* 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 READINGJUVENILE。
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 remended; 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 parison 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
78

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 remended for American
History; while Scott; Dumas; Charlotte M。 Yonge; Miss Roberts (author of
〃Mademoiselle Mori〃); and G。 A。 Henty; have all illustratedin more or
less adequate fashionthe 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。
