than our own.
"The Last Days of Pompeii," "The Gladiators," "Hypatia," "Harold," " Ivanhoe," "The Talisman," "Maid Marian," "The Last of the Barons," " Quentin Durward," " Romola," "The Cloister and the Hearth," " In the Palace of the King," " Westward Ho !," " Kenil- worth," "The Chaplet of Pearls," "A Gentleman of France," " John Inglesant," " The Three Musketeers," "Twenty Years After," "Woodstock," "Peveril of the Peak," " Old Mortality," " The Betrothed Lovers " (" / Promessi Sposi"), " Lorna Doone," "The Refugees," "In the Golden Days," " The Courtship of Morrice Buckler," " Dorothy Forster," " The Men of the Moss Hags," " Esmond," " The Virginians," " Heart of Midlothian," " Waverley," " The Master of Ballantrae," " Kidnapped," " Catriona," " The Chaplain of the Fleet," " The Seats of the Mighty," " Barnaby Rudge," " A Tale of Two Cities," " War and Peace " — what visions do these mere titles arouse within many of us ! And, though most of the books given in my list cannot be described in the same glowing terms as the masterpieces* just named, yet many " nests of pleasant thoughts " may be formed through their companionship.
Hitherto allusion has been mainly in the direction of modern authors, and I would now say a word or two in regard to those of an earlier period who are also represented.
* " Masterpieces," that is, in their several degrees ; perhaps I was some- what rash to invite the criticism that "Quentiu Durward," " Esmond," &C;, find themselves in very unequal company !
8
Defoe, Fielding, Richardson, Goldsmith, Smollett, Frances Burney, Samuel Lover, John Gait, Maria Edgeworth, Susan Ferrier, William Godwin, Mary Shelley, Fenimore Cooper, J. G. Lockhart, Leigh Hunt, Thomas Moore, Harriet Martineau, J. L. Motley, Horace Smith, Charles Lever, Meadows Taylor, and William Carleton — these (in greater or less degree) notable names were bound to have a place ; and, coming to less distinguished writers, I may mention the brothers Banim, Gerald Griffin, Mrs. S. C. Hall, Lady Morgan, the sisters Porter, W. G. Simms, George Croly, Albert Smith, G. R. Gleig,* W. H. Maxwell, Sir Arthur Helps, Eliot Warburton, Lewis Wingfield, Thomas Miller, C. Macfarlane, Grace Aguilar, Anne Man- ning, and Emma Robinson (author of " Whitefriars"). To G. P. R. James, Harrison Ainsworth, and James Grant I have previously alluded. It has been my endeavour to choose the best examples of all the above-named novelists — a task rendered specially difficult in some cases by the fact of immense literary output. Doubtless not a few of the works so chosen are open to criticism, but they will at least serve to illustrate certain stages in the growth of Historical Romance. With the exclusion of Mrs. RadclifFe, Mrs. Marsh,t Mrs. Gore, Lady Blessington, Lady Fullerton, Mrs. Bray, and Mrs. Child, few will, I imagine, find fault ; but writers like Miss Tucker (A.L.O.E.) and Miss Emily Holt still find so many readers in juvenile quarters, that it has required a certain amount of courage to place tJiem also on my Index Expurgatorius / Turning once again to
* This author is not represented in the present (4th) edition.
t Mrs. Marsh's "Father Darcy" is now given a place in my List. Mrs. Radcliffe, Mrs. Bray, Miss Tucker (A. L. O. E.), and Miss Emily Holt, are also represented more or less fully {vide Supplement).
writers of the sterner sex, I have ruled out * C. R. Maturin, G. W. M. Reynolds, and Pierce Egan, Junr. ; and (quitting the " sensational " for the " mildly entertaining ") out of the Rev. J. M. Neale's many historical tales I have selected only one — " Theodora Phranza," which, besides being well written, has the merit of dealing with a somewhat neglected period. Stories possessing a background of History are to be found in " Tales from Blackwood," as also in " Wilson's Tales of the Borders," but their extremely slight character seemed scarcely to justify insertion ; while not even the high literary position attained by him on other grounds reconciled me to either of Allan Cunningham's novels — " Sir Michael Scott " and " Paul Jones."
Of the Foreign novelists appearing in my list, several have been already named, but Marchese D'Azeglio, F. D, Guerrazzi, Cesare Cantii, " W. Alexis " (G. Haring), H. Laube, Louise Miihlbach (Klara M. Mundt), Nicolas Josika, Viktor Rydberg, Hendrik Conscience, Xavier B, Saintine, Amedde Achard, and " Erckmann-Chatrian " here call for notice as not coming under strictly contemporary classification. I would forestall the criticism that two writers have been passed over whose fame is greater than any of those just mentioned, viz., " Stendhal " (Henri Beyle) and Alphonse Daudet. Beyle's " La Chartreuse de Parme," though containing the oft-praised account of Waterloo, is far more Psychological than Historical ; and Daudet's " Robert Helmont," while it depicts (under Diary form) certain aspects of the Franco-German War, has hardly any plot running through it. As the Waterloo and
* C. R. Maturin and G. W. M. Reynolds are now both represented ; while the selection from the Rev. J. M. Neale's tales is on a very large scale {vide Supplement).
10
Franco-German War periods were amply illustrated in numerous other novels of more assured suitability, I had the less hesitation in deciding against the two works just named. In the selection from Foreign Historical Fiction nothing more has been attempted than to include the lead- ing examples ; most of these, it will be found, have been translated into English.
Before leaving the subject of older writers, it may be mentioned that not a few of the works chosen to represent them are, at the moment, out of print. To anyone objecting that something ought to have been done to indicate this in each separate case, I would urge that the " out of print " line can never be drawn with precision in view of constant reprints as well as of further extinctions.
Perhaps this introduction may be most fitly concluded by something in the nature of apology for Historical Romance itself. Not only has fault been found with the deficiencies of unskilled authors in that department, but the question has been asked by one or two critics of standing — What right has the Historical Novel to exist at all ? More often than not, it is pointed out, the Romancist gives us a mass of inaccuracies, which, while they mislead the ignorant {i.e., the majority), are an unpardonable offence to the histori- cally-minded reader. Moreover, the writer of such Fiction, though he be a Thackeray or a Scott, cannot surmount barriers which are not merely hard to scale, but absolutely impassable. The spirit of a period is like the selfhood of a human being — something that cannot be handed on ; try as we may, it is impossible for us to breathe the atmosphere of a bygone time, since all those thousand-and-one details which went to the building up of both individual and general experience, can never be reproduced. We con-
sider (say) the Eighteenth Century from the purely Histori- cal standpoint, and, while we do so, are under no delusion as to our limitations ; we know that a few of the leading personages and events have been brought before us in a more or less disjointed fashion, and are perfectly aware that there is room for much discrepancy between the pictures so presented to us (be it with immense skill) and the actual facts as they took place in such and such a year. But, goes on the objector, in the case of a Historical Romance we allow ourselves to be hoodwinked, for, under the influence of a pseudo-historic security, we seem to watch the real sequence of events in so far as these affect the characters in whom we are interested. How we seem to live in those early years of the Eighteenth Century, as we follow Henry Esmond from point to point, and yet, in truth, we are breathing not the atmosphere of Addison and Steele, but the atmosphere created by the brilliant Nine- teenth Century Novelist, partly out of his erudite concep- tion of a former period, and partly out of the emotions and thoughts engendered by that very environment which was his own, and from which he could not escape !
Well, to all such criticisms it seems to me there are ample rejoinders. In the first place, it must be remembered that History itself possesses interest for us more as the unfolding of certain moral and mental developments than as the mere enumeration of facts. Of course, I am aware that the ideal of the Historian is Truth utterly regardless of prejudice and inclination, but, as with all other human ideals, this one is never fully realised, and there is ever that discrepancy between Fact and its Narration to which I just now alluded. This being so, I would ask — Is not the writer of Fiction justified in emphasizing those elements of

History which have a bearing on life and character in general ? There is, doubtless, a wise and an unwise method of procedure. One novelist, in the very effort to be accurate, produces a work which — being neither History nor Fiction — ^is simply dull; while another, who has gauged the true relation between fact and imagination, knows better than to bring into prominence that which should remain only as a background. After all, there are certain root motives and principles which, though they vary in- definitely in their application, underlie Human Conduct, and are common to all ages alike. Given a fairly accvurate knowledge as regards the general history of any period, combined with some investigation into its special manners and customs, there is no reason why a truly imaginative novelist should not produce a work at once satisfying to romantic and historical instincts.
Again, if it be true that the novelist cannot reproduce the far past in any strict sense, it is also true that neither can he so reproduce the life and events of yesterday. That power of imaginative memory, which all exercise in daily experience, may be held in very different degrees, but its enjoyment is not dependent on accuracy of representation — for, were this so, none of us would possess it. In an analogous manner the writer of Romance may be more or less adequately equipped on the side of History pure and simple, but he need not wait for that which will never come — the power of reproducing in toto a past age. If, in reading what purports to be no more than a Novel, the struggle between Christianity and Paganism (for example), or the unbounded egotism of Napoleon, be brought more vividly before our minds — and this may be done by suggestion as well as by exact relation — then, I would maintain, we are to
13
some extent educated historically, using the word in a large though perfectly legitimate sense.
I recently read a work which here presents itself as admirably illustrating my meaning. In her too little known " Adventures of a Goldsmith," Miss M. H. Bourchier has contrived to bring forcibly before us the period when Napoleon, fast approaching the zenith of his power, was known in France as the " First Consul." The " man of destiny" himself — appearing on the scene for little more than a brief moment — can in no sense be described as one of the book's characters, and yet the whole plot is so skil- fully contrived as to hinge on his personality. We are made to feel the dominating influence of that powerful will upon the fears and hopes of a time brimming over with revolutionary movement. Whether the Chouan revolt is in this particular story accurately depicted for us in all its phases, or whether the motives which impelled certain public characters are therein interpreted aright — both in regard to these and other points there may be room for doubt ; but at least the general forces of the period are placed before us in such a way as to drive home the conviction that, be the historical inaccuracies of detail what they may in the eyes of this or that specialist, the picture as a whole is one which, while it rivets our attention as lovers of romance, does no injury to the strictest Historic sense.
I know well that numerous novels might be cited which, besides abounding in anachronisms, are harmful in that they present us with a misleading conception of some personality or period ; moreover, I acknowledge that this defect is by no means confined to romances of an inferior literary order. That Cromwell has been unreasonably vilified, and Mary Queen of Scots misconceived as a saintly
H
martyr — how often are these charges brought against not a few of our leading exponents of Historical Fiction. Let this be fully granted, it remains to ask — To whom were our novelists originally indebted for these misconceptions? I Were not the historians of an earlier generation responsible I for these wrong judgments ? True, the real Science of History — the sifting of evidence, and the discovery and un- ravelling of ancient documents — may be described as an essentially modem attainment, so it would be unreasonable to blame our older historians for errors which it was largely, if not wholly, beyond their power to overcome. And it is just here that I would emphasize my defence of the Romancist. If Historians themselves have differed (and still differ !) may it not be pleaded on behalf of the Histori- cal Novelist that he also must be judged according to the possibilities of his time ? For, while he may have too readily adopted false conceptions in the past, there is no necessity why, in the future, he also — profiting by the growth of Critical Investigation — should not have due regard, in the working out of his Historical background, for all the latest " results." And, I would further add, even though it be true that Scott and others have misled us in certain directions, this does not prevent our acknowledg- ment that, given their aspect of a particular period, it was only fitting that the scheme of their novels should be in harmony with it. If " bloody Mary " was a cruel hypocrite, then our reading of her period will be influenced by that real (or supposed) fact ; but, if further investigation reverses this severe judgment on the woman herself, then, in Heaven's name, let us mould our general conception afresh. The fountains of Romance show no sign of running dry, and, though we may look in vain at the moment for a genius of
15
the very highest type, the Future has possibilities within it which the greatest literary pessimist among us cannot wholly deny. If, then, fault can be found with the older Romancists for the spreading here and there of false histori- cal notions, let us look to future workers in the same sphere for adjustment. I believe, however, that one notable critic has pronounced the mischief already done to be quite irreparable, seeing that the only " History " at all widely spread is that derived from those very romances in which errors are so interwoven with the sentimental interest of the plot itself that readers inevitably " hug their delusions ! " But I think that this danger need not be contemplated seriously. The Historical Novel exists primarily as Fiction, and, even though in our waking moments we may be per- suaded of the imreality of that " dream " which a Scott or a Dumas has produced for us, we shall still be able to place ourselves again and again under the spell of their delightful influence. Moreover, while admitting Dumas' carelessness of exact detail, it would hardly be contended by the most sceptical that his works (still less those of Scott) are with- out any background of Historic suggestiveness. Scott, indeed, shows signs of having possessed something of that " detachment " which is one important qualification in the Historian proper ; there is a fairness and prevision in his historical judgments which we look for in vain when read- ing the works of his contemporaries.*
* That there was no fundamental antagonism between the Romantic and the Scientific Movements of last Century has been shown by that very brilliant American thinker, Professor Josiah Royce, of Harvard University. "The very spirit," he writes, "that in Great Britain expressed itself in Scott's romances, once wedded to the minuteness of German scholarship, was destined to transform the whole study of history." ( The Spirit of Modern Philosophy, page 279.)
i6
And, having thus touched on what I believe to be the true relation between Romance and History, I may note, as a last word, the use of the Historical Tale to those who have the training of young folk. That "desire to know," which is an essential for all true learning, is sometimes best fostered by methods outside the ordinary School routine. Thus, as regards History, where the text-book fails in arousing interest, the tale may succeed, and, once the spirit of inquiry has been stimulated, half the battle is gained. In saying this, I am far from wishing to imply that the reading of romances can ever take the place of genuine historical study. I know well that such a book as Green's " Short History of the English People " may prove to some more fascinating than any novel. There are, how- ever, cases in which recourse may be had to a high-class work of fiction for the attainment of a truer historic sense ; while, taken only as supplement to more strictly Academic reading, such a work may prove to have its uses. Con- siderable discrimination is required — as I have already hinted — in the choice of suitable books, and, as a help in this direction, I have made out {vide " Suggested Courses of Reading") two special lists for Boys and Girls respectively, which will, I trust, be found useful.* If, besides being of help to teachers, my recommendations should lead in any degree to further appreciation of the great masters of Romance, the labour (by no means inconsiderable) expended on this little compilation will be amply rewarded.
* These two Juvenile lists have now (4th edition) been amalgamated.

GENERAL LIST.
" Epitomes are not narratives, as skeletons are not human figures. Thus records of prime truths remain a dead letter to plain folk ; the writers have left so much to the imagination, and imagination is so rare a gift. Here, then, the writer of fiction may be of use to the public — as an interpreter."
Charles Reade, in " The Cloister and the Hearth."
" The picturesqueness of history is largely due to memoirs ; and the countries and epochs which have produced them are especially picturesque. Now it is great crises, periods of disrup- tion, great emergencies, which as a rule impress contemporaries and furnish matter for close observation. . . . The Great Rebellion and the French Revolution have furnished endless motives to dramatists, novelists, and painters, because they suggest possibilities of striking contrasts, and afford available situations. The human interest is then most intense, and our sympathies are most easily awakened." — Dr. Mandell Creighton, on ' The Pic- turesque in History^' in Historical Lectures and Addresses.
ERRATA.
Several important alterations have been (Fourth Edition) embodied in the text of the older lists, but the following errors of description still remain to be noted.
Page 24. — Crake's The Camp on the Severn is wrongly placed under Third Century : this tale depicts Roman Britain, A.D. 303-304. St. Alban (as martyr) appears in the first chapter, and the Emperor Constantius in the last.
Page 41. — ^James Baker's The Gleaming Dawn deals as much with England as with Bohemia : the first half of the book depicts Lincoln- shire and Oxford, 1396-1415, while in the second half the reader is taken to Prague, etc., in the twelve years or so after the burning of Huss.
Page 42. — Cancel the description of Baker's The Cardinal's Page, and substitute the following: Begins England, 1427, but deals almost entirely with Bohemia in the years 1427-30 ; time of Cardinal Beaufort's crusade against the Hussites.
Page 77. — In the description of S. C. Grier's In Furthest Ind, the date " 1697 " is misleading ; as the half-title sets forth, this " narrative " claims to have been " written in 1697 " by one who had previously been "of the Hon. East India Co.'s service," and the book as a whole covers the period 1664-97.
Page 1 14. — Cancel the description of Lytton's The Parisians, and substi- tute the following : Mainly Paris just before and during the war, from the spring of 1869 to the end of 1 870. The last pages carry the reader to the autumn of 1871.
NOTE. — The order in which the books are placed is, on the whole, according to the periods dealt with ; occasionally the grouping decided on has prevented absolute correctness in this respect. Books of special worth are marked with an asterisk.

Note. — I have seen it urged that occurrences of a year or two ago should be reckoned as " History." Surely we see events more truly, in one sense, after the lapse of years, even though exact details tend to fade away ? Many of us, while we regard the Franco- German War as History proper, feel that the men and deeds of the Eighties and Nineties are, as it were, a part m our own environment ; the stage of impartial judgment (or, at least, approximation to such) has not been reached. Accordingly I am content to end, as before, with the early Seventies.

FIFTY REPRESENTATIVE HISTORICAL NOVELS.
" I love historical novels composed by a master hand." —
Lord Goschen.
" What we object to is the notion that historic fidelity is the important ingredient of an historical novel. Enough there must be ; but there must be much more than a dramatisation of history, more than the recapture of the past; these are but objective triumphs. There must be in the historical novel what we demand in all novels — truth to the permanent qualities of human nature, and an appeal to the reader as a living man, who reads what con- cerns him. There must be the charm of charm." —
The Academy (February i6th, 1901).
# FIFTY REPRESENTATIVE HISTORICAL NOVELS.
". . . Those who are in the habit of reading the literary weeklies may have noticed how, in certain critical quarters, a growing hatred (I can give no milder term) of historical romance has been evinced. Doubtless, after the large num- ber of mere ' Cloak and Steel ' novels which the last decade has seen on both sides of the Atlantic, one can hardly wonder at this condemnation of the ' Historical Novel,' when suck effusions are taken to represent it. But, it must be asked, what right has the critic to condemn an entire class of fiction on the basis of its worst modern examples ? And even if this be not done, it is hardly fair to prejudge the question of romance-writing possibilities by setting forth (as some critics do) all the theoretical objections which can be urged against the blending of history with the narra- tions of fancy. As to the arguments pro and con, 1 have attempted to deal with these elsewhere, and I will do no more here than name a few leading critics who have expressed themselves, more or less openly, for or against historical romance.
• Through the kindness of the Editor of the Literary World, I am enabled to give an extract from a letter which I recently (February, 1903) sent to that paper. As the list appearing therein seems to have met with some approval, I venture to insert it here. Moreover, it may serve to show the absurdity of random statements about Historical Romance. I recently came across the following sentence in a well-known American magazine : — "Anybody canwrite an historical novel" ; if this very confident critic were to glance down the names here given, he might be disposed to modify his easy assurance, and to admit that the term " historical novel " stands for supreme achievement as well as for pitiable failure !

Turning, first, to the ' Ayes,' Professor Samtsbury and Mr. Andrew Lang are indubitably favourable, while Dr. Richard Garnett and Mr. Swinburne may, I think, be claimed as decided, if less demonstrative, adherents.* The ' Noes ' are represented pre-eminently by Sir Leslie Stephen and Mr. Edmund Gosse ; in lesser degree, by Professor Brander Matthews and a ' certain writer ' in The Academy. Two other champions may be summoned to this literary tournament, viz., Mr. W. D. Howells (against) and Mr. A. T. Quiller-Couch (for). Mr. Howells, whose recent work on fiction ' Heroines ' would seem to show that his literary judgments are not infallible, has just been com- menting adversely on historical novels (except in the case of ' a very, very few '), and against his pronouncements I think we may safely set those of our own able novelist and critic, ' Q.'t
The above remarks have been made with a view to leading up to the main object of my letter. While the opinions of learned critics (such as those just mentioned) are of very great value, may not the novelists themselves be brought forward to speak on their own behalf ? As likely to help the intelligent adult reader to form his own judgment on this question of historical romance, I have made out (after much careful thought and study) the following List of Fifty Representative Historical Novels. I use the word ' represen- tative ' rather than ' best,' because I am aware that in any
* Since these words were written, a distinguished critic, Mr. Frederic Harrison, has come forward in the new r61e of Historical Novelist.
+ Vide Daily News, of June and and June 9th, 1902, for interesting remarks "On Historical Novels," by Mr. Quiller-Couch ; see also the incidental plea of another able exponent of Fiction, Mr. H. B. Marriott- Watson, in his article — "The Old Controversy" («.?., between Realism and Romance) — in The Monthly Review, for October, 1903
133
such list the line cannot be drawn with exactitude between the last ten (say) of the novels chosen and the first ten of those excluded. To show that my line of exclusion had to be somewhat arbitrary, I have only to mention such examples as Perez Galdos's ' Episodios Nacionales,' Vik- tor Rydberg's ' Last Athenian,' Felix Dahn's ' Struggle for Rome,' Weyman's ' A Gentleman of France,' Conan Doyle's ' The Refugees,' Mason's * Courtship of Morrice Buckler,' Edith Wharton's recently published ' Valley of Decision,' &c., &c. At the same time, I would suggest that, as con- taining historical novels of almost every type, the list given will be found a really satisfactory one ; and, were it desired to test any thoughtful man's partiality for this kind of fiction, I venture to think that one could not do much better than give him this list from which to choose. If, after fairly trying the quality of these fifty novels, or, at least, some portion of them, a reader remain unmoved, one may safely infer that historical romance is not for him ; to hurl the dicta of eminent critics at such a one would be mere waste of time. De gustibus non disputandum. The man to whom ' The Three Musketeers ' is foolishness may revel in ' Marius the Epicurean ' or ' War and Peace,' but he who cannot find pleasure in any of the books named (representing, as they do, such a variety of widely-differing types) is ' past praying for ' ! The temptation was great to insert George Meredith's ' Vittoria,' if only to have that powerful writer represented, but the work in question has little of the veritable ' historical ' romance about it ; on the other hand, M6rejkowski's much-discussed ' Death of the Gods ' — lacking the creativeness of fiction — is chiefly re- markable for its series of brilliant historical sketches (I think the same remark might be applied to Zola's 'La Debacle').
134
Another omission that may be noted is Beyle's ' La Char- treuse de Parme ' ; this essentially psychological novel, with its slight historical aUusiveness, would, I ventiure to suggest, be somewhat out of place in the list which follows. In regard to early Christian illustration, I scarcely anticipate serious blame for preferring ' Philochristus ' (Dr. Abbott's scholarly and exquisitely conceived semi-romance) to ' Quo Vadis ? ' and other ' popular ' tales."

I would add one word. It may be asked in regard to the above list — Why J'i/iy I To this I reply that, having made many trial lists, I found that my final evolution re^jilted in something almost identical with that figure ; a smaller selection would certainly exclude important representative novels, a larger might possibly include examples unworthy of such supremely high company.
SUGGESTED COURSES OF READING.
(Juvenile).
" It is no wisdom to make boys prodigies of information, but it is our wisdom and our duty to cultivate their faculties each in its season, first the memory and imagination, and then the judgment, to fiimish them with the means, and to excite the desire of improving themselves." — Dr. Arnold, quoted in Sir Joshua Fitch's " Thomas and Matthew Arnold."
SUGGESTED COURSES OF READING. (Juvenile.)
As likely to assist Parents and Teachers, I propose to give a list (covering English History from the Norman Conquest) for Juvenile Readers ; but a passing allusion may, first of all, be made to tales dealing with more ancient periods. For the illustration of Greek and Roman History, those books of Professor A. J. Church which are entered in my Pre-Christian section may be safely recommended; while the pictures of First Century life given in Wallace's " Ben Hur," Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii," and Whyte Melville's "The Gladiators," are, perhaps, as likely to interest an intelligent boy or girl in the " teen " stage as any similar productions that could be mentioned. Turning to the Early History of our own isle, I would specially mention Mr. Henty's "Beric the Briton"; the "^Escen- dune'' series of tales (" Edwy the Fair," " Alfgar the Dane," and "The Rival Heirs") by the late Rev. A. D. Crake ; Mr. C. W. Whistler's " Havelok the Dane," " A Thane of Wessex," &c. ; and the various books chosen to represent Alfred and his times.
In preparing the following list, I have had in view, for the most part, the average Juvenile taste; doubtless many of the more advanced works might be offered in special cases, but in regard to that, the Parent or Teacher can alone judge. A reference to the General List will, in most
144
cases, reveal a more exact specification; for the sake of convenience, the tales are here grouped according to Reigns only.
Of the romances dealing with American and Foreign History to be found in the foregoing pages, many are suit- able for young readers ; but the sequence not being very close (for any lengthy period at least), separate lists would appear superfluous. Such writers (to mention only a few) as Fenimore Cooper, Mrs. J. G. Austin, G. C. Eggleston, Kirk Munroe, and Elbridge S. Brooks, may be particularly recommended for American History ; while Scott, Dumas, Charlotte M. Yonge, Miss Roberts (author of "Made- moiselle Mori "), and G. A. Henty have all illustrated — in more or less adequate fashion — the course of events in Foreign Countries. The novels of Dumas are not infre- quently considered somewhat "strong meat," but his "She- Wolves of Machecoul " and " Black Tuhp" may be safely placed in any hands.
Note. — In the original edition of this work two separate lists were furnished for Boys and Girls respectively. It has been suggested, in more than one quarter, that an amalgamated list would be better in many ways ; not a few girls have a taste for those books of adventure which are sup- posed to appeal primarily to their brothers and boy contemporaries, and it is impossible to draw the line exactly in that class of fiction. Accordingly, I now offer a single list, merely indicating by a letter (5 for Boys, and G for Girls) those tales in which tendencies are somewhat pronounced.

In connection with this subject of Juvenile Literature, I would draw attention to Messrs. Constable's " Library of Historical Novels and Romances " so admirably edited by Mr. G. Laurence Gomme. Readers (old as well as young) are still further indebted to Mr. Gomme for his well-arranged series of extracts taken from Romantic Literature in the four volumes entitled, " The King's Story Book," " The Queen's Story Book," "The Prince's Story Book," and the Princess's Story Book." (Constable & Co.; and Longmans & Co., U.S.A.)
A little work, likely to prove useful for purposes of selection and identification, is Mr. Henry Grey's " A Key to the Waver ley Novels in Chronological Sequence " (Son- nenschein & Co.).
In the School World for August, 1903, may be found an article (" Some Holiday Reading in Fiction ") by Mr. C. S. Fearenside, mentioning a large number of novels and tales which cover the period 1763 — 1878 in British Colonial His- tory. I would bring under notice yet another article by Mr. Fearenside on " True Story-Books of Enghsh History" in the School World for August, 1902 ; in an interesting manner the author touches on some representative examples of a class of literature which, though it is naturally outside the scope of the present volume, may be alluded to at this point as coming between Fiction and History proper. And this leads me to specify another important historical medium— that of Poetry. Miss C. L. Thomson's " Carmina Britannise ■' (Horace Marshall & Son) contains an excellent selection of "poems and ballads illustrative of English History"; useful aid in the same direction is offered by Mr. J. A. Nicklin in his " Poems of English History " (A. & C. Black) — besides giving ballads and shorter pieces,
M — 2

he has selected illustrative passages from Shakespeare and the Dramatists. In " War Songs of Britain " (Constable & Co.) Mr. Harold E. Butler has given us a collection of Poems and Songs relating to Battles, &c., in British His- tory (Boadicea to Ladysmith). In "Songs of England's Glory " (Isbister, 1903), we find yet another anthology of British Poems and Ballads, selected to illustrate " episodes of our National History." A volume of special interest to American readers is the very charming " New England History in Ballads," by Edward Everett Hale and his children, "with a few additions by other people" (Little, Brown, & Co., 1903).
BIBLIOGRAPHY
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Although I have adopted the heading " Bibliography," it should be understood that, in offering the subjoined list, I do not claim for it absolute comprehensiveness. There are, of course, almost innumerable Biographies, Literary Studies, Histories of Literature and Fiction, &c., in which indirect references to our subject may be traced. Moreover, in preparing this little volume, it has been found necessary to consult largely " The Dictionary of National Biography," the Encyclopaedias (the Britannica, Chambers', &c.), " Ap- pleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography," and other Standard Works of the Dictionary type. I confine myself below to noteworthy writings which deal directly with the subject of Historical Romance.

[In this article a definition of the " Historical Novel " at variance with my own, has been suggested. In spite of Mr. Ford's argument, I am still of opinion that the line of demarcation between the Historical Novel proper and the Novel of Character or Adventure can be more clearly drawn than he allows. I was careful, when dealing with this question in my Introduction, to avoid making the test one of actual historical accuracy, but there are, 1 have implied, certain readily-verifiable personages and events which form a basis amply sufficient for purposes of distinction. The pirates of ' ' Treasure Island " are taken (as Mr. Ford says) from actual figures of the Eighteenth Century, but under my definition Stevenson's novel is not thereby constituted " historical " in the strict sense.]

NOTE.
It is interesting to see what Novelists themselves have said on the subject of Historical Romance, and in tliis connection I would specially refer to the " Dedicatory Epistle " in Scott's "Ivanhoe," the very brief but exceedingly suggestive opening section in Chapter I. of Reade's "Cloister and the Hearth," and the Preface to Scheffel's " Ekkehard."

SUPPLEMENT.
" Those who know very little of the past and care very little for the future, will make but a sorry business of the present. . . . The great Duke of Marlborough said that he had learnt all the history he ever knew out of Shakespeare's historical plays. I have long thought that if we persuaded those classes who have to fight their own little battles of Blenheim for bread every day, to make such a beginning of history as is furnished by Shakespeare's plays and Scott's novels, we should have done more to imbue them with a real interest in the past of mankind than if we had taken them through a course of Hume and Smollett, or Hallam on the English Consti- tution, or even the dazzling Macaulay."
Lord Morley on " The Great Commonplaces of Readingi'
SUPPLEMENT.
NOTE. — As previously, books of special worth are marked with an asterisk. Even less than before am I disposed to insert prices ; nowadays these fluctuate con- tinually. The method now adopted of putting Juv. against works which are distinctly Juvenile, obviates the necessity for a separate list of tales suitable for young folk ; it need hardly be said, however, that no arbitrary division can be made between romances that are for grown-up people and those which are for more youthful readers. Certain well-known writers for the young are quite worthy of study by parent and child alike, while many of the best historical novels may be read profitably by intelligent boys and girls entering on the " teen" stage. While out-of-print books have been avoided, a few that are more or less easily obtainable second-hand, have been included ; juvenile tales are frequently revived.

I may allude here to one other stoiy of the Exodus period, viz. " The Secret of the Sphinx," by James Smith and John Wren Sutton (Welby, Eng.), somewhat conventional.
b The same author is responsible for a tale of Egypt in the days of the Biblical Joseph, " The Stonecutter of Memphis " (Routledge, Eng. ; and Dutton, U.S.A.). Like many other romances of Pre-Christian times, these two works of fiction are entertaining enough, but can hardly be taken very seriously.

a This interesting tale forms one of the volumes in an admirable series, " Life Stories for Young People " (A. C. MoClurg & Co., U.S.A.). Most of the " stories " are to be classed under Biography rather than under Fiction ; but this tale — as well as another entitled " The Swiss Heroes," which I have inserted in my Fifteenth Century section — may fairly be described as Historical Romance in the strict sense. Other volumes in this series deal with Charlemagne, Barbarossa, William of Orange, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Bach, Maria Theresa, Gudrun, Joan of Arc, William Tell, Frederick the Great, Marie Antoinette, &c. All are translated from the German by George P. Upton.
6 This carefully written book is not a romance in the ordinary sense, but it has at least as much claim to the title as R. Bird's " Jesus, the Carpenter of Nazareth " (Juv.), which is sometimes entered in lists of fiction.
c Deliberately excluded from my previous lists, but certainly as much worth reading as some of those romances entered in the same section.

a The first of five Early Christian tales from the same pen, the other four being, "Love Triumphant ; or, A Street Boy of Jerusalem " (the American title is, " Tor ; or, A Street Boy of Jerusalem ") ; " Stephen, a Soldier of the Cross ; " " Paul, a Herald of the Cross ; " and " lie (ioss Triumphant." Based on such writers as Geikie, Edersheim, Farrar, Conybeare and Howson, &c Perhaps there is more fictional interest in " Love Triumphant " (a tale of Christ's time) than in "Titus." '

Note. — Novelists and story-tellers have often tried to illustrate the life of Christ, as well as the period immediately following. It must be confessed that very few have succeeded in the difficult task. Besides the examples given above, I may here briefly allude to a few others. Among older works, William Ware's " Julian " is probably one of the best. J. A. Ingraham's " Prince of the House of David " is, I suppose, still read by a few. To turn to a much later example, Mrs. A. F. Johnston's Joel, a Boy of Galilee" (L. C. Page, U.S.A.) has been written with a special view to young readers. The following have been published within the last few years : — " The Court of Pilate," by R. R. Hobbs ; " The Princess of Gan-Sar" (Mary Magdalen), by Andrew Klarman ; " The Story of the Child that Jesus took," by Dr. Newman Smyth ; " The Son of Siro " (Lazarus), by Rev. J. E. Copus, S.J. ; " Mary of Magdala," by Harriette G. Roberson ; " Philo's Daughter : the story of the daughter of the thief with whom Christ was crucified," by Nellie G. Robinson; "The Centurion's Story" (Crucifixion), by P. C. Macfarlane ; " The White Siiield " (Phrygia, a.d. 50), by Caroline Atwater Mason ; and " Lux Crucis " (St. Paul), by Samuel M. Gardiner. These nine tales are written by American authors ; Mr. Gardiner's story has had some vogue.

A short story of Roman con- quest (Trajan) in the coun- try of the Dacians, i.e. in those Danubian regions which are to-day called Roumania.
Galilee at the beginning oi the Second Century.
The autobiography of an imaginary Roman.. He sets fortii (a.d. 163) the account of his experiences when attending the lec- tures of Epictetus in Nico- polis, during the second year of Hadrian, a.d. 118.
Rome, A.D. 137 (boyhood of Marcus Aurelius).
Rome in the days of Marcus Aurelius and Verus : the revolt of Avidius Cassius, ending with his death.
a There are eight other stories in " A Royal Story Book " : all these slight imaginative sketches deal with bygone Roumanian periods. " The Poet " is a legendary tale of Ovid's banishment to the Black Sea border ; " The Dacian Virgin " treats of the Roman Wars in the Danubian district ; other tales depict much later scenes.
6 A very slight tale, worthy of insertion — if for no other reason — because of the unusual period with which it deals.
c This, and the other historical sketches in the same volume, are fictional in pari; they are interesting and well written. All the twelve stories will be found in my Supplement, under their respective periods.

a The authoress describes her work as " a romance." While not a novel in the ordinary sense, this story of Elizabeth Stuart is a good example of semi-fictional biography.
6 This Roman Catholic tale is decidedly interesting and well written, but somewhat partial in its tone. Cromwell is depicted (in a brief interview) as a sanctimonious hypocrite.

France under Louis XIII. The persecution of the Huguenots ; La Rochelle (1628) ; and the death of Cardinal RicheUeu (1642).
France under Louis XIII. Begins in the earUer stages of Ri chelieu's power ; then deals with the period after the Cardinal's death.
Plot against Richelieu, 1626 (favourable depiction of theCardinal). LouisXIII., Anne of Austria and the Duchesse de Chevreuse.
The experiences of a poor schoolmaster in Franconia, 1610-39 (time of the Thirty Years' War).
Germany : Wallenstein at the Siege of Magdeburg, 1629; Gustavus Adolphus, &c. The novel depicts — powerfully but not always pleasantly — the adven- turer type of the Thirty Years' War period.
Tale of a Scotsman serving under Gustavus Adolphns in 1630 (Gustavus, Prince Rupert, Elizabeth of Ba- varia, &c.).
Germany in 1631 : the Thirty Years' War at its height.
a The translator (Mr. J. F. Cobb) says, " It is not a fictitious tale, but a simple recital of historical events," As, however, the book reads like fiction, and gives a vivid picture of life at the time, I include it. In this note I may allude to a very famous German novel, J. W. Meinhold's " The Amber Witch " (translated by Lady Dufi Gordon, 1844) ; while dealing with the time of Gustavus Adolphns and the Thirty Years* War, the book is not historical romance in the true sense ; moreover, even the latest English edition (D. Nutt 1895) is now out of print.

Ireland (Wicklow) in 1796, and in 1798.
a The imaginative biography of a real woman, who lived 1773 to 1841. Stealing a horse in 1797, she was put in gaol, but escaped in 1800. She was then transported to Australia, x8oi ; eventually she married, and lived in Sydney from 1828 to 1841.
b Another tale showing strong Irish sympathies and dealing with a slightly later period, is the same author's " The Knight of Gwynne." Many of Charles Lever's novels are historic or semi- historic, but I have purposely included only one or two of his best examples in my lists. Professor Hugh Walker, alluding to the fact that many Englishmen derive their idea of Irish character from Lever's " farcical caricatures," remarks that " by blood he [Lever] was more English than Irish. His father migrated from Manchester to Ireland, and his mother too was of a family originally English." Two of the most deservedly poi)ular of Lever's works are " Tom Burke of * Ours * " and " Charles O'Malley " (see pp. xoi and 102 in this volume).
c written from a decidedly Protestant standpoint.

SEMI-HISTORICAL NOVELS AND TALES.
" Many corresponding circumstances are detected by readers, of which the author did not suspect the existence. He must, however, regard it as a great compliment, that in detailing incidents purely imaginary, he has been so fortunate in approximating reality, as to remind his readers of actual occurrences."

What a meteor " saw in its journey through the ages," from its fall in the Cave- dwellers' period to the time of the Pilgrim Fathers. Semi-fictional history (Vi- kings, English, &c.).
An excellent little semi-fic- tional story-book for chil- dren, telling of a boy's life among the primitive in- habitants of Britain.
a Strictly speaking, of course, a novel of this kind is not even "semi" historical: the people whom Mr. Hilliers has, with such power of imagination, tried to reproduce for us, lived in the far-off unrecorded periods of our planet. At the same time it must be borne in mind that, through the study of Science, we are able to trace, if not the detailed history of bygone races, at least the general outline of their manner of living : hence it may be said that even romances dealing with Primitive Life, are based — as regards their framework — on certain bygone facts which Nature has recorded for us.

NOTES ON JUVENILE LITERATURE
" My own view is that English History should be an inheritance of childhood ; that its legends and its romance should grow into our thoughts from very early years, and should expand themselves with the expansion of our minds ; that we should feel History and dream of it rather than learn it as a lesson."
C. R. L. Fletcher in the Preface to his " Introductory History of England"
NOTES ON JUVENILE LITERATURE.
Besides the many novels and tales which make appeal to the young as Historical Fiction proper, there are certain books of the "true story," legendary, and semi-fictional type, which may be recommended for children's reading.
" The Red Book of Heroes," and other volumes in Mr. Andrew Lang's series of story-books (Longmans & Co.), are well-known examples of the kind. Another deservedly popular series is that entitled. Told through the Ages (George G. Harrap, Eng. ; and D. C. Heath, U.S.A.) ; I would specially mention the volimie, " Britain Long Ago, stories from Old English and Celtic Sources. Retold by E. M. Wilmot-Buxton," which contains stories of King Alfred, King Arthur, &c., based on Saxon Chronicles and Celtic poems — ^Ireland, Wales, and England. The same publishers have brought out several larger volumes in their admirable " Myths " series, embodying Greek, Roman, Norse, British, and Mediaeval legends ; again, in their recently published " The High Deeds of Finn " (T. W. Rolleston), and in " Cuchulain the Hound of Ulster " (Eleanor Hull), the early Irish myths are delightfully presented. An excellent little book of semi-historic and mythical stories is " Tales from Chaucer," retold by J. Walker McSpadden in the series. All Time Tales (George G. Harrap, Eng. ; and D. C. Heath, U.S.A.). Similarly, Messrs. T. C. & E. C. Jack have issued a number
424 SUPPLEMENT.
of dainty little story-books based on Chaucer, &c., in their Told to the Children Series ; the same firm have published a series of Famous Historical Romances, retold for children by Alice F. Jackson (" Hereward the Wake," " The Tower of London," " The Last of the Barons," " Westward Ho ! " &c.) ; while in The Children's Scott Series (T. C. & E. C. Jack), Miss Jackson has retold several of Scott's novels. These last-named series are also pubUshed in America by Messrs. Jacobs & Co., Philadelphia. Another series of retold passages from the Waverley Novels has been published by A. & C. Black, Eng., and Macmillan, U.S.A., under the title, " Red Cap Tales from Scott, stolen from the Treasure Chest of the Wizard of the North," by S. R. Crockett ("Waverley," "Guy Mannering," " Ivanhoe," " Quentin Dmrward," &c.). A handsome volimie, delight- fully illustrated by Hugh Thomson, is " Tales of the Canterbury Pilgrims," retold from Chaucer and other writers, by F. J. Harvey Darton (Wells Gardner) ; and Henry Newbolt's " Stories from Froissart " (WeUs Gardner) is another attractive book, illustrated by Gordon Browne. Besides the many interesting romances of Professor A. J. Church, which appear in my hsts, there are several books by the same writer which may be recommended as specially good examples of the true story, semi-fictional, and mythical type ; they illustrate — as the title in each case sufficiently indicates — ancient Greek and Roman Ufe and tradition ; Charlemagne ; the Crusades ; &c. Messrs. Seeley are the pubHshers. The same Enghsh firm, and Messrs. Lippincott, U.S.A., have recently issued " A Knight Errant and his Doughty Deeds : the story of Amadis of Gaul," edited by N. J. Davidson. Ireland in the Heroic period is well depicted in Standish O'Grady's " Gates of the North " (Sealy, Bryers & Walker, new edition, 1908).
SUPPLEMENT. 425
Some thrilling short romances of Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and later Britain, as well as of mediaeval and modern Europe, are presented in Mr. Douglas Stedman's volume, "For Love and Honour " (T. Nelson & Sons). Excellent semi- fictional tales dealing with the Days of Alfred, of William the Conqueror, of Queen Elizabeth, and of the late Queen Victoria, are to be found in Eva March Tappan's Makers of England Series (Hutchinson, Eng. ; and Lothrop, U.S.A.). In Methuen & Co.'s Stories from Old Romance, edited by E. M. Wilmot-Buxton, the " romantic epics " of various countries (France, Italy, &c.) are well represented. I have akeady alluded (see p. 243) to Mr. G. P. Upton's biographical sketches in Life Stories for Young People (A. C. McClurg & Co., U.S.A.). For children of 7 to 9, Hugh Laurence's smaU volume, " Tales of an Old Yew Tree " (Blackie), offers simple stories of British History. A delight- ful little book — covering many times and peoples — is Miss Mabel Quiller-Couch's " Children in History " (Frowde and Hodder's Oxford History Readers).
So far I have been alluding, especially, to tales of European and British History. For those who desire to find illustration of American History, Harper's Strange Stories Series may be recommended; there are four volumes in this series, dealing respectively with Colonial Days, the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War — the stories being written by such favourite authors as Howard Pyle, M. E. Seawell, &c. Again, a large selection is offered in the CivU War, Colonial, and Indian volumes published by the Century Company in their Stories retold from St. Nicholas ; in this same series there are further volumes deaUng with General History and Legend (Greece, Rome, &c.). Studies of such American heroes as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Lafayette, Lincoln, &c
426 SUPPLEMENT.
wiU be found in Elbridge S. Brooks's The True Story Series (Lothrop). Turning, for a moment, to a series in which fiction largely predominates, the numerous volumes in The Boys of Liberty Library (David McKay, Philadelphia) cover the American Revolution, the French and Indian Wars, and the Naval Fights of i8i2 ; they are written by John De Morgan, T. C. Harbaugh, and others. In the volume entitled, " Letters from Colonial Children," by Eva March Tappan (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.), early American Colonial periods are illustrated through the medium of letters supposed to have been written from the Colonies to friends in the Old World. For more exact guidance in the matter of American History-books, I would refer inquirers to the section headed " Historical Stories for the Elementary School " in " A Bibliography of History for Schools and Libraries : with descriptive and critical annotations," by Charles M. Andrews, Ph.D., Professor of History in the Johns Hopkins University; Jv Montgomery GambriU ; and Lida Lee Tall. This excellent work has been published recently by Longmans & Co., New York, " under the auspices of the Association of History Teachers of the Middle States and Maryland."
Going to yet another department of Juvenile illustration, weU-selected passages from Bede, Froissart, Scott, Browning, Defoe, &c., may be found in " Dramatic Scenes from History," edited by Fanny Johnson (E. Arnold, 1908) : and this brings me to books of historical poetry, some of which I have recommended elsewhere {vide p. 163). Two specially attractive volumes are, " Poetry of Empire : Nineteen Centuries of British History," edited by John and Jean Lang, with Sixteen Illustrations in colour by W. Rainey (T. C. & E. C. Jack, 1910) ; and " Poems of American History," edited by Burton E. Stevenson
SUPPLEMENT. 427
(Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1908). The following books are much smaller, but decidedly useful : " English History in Verse," edited by Ernest Pertwee (Routledge, Eng. ; and Button, U.S.A., 1906) ; " Ballads and Poems illus- trating EngUsh History," edited by F. Sidgwick (Cam- bridge University Press, 1907) ; and " A Book of Poetry illustrative of English History," edited by G. Dowse (Macmillan, 1908), in three parts, viz. (i) a.d. 61-1485 ; (2) The Tudors and Stuarts ; (3) The Hanoverian Dynasty. To Miss Josephine Smith's lists of Poetry illustrating Enghsh History, I draw my readers' attention elsewhere (see Bibliography, p. 434). Lastly, I may mention that The School World (Macmillan) for March, 1909, has an interesting article by Miss Fanny Johnson on " School Plays," giving Usts of Historical and Romantic Plays suitable for young folk ; the same number of this magazine, it is worth noting, contains some carefully balanced remarks on " Historical Story Books," by Professor F. J. C. Heamshaw.
Having thus found myself once more in the region of Prose, it is, perhaps, fitting that I should indicate, at the very end of this section, two volumes of short stories which, seeing that they are hardly to be classed with any of the various books here recommended, ought to be considered apart : I allude to Rudyard Kipling's " Puck of Pook's Hill," and the sequel, " Rewards and Fairies " (Macmillan, Eng. ; and Doubleday, U.S.A.). The tales comprised in these volumes furnish an original blend of fairy tale and history, and youthful readers will find therein much enter- taining reflection of ancient, mediaeval, and more recent life : Romans (Britain), Picts, Saxons, Normans, Danes, English, French, Americans — all flit across Mr. Kipling's pages.
BIBLIOGRAPHY.
BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Besides the list already given (pp. 167-174) of books and articles, &c., dealing with Historical Fiction, I set down here a few of the more interesting contributions to the subject, which have appeared in the seven years beginning 1904.
Article on " Maunis Jokai and the Historical Novel," by H. W. V. Temperley, in The Contemporary Review for July, 1904 ; also appears in The Living Age (Boston, U.S.A.) of August 13, 1904.
Article on " Mr. Stanley Weyman's Novels " in The Church Quarterly Review for January, 1905. [Contains a strong plea for Historical Romance in the opening sections.]
Chapter V. (" The Waverley Novels "), Chapter VI. (" Scott's
Greatness "), and Chapter XIII. (" Charles Reade ") in
" The Makers of English Fiction," by W. J. Dawson (Hodder
& Stoughton, Eng. ; and Revell, U.S.A.).
[Some acute remarks on Historical Romance are to be found
in each of the three chapters specified above.]
The Lists of Fiction dealing with Nelson and his times, compiled by James Hooper, Jonathan Nield, and others in Notes and Queries, Tenth Series, Vol. III. (January — June, 1905) pp. 26, 77, 116, and 294.
Dr. Richard Gamett's Introduction in the new edition of " The Household of Sir Thomas More," by Anne Manning (De La More Press, 1905). [A well-balanced estimate of the Historical Novel by one whose
knowledge and literary judgment were really wonderful. This
short essay has a special value as embodying some of a great scholar's
reflections at the end of his long life.]
432 SUPPLEMENT.
The second edition, " revised and greatly enlarged," of H. Courthope Bowen's " Descriptive Catalogue of Historical Novels and Tales. For the Use of School Libraries and Teachers of History " (Stanford, 1905).
[It is a great pity that, in this later edition of his Catalogue, Mr. Bowen — who was a pioneer in his own Une of Bibliography — did not do more to improve his original work (published 1882 : vide p. 168 of this volume). Apparently ignoring what had been done by others, he allowed glaring mistakes to remain, and his Usts, as they now stand, are most inaccurate as well as most incomplete. Several well-known romances are re-entered under their sub-titles as separate books ! Indeed, there can have been no serious attempt at verification in numerous cases.]
" History in Fiction : a Guide to the Best Historical Romances, Sagas, Novels, and Tales," by Ernest A. Baker. Vol. I. English Fiction ; Vol. II. American and Foreign Fiction (Koutledge, Eng. ; and Dutton, U.S.A., 1907).
[The author's wide reputation is well sustained by these really excellent lists, which for the most part are fully annotated, and conveniently arranged under Countries. Perhaps it would have been better if the entry of exact dates had only been attempted where a book was known at first-hand. Besides Historical Fiction proper, some seventy to eighty volumes of Sagas and Mediaeval Romances are included : to the student such an addition must prove very useful. On the other hand, it is doubtful whether the value of Dr. Baker's work is really enhanced by the inclusion of such barely semi-historic examples as the fourteen novels of Charles Dickens which appear, with brief comment, on p. 117 (Vol. I.). Turning from Novels to Juvenile Tales, these lists seem to me far less satis- factory on that side : the notes, besides being often meagre, are not always reliable, while a great many of the best tales — published before " History in Fiction " was compiled — do not appear at all. A good feature in each volume is the Index.]
Article on " The Growth of the Historical Novel," by Rowland E. Prothero, in The Quarterly Review for January, 1907.
[A very valuable contribution. The origin and growth of Historical Fiction are dealt with at considerable length.]
The essay on " A Historical Romance " in John Morley's " Miscel- lanies, 4tli Series " (Macmillan & Co., 1908).
SUPPLEMENT. 433
[Some extremely interesting remarks on Historical Romance in general, as well as on the particular book — Mr. Frederic Harrison's " Theophano " — which occasioned the essay. Appeared first in The Nineteenth Century for October, 1904.]
Chapter VI. (" Background ") in " The Technique of the Novel," by Charles F. Home, Assistant Professor of English in the College of New York City (Harper & Brothers, 1908).
[There is a well-written section on " The Historical Novel," in die chapter above-mentioned. I quote one passage : " Historic novels may do far more for history than make it ' pleasant medicine.' They may vivify, they may interpret it, as the sober historian never can."]
Chapter VI. (" Modern Romanticism : Scott ") in "Masters of the EngUsh Novel," by Richard Burton, Professor of EngUsh Literature in the University of Minnesota (George Bell & Sons, Eng. ; and Henry Holt & Co., U.S.A., 1909).
[A fair and thoroughly sane estimate of Historical Romance, and of the true relation between " the story of truth and the story of poetry."]
The chapter on " Scott and Romanticism " in Part II. of " A History of Story-telling," by Arthur Ransome (T. C. and E. C. Jack, Eng. ; and F. A. Stokes & Co., U.S.A., 1909).
[Vigorously written, and distinctly illuminating.]
The " Introduction," by Arthur James Grant, Professor of History in the University of Leeds, in the volume of " Scott " selec- tions which forms one of the Masters of Literature Series (George Bell & Sons, 1909).
[Exceedingly interesting and instructive.]
The sections on " Setting in Historical Fiction " and " The Question of Anachronism " in Chapter IV. (" The Study of Prose Fiction ") of William H. Hudson's " Introduction to the Study of Literature " (George G. Harrap & Co., Eng. ; and D. C. Heath, U.S.A., 1910).
[Brief, but suggestive.]

434 SUPPLEMENT.
The section on " Creative Art : Prose Fiction " in " The Literature of the Victorian Era," by Hugh Walker, LL.D., Professor of English in St. David's College, Lampeter (Cambridge University Press, Eng. ; and G. P. Putnam's Sons, U.S.A., 1910).
[Especially interesting and noteworthy, for readers of Historical Romance, are the remarks on Scott and his imitators (pp. 619-621) ; those on Thackeray (pp. 704-706) ; those on Reade (pp. 763—765) ; and those on the Later Fiction (pp. 753-755).]
The articles on " A Novel-Reader's Course of English History," by Ernest Baker, M.A., D.Lit., appearing in T. P.'s Weekly, June 24, and July 8, 1910. [An interesting attempt to point out the more important romances
dealing with the various English epochs.]
Article on " The Importance of the Historical Novel," by J. F. Harris, in The Journal of Education for August, 1910.
[A forcible plea for the uses of Imaginative Literature in the training of youth.]
The paragraphs of " Illustrative Material " [Prose and Poetry), contributed by Miss Josephine C. Smith of Cincinnati Uni- versity, in " Reading References for English History," by Henry Lewin Cannon, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of History, Leland Stanford Junior University (Ginn & Co., Eng. and U.S.A., 1910). [The lists of Historical Fiction in this work are neither complete nor reliable : they are largely based on previous bibliographies of the subject, and repeat many inaccuracies. On the other hand. Miss Smith's lists of Poetry illustrating English History, will be found decidedly useful.]
The annotated lists of " Historical Novels " and " Stories of Irish
Life in the Past," in " A Readers' Guide to Irish Fiction,"
by Stephen J. Brown, S.J. (Longmans & Co., Eng. and U.S.A.,
1910).
[Wonderfully comprehensive lists of novels and tales which in
some way illustxate Irish life and history. The descriptive notes —
often of considerable length — are interesting, and commendably
free from bias. Naturally, some of the romances included can hardly
attract the non-Irish reader ; on the other hand, a few tales of general
interest might still be added. The book contains useful notes on
authors.]

INDEX OF AUTHORS AND TITLES
(Supplement).
Note. — The Birth and Death dates of Authors have been given where possible. It must be noted that the book dates refer to original publication ; a great many of the older books (espe- cially those which appeal to juvenile readers) have been brought out in new form within the last year or two. Transla- tion dates are ignored, but in the case of one or two foreign books I have had to be content with the approximate date of issue ; the latter remark applies also to a few mid-Nineteenth Century English volumes. It seems almost superfluous to remind readers that the Indexes which follow, have reference to the Supplement only : when consulting the earlier lists, see pp. 177-235.

Some Notices {English^ American^ and Foreign) of '' A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales'^
" Mr, Nield has set himself a useful task, and he has done it well. Thousands of people everjr year owe to fiction their first love of history. . . . It is to them that Mr. Nield most strongly appeals in his admirable Guidctothc Best Historical Novels and Tales "
R. E. Prothero, in The Quarterly Review, January, 1907.
" Shows continuous improvements in its new editions. . . . The clearness and conciseness of the book add immensely to its value." The Times (Literary Supplement).
" We are glad to see a third edition of Mr. Nield's most capable Guide to the best Historical Novels and Tales." The Athenfflum.
"A useful volume. . . . Theideaof the book, thearrangingofhistoricaltalesaccordingtocenturies, is a good one, and worked out with much care." The Spectator.
" The third edition of an extremely useful and interesting book. If the taking of pains be a mark of genius, Mr. Nield may lay fair claim to a genius for bibliography. The work is a complete chrono- logical guide to historical novels, with adequate details and divided into convenient sections. . . . AJl lovers of fiction and students of history should possess this excellent guide-book."
The Academy and Literature.
'* Mr. Nield's Guide is most interesting in its discussion and defence of the genre of historical novels."
Andkew Lang, in Longman's Magazine.
" I have abstained from some excellent arguments advanced by Mr. Jonathan Nield in A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales ; and purposely, that I might have the pleasure of referring the reader to a terse and careful piec^ of work." Sir A. T. Quiller-Couch, in The Dally News.
" Manifestly the public libraries ought to be equipped for serious reading.. . . . And the obvious direct method to equip them is to organise an association, to work if possible with the librarians. . . . The first business of such an association would be to get ' Guides ' to various fields of human interest written, guides that should be clear, explicit bibliographies. ... I may note here a very good little book by Mr. J. Nield, A Guide to the Best Historical Novels, which would be useful to librarians in revising that department of fiction." H. G. Wells, in Mankind in the Making.
*' Mr. Jonathan Nield may be congratulated on his Guide having found its way into a third edition. . The book indicates enormous research." C. K. S., in The Sphere.
" The book is not only a valuable work of reference, but, what it claims to be, a pleasant and an edifying guide to the lover and the student of historical fiction. . . . We are delighted to have made acquaintance with Mr. Nield's valuable book, and are content to think we shall have it at hand for future suggestion and reference." Kotes and Queries.
" Mr. Nield's book appears in a third edition, tJae third since May, 1902, a fact which proclaims public acceptation of the work, . . . With this lantern-guide in hand, the reader may |)ilot his way through the centuries, from Ancient Babylon and Mummied Dynasties to the minor revolutions of the late nineteenth century, happily stepping on bridges and mounds of Romance. His knowledge, after a completed course, will be extensive, and his sympathies enlightened."
Scottish Historical Review.
" What is an historical novel ? The question has received many difierent answers, and a fresh one is now attempted by Mr. Jonathan Nield. ... As for saying that a man cannot project himself into a past age so as completely to represent its idiosyncracy in every particular, and that he should there- fore abstain from the attempt, Mr. Nield very truly says that neither can a man identify himself with the moral and social atmosphere of twenty years ago so entirely as this criticism requires. It is enough that he can do it sufficiently to make his characters living realities."
Standard (Leading Article).
" It may be reasonably asked whether most of us do not gain a clearer notion of the policies of the t wo great Cardinals who built up the French monarchy in the seventeenth century, or of the mysterious and alluring character of Henri Quatre, from Dumas than from Michelet. At any rate, Mr. Nield thinks so, and most readers will be prepared to admit that his able preface makes out a very strong case for such an educational use of historical novels as his full and carefully classified lists make possible."
The Manchester Guardian (Leading Article).
" Mr. Jonathan Nield's very useful Guide to Historical Novels." Daily Chronicte.
" Most interesting. . . Mr. Nield's book should be in the hands of all historical teachers, and easily accessible at all public libraries." Daily News.
" Mr. Jonathan Nield, who rendered a great service to students of letters a few years ago by his compilation of a guide to historical novels, has added to the usefulness of his book by greatly extending it in a new edition. Mr. Nield's work is unique. ... On the whole, we have nothing but admiration for the plan of the book, for the loving care which has been given to it, and for the growing compre- hensiveness of it. ' A Guide ... * is one of the books which belong essentially to the literature of letters." Daily Maii.
" Mr. Nield has done his work in a broad and catholic spirit." Liverpool Daily PosL
" Mr. Jonathan Nield has revised and amended to a notable degree the third edition of his valuable reference book. . . . Useful, reliable, and instructive." Giasgow Herald.
" Mr. Jonathan Nield's valuable bibliographical work . . . has gained a wide reputation among librarians, reading clubs, and the more serious among novel readers." The Scotsman.
" Revised and enlarged so extensively, especially in details, as to be almost a new book — a well deserved popularity." The Educational Times.
*' Within a measurable degree of bibliographical perfection. . . . The completeness, variety and accuracy of its contents make it quite indispensable to teachers and students of history, to the keepers of school and other libraries, and to the lovers of belles lettres generally." School World.
" This most useful guide, which is indispensable for the school teacher of history."
Journal of Education.
*' Invaluable to teachers. , . . Should be foimd in every school library." Education.
"This admirable guide. . . . Altogether, a compact, accurate, and valuable companion to the novel-reader who wants to systematize his reading, and an exceedingly useful aid for the librarians of both adult and juvenile libraries." Library World.
" This useful and suggestive work " Library Association Record.
" Includes an invaluable catalogue. . . . Apart from the bibUography, there is much interesting general information in this volume, and I wish to call particular attention to the section entitled ' Fifty Representative Historical Novels.'" X. P.'s Weekly.
" A painstaking and useful piece of work . . . In an interesting Introduction, the author explains the principle on which he has inserted some books and omitted others. , . . We found every book of which we happened to think in its proper place." Xhe Guardian.
"Has deservedly won an honourable name. . . . Whereverpossible, Mr. Nield has profited by good advice, with the result that he must be congratulated on bavins: compiled the best guide on the best histoncal novels." ^ Birmingham Daily Post.
" So admirable is the arrangement of the volume, and so interesting its contents. . . . This book should be in every library, whilst real lovers of historical romance, on once becoming acquainted with it, will wish to possess a copy of the Guide for constant use. To the elders, this book will recall past pleasures in the company of familiar friencte in romance. To the young it will call up visions of delight- ful reading in the future. And if we look to the best historical fiction for the imaginative interjjretation of life in the past, its great personages, events, and movements, all leading up to our own time, Mr. Nield's Guide may prove a key to umock for us the moving drama of the world's history."
The Inquirer.
" No one can make even a superficial examination of this work, and especially of the bibliography appended to it, without recognising the vast amount of painstaking labour that has been involved in its production. . . . The principles which have been foUowed in the compilation of the work are set forth in an interesting Introduction, manifesting fulness of information and soundness of literary judgment. . . . Manifestly the product of immense labour and much thought."
Aberdeen Free Press.
" A standard work, which has to be in every library." The Queen.
" In its present expanded form it provides a work of reference indispensable not only to librarians, but to all who are interested in the important branch of literature to which it is so complete and in- structive a guide." The World.
" The orderliness and simplicity of arrangement of the work will be obvious to all who use it."
Literary World.
" This admirable and discriminating work. The wonderful store of knowledge it exhibits, and the laborious research which its preparation must have involved, cannot fail to impress even the most superficial critic. The bibliography appended is in itself well worth the price asked for the book."
Christian Life.
" It ought to find a place in every public library, in every schoolmaster's study, and on the book- shelves of every literary man and every book-lover." Grfiat Thoughts
" Practically a new book, having been ' revised and enlarged * into nearly double the number of pages. . . . Should be of the greatest value to the historical student." Leeds Mercury.
" A volume of real and permanent utility." fl^e Globe.
" The Historical Novel. . . . This subject, which has been considered from pretty nearly all possible points of view, receives additional illumination through a recent study — A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Tales, by Jonathan Nield. . . . Every reader of historical fiction will admit the con- venience of an arrangement by which one may see at a glance the periods of history that novelists have chosen or neglected." The Nation, U.S.A. (Leading Article).
*' Mr. Jonathan Nield is the compiler of A Guide to the Best Historical Novels and Taies, which should serve a useful purpose in every public library, and which many readers will be glad to have on their own shelves or tables for constant reference. ... It would be easy to criticise such a list at
points for what it contains or omits, and to add to it indefinitely. Let the critic do his best or worst
—and then go on and make a better." Literary World, Boston, Mass.
" There is apparently no end to the ambitions and achievements of bibliographers. They are assiduous workers in every possible field of literary endeavour, and their labours reach beyond what many less indefatigable investigators would consider insurmountable obstacles. The latest biblio- grapher to publish his work — it must be remembered that many valuable bibliographies never oass the manuscript stage — is Jonathan Nield. . . . The general reader will find Mr. Nield's preface the most entertaining part of his book. ' Boston Evening Transcript.
" That Mr. Nield has done his work intelligently, all readers will agree." New York Herald
"A new edition — the third — testifies to the usefulness of a work whose compilation must have been a laborious task indeed." New York Evening MaiL
" The praise we were moved to give it on its first appearance is now to be given in greater measure. . . , Mr. Nield's Introduction, dealing with the historical novel in general and his own principles of choice in particular, is suggestive. . . . There is very little to complain of in Mr. Nield's practice of his principles, and his book, with its bibliography and indexes of authors and titles, is an extremely useful contribution to the literature of the subject."
New York Times Saturday Review of Books.
" The author's list has been extended and strengthened, his descriptive notes especially having been improved. . . The book is comprehensive, and, for a literary worker, it is invaluable."
New York Tribune.

New York Sun.
"This is a very useful book, and in its present form is far more valuable than it was before."
The Dial (Chicago).
" A book that will save the public librarian many questions." New York Independent.
'* It is possible, if one prefers to get his history along the primrose path, to acguaint himself with nearly every epoch of ancient and modem civilisation by the perusal of historical fiction. Mr. Jonathan Nield has brought this out in detail in bis Guide. . Writers of historical fiction in search of un-
explored tracts may get guidance from this book." New York Mail and Express.
" C'est une idde ing^nieuse. . . , On guide ainsi les lecteurs a travers un vaste monde ou chacun peut . . , dds lors aller vers les contr^es et les figures qui le sollicitent." Revue des Deux MondeS-
" Mr. Jonathan Nield's Guide has attained a recognised position as the standard bibliography on the subject. . . . Wehavenothingbut praise for the accuracy of the text and the fulness of the biblio- graphy and the indexes, and can conceive few more serviceable books to a teacher of Universal History, whatever his or her nationality." Skandinavisk Manadsrevy (Sweden).
