* 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。
