Chapter I: of Charles Reade's "The Cloister and the Hearth."

The Preface to Scheffel's "Ekkehard."

NOTE.

Some of the American Public Libraries (notably Boston) have issued useful Lists of Historical Novels.

Two works--announced for a considerable time--I should have been glad to consult; these are Mr. P. L. Ford's "The American Historical Novel" (Macmillan), and Mr. E. A. Baker's "Guide to Fiction" (Sonnensehein). The last-named volume will, I understand, contain a section devoted to Historical Romance.
