Excerpt from The Romance of Royalty, Vol. 1
Modern history has no chapters more surprising in their vicissitudes, more entertaining in their revelations of human nature, than those included in the following pages. Such swift transitions, strange adventures, and moving tragedies, related of ordinary mortals, would give their biographies a fascination that is raised to intensity when the persons concerned are sovereign rulers.
Placed high above us, on a stage as it were, under fierce lights, and with the world for an audience, their words and actions, which moulded the destinies of nations and left indelible traces on their time, must be listened to and watched with abiding interest.
