If a fellow were to describe this book as a light romp through a bit of English history, the public may place its confidence in his powers of perception; likewise, if a lady were to deduce, after having turned-over the final sheet, that she had communed with a work of loose and libertine character, no one could justly accuse her of a lie. This book, though it treats with facts and figures, is first and foremost, a work of recreation and humor. To present the thing in its full aspect; to round-out the picture and fulfill, fully, our duties vis-?-vis the back cover brief, we may say that within, we have endeavored to air a few wise cracks. Enjoy!
