Excerpt from History of King Alfred of England King alfred or england is one of the noblest of the sovereigns upon whom History has conferred the title of The Great. At the very beginning of the world-encircling history of the anglo-saxon race looms his majestic figure. We see him through the mist of ten centuries hurling back the invaders of his country, giving peace to his realm, ruling it with consummate wisdom, laboring arduously at the translation and com position of books that his subjects might receive the precious light of learning, codifying their laws that justice might prevail in the land, - ih short, building up out of his broken little dominions a kingdom des. Tined to become the corner stone of the mighty Britigh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Wulnoth the Wanderer: A Story of King Alfred of England By night and by day did the warders guard his towers; by night and by day were his long ships ready to put to sea; by night and by day did a hundred shields gleam in his halls, and a hundred spears rest beside them; and by night and by day were there a hundred strong hands ready to grasp the one or to prise the other. For across the dark waves was the way of the sea-kings, and no man could say when their long ships might come sailing from Denmark or Juteland to carry fire and sword along the coast. Well it became the King to be watchful; and for his watchfulness was there now peace in the land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of King Richard the First of England The author of this series has made it his spe cial object to confine himself very strictly, even in the most minute details which he records, to historic truth. The narratives are not tales founded upon history, but history itself, without any embellishment, or any deviations from the strict truth so far as it can now be discovered by an attentive examination of the annals writ ten at the time when the events themselves cc curred. In writing the narratives, the author has endeavored to avail himself of the best sources of information which this country af fords; and though, of course, there must be in these volumes, as in all historical accounts.

Excerpt from History of King Richard the Third of England King richard the third, known com mouly in history as Richard the Usurper, was perhaps as bad a man as the principle of hered itary sovereignty ever raised to the throne, or perhaps it should rather be said, as the principle of hereditary sovereignty ever made. There is no evidence that his natural disposition was marked with any peculiar depravity. He was made reckless, unscrupulous, and cruel by the influences which surrounded him, and the cir cumstances in which he lived, and by being habituated to believe, from his earliest child hood, that the family to which he belonged were born to live in luxury and splendor, and to reign, while the millions that formed the great mass of the community were created only to toil and to obey. The manner in which the principles of pride, ambition, and desperate love of power, which were instilled into his mind in his earliest years, brought forth in the end their.
