Excerpt from English Kings in a Nutshell: An Aid to the Memory To the illustrations, for which I can claim no credit, I may be allowed to call attention. They are not only refined and delicate in point of art, but they are conceived and arranged in the true historic spirit. They not only repeat and intensify, but enlarge, the story of the text, and thus add a distinct and special value to my booklet. It is to gratify myself that I make this public acknowledgment to the artist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
