Book Description

Excerpt from Letters of Royal and Illustrious Ladies of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Commencement of the Twelfth Century to the Close of the Reign of Queen Mary It is a trite saying, that a woman is to be judged by her letters. If this adage be true, the present volumes, unfolding a series of these records, extending over a period of four centuries and a-half, will not be deemed an unwelcome addition to an interesting class of literature. The selection of the letters contained in the present volumes has been attended with some difficulty, owing to the comparative paucity of examples previously to the commencement of the 16th century, and their multiplicity subsequently to that period.
