* SUPPLEMENTARY LIST OF NOTABLE NOVELS,
Which, while not strictly "Historical," in some way represent
bygone periods.
* Nothing like exhaustiveness is claimed for this "Supplementary
List;" the method of study therein indicated might be indefinitely
extended, but the few works given form an almost necessary
starting-point. A less restricted list would, of course, include
the Semi-Historic examples of such Foreign authors as Madame de
Stael, Balzac, Spielhagen, &c. The purport of this book being
primarily in the direction of Historical Romance proper, I have
confined my attention here to a few works on the borderland of my
Introductory definition.

SUGGESTED COURSES OF READING--JUVENILE.
As likely to assist Parents and Teachers, I propose to give two
lists (covering English History from the Norman Conquest) for Boys
and Girls respectively; but a passing allusion may, first of all,
be made to tales dealing with more ancient periods. For the
illustration of Greek and Roman History, those books of Professor
A. J. Church which are entered in my Pre-Christian section may be
safely recommended; while the pictures of First Century life given
in Wallace's "Ben Hur," Lytton's "Last Days of Pompeii," and Whyte
Melville's "The Gladiators" are, perhaps, as likely to interest an
intelligent boy or girl in the "teen" stage as any similar
productions that could be mentioned. Turning to the Early History
of our own isle, I would specially mention Mr. Henty's "Beric the
Briton"; the "Aescendune" series of tales ("Edwy the Fair," "Alfgar
the Dane," and "The Rival Heirs") by the late Rev. A. D. Crake; Mr.
C. W. Whistler's "Havelok the Dane," "A Thane of Wessex," &c.; and
the various books chosen to represent Alfred and his times.
In preparing the following lists, I have had in view, for the most
part, the average Juvenile taste; doubtless many of the more
advanced works might be offered in special cases, but, in regard to
that, the Parent or Teacher can alone judge. Some of the tales
entered in (I.) reappear in (II.), but a comparison will disclose
important differences. A reference to the General List will, in
most cases, reveal a more exact specification; for the sake of
convenience, the tales are here grouped according to Reigns only.
Of the romances dealing with American and Foreign History to be
found in the foregoing pages, many are suitable for young readers;
but the sequence not being very close (for any lengthy period at
least), separate lists would appear superfluous. Such writers (to
mention only a few) as Fennimore Cooper, Mrs. J. G. Austin, G. C.
Eggleston, Kirk Munroe, and Elbridge S. Brooks, may be particularly
recommended for American History; while Scott, Dumas, Charlotte M.
Yonge, Miss Roberts (author of "Mademoiselle Mori"), and G. A.
Henty, have all illustrated--in more or less adequate fashion--the
course of events in Foreign Countries. The novels of Dumas are not
infrequently considered somewhat "strong meat," but his " She-
Wolves of Machecoul" and "Black Tulip" may be safely placed in any
hands.

In connection with this subject of Juvenile Literature, I would
draw attention to Messrs. Constable's "Library of Historical Novels
and Romances"--so admirably edited by Mr. G. Laurence Gomme.
Readers (old as well as young) are still further indebted to Mr.
Gomme for his well-arranged series of extracts taken from Romantic
Literature in the four volumes entitled, "The King's Story Book,"
"The Queen's Story Book," "The Prince's Story Book," and "The
Princess's Story Book." (Constable & Co.)
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Although I have adopted the heading "Bibliography," it should be
understood that, in offering the subjoined list, I do not claim for
it absolute comprehensiveness. There are, of course, almost
innumerable Biographies, Literary Studies, Histories of Literature
and Fiction, &c., in which indirect references to our subject may
be traced. Moreover, in preparing this little volume, it has been
found necessary to consult largely "The Dictionary of National
Biography," the Enyclopaedias (especially Chambers', 1901), and
other Standard Works of the Dictionary type. I confine myself
below to noteworthy writings which deal directly with the subject
of Historical Romance.

the lover of Historical Romance has to deal. That which it is
possible to say against such fiction is said more forcibly by him,
perhaps, than by anyone else.]
