     * 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 READINGJUVENILE。 

       As likely to assist Parents and Teachers; I propose to give two lists

respectively;   but   a   passing   allusion   may;   first   of   all;   be   made   to   tales
