Excerpt from The King's RivalsFrom the hint this small child gave his grand dad, then, I have taken my lesson, and in def erence to it have condensed into as small space as I am able, all necessary explanation, begging that for this sacrifice of garrulity on my part, in turn I may be granted indulgence for some future faults from those whose eyes may light in kindness upon these words.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
