Description
Excerpt from Court and Society From Elizabeth to Anne, Vol. 1 of 2
Hese chapters on the Court and Society from Elizabeth and Anne are based upon papers, of which nearly all the originals are at Kimbolton. A few are in the Record Office: one very curious paper is in the Private Cabinet of the Empress Eugenie; and a very important series are at Simancas. These papers are described in the text.
It was at first intended to offer but a slight sketch of Catharine of Aragon - just enough to exhibit the domestic and social position of Elizabeth when a girl. But the unexpected wealth of historical illustration which the Spanish archives yielded to the explorer sent out by our Government, suggested a more ample portrait of that noble and romantic Queen. It is hoped that the reader will not object to receive a little more than is promised on the title-page.
