The author produced two books titled _Historical Vignettes_: one in
1910 (T. Fisher Unwin, London), and the other in 1912 (Sidgwick &
Jackson, London). Being the later, “2nd Series” has been appended to
the title to distinguish it from the former (_i.e._ “1st Series”).
Minor spelling inconsistencies (_e.g._ birdseller/bird-seller, etc.)
have been preserved.
