* 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 READING--JUVENILE.

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 recommended; 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 comparison 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 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 recommended for American History; while Scott, Dumas, Charlotte M. Yonge, Miss Roberts (author of "Mademoiselle Mori"), and G. A. Henty, have all illustrated--in more or less adequate fashion--the 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.
