PREFACE.

THE VOLUMES which I have chiefly consulted during the preparation of this little work have been Warburton's " Memoirs of Prince Rupert," Clarendon's "History of the Rebellion," Miss Strickland's "Lives of the Queens of England," and some few others of less note. In a work of such slight pretensions I have not thought it necessary to append authorities for each fact recorded, and trust that a general reference to the above-mentioned names may be considered sufficient.
