The Heroines of History

by John S. Jenkins (1818-1852)

A look at some of the famous women in European history:
Cleopatra, Isabella of Castile, Joan of Arc, Maria Theresa,
Josephine, Elizabeth of England, Mary of Scotland, Catherine of
Russia, Marie Antoinette, and Madame Roland.

Mr. Jenkins, whose name remains on the title-page of this volume,
was prevented from finishing the work for a long time by sickness,
and finally by death. The first chapter is from his pen, and the rest
has been written according to his instructions by one whom he
selected, and who has had access to works rare in this country,
such as Monstrelet's Chronicles, Tooke's Life of Catherine Il,
Madame Roland's Appeal, etc. (publisher's preface)

Total running time: 14:59:22
