Excerpt from The Life and Times of King Edward VII, Vol. 1 He and none other was the man upon whom the People depended for finding a safe and honourable way out of the deadlock in the, Constitution. Though the triumph has been reserved for his successor, the story of King Edward's life is nevertheless rich in interest, and worthy to be told on an ample scale. These volumes are an attempt to unfold it in such fashion as will depict the Man and the Sovereign, and will narrate the public affairs of the years of his life especially in so far as his personal influence is traceable in them.
