     * 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。
