| General note | "The reigns of Charles the Second and his unfortunate brother are certainly among the darkest pages of English history. ... The truth seems to be that even in the court itself were to be found some shining instances of virtue, both among men and women; and that among the body of the people were many devout Christians seems to be proved by the great number and ready sale of books inculcating the most exalted purity and spirituality. It is this bright side of the picture that I have attempted to display"--Preface, [6], signed: L.E.G. |
