Book Description

Excerpt from The Outlaw: An Historical Romance The last month of spring was passing, and the warm breath and genial influence of summer were shortly to be heralded by the blithe and bonny May. Those who wrote, dated the year 1688 a period of deep and exciting, and now of immortal, interest, in our nation's history. At the time our narrative commences, the second James had just been compelled to submit to an investigation touching the legitimacy of his son; but with history, or historical personages, we have at present little to do, our details being devoted chiefly to private individuals and private events.
