In connection with this subject of Juvenile Literature； I would draw
attention to Messrs。 Constable's 〃Library of Historical Novels and
Romances〃so admirably edited by Mr。 G。 Laurence Gomme。 Readers
（old as well as young） are still further indebted to Mr。 Gomme for his
well…arranged series of extracts taken from Romantic Literature in the four
volumes entitled； 〃The King's Story Book；〃 〃The Queen's Story Book；〃
〃The Prince's Story Book；〃 and 〃The Princess's Story Book。〃 （Constable
& Co。）
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Although I have adopted the heading 〃Bibliography；〃 it should be
understood that； in offering the subjoined list； I do not claim for it absolute
prehensiveness。 There are； of course； almost innumerable
Biographies； Literary Studies； Histories of Literature and Fiction； &c。； in
which indirect references to our subject may be traced。 Moreover； in
preparing this little volume； it has been found necessary to consult largely
〃The Dictionary of National Biography；〃 the Enyclopaedias （especially
Chambers'； 1901）； and other Standard Works of the Dictionary type。 I
confine myself below to noteworthy writings which deal directly with the
subject of Historical Romance。

of opinion that the line of demarcation between the Historical Novel
proper and the Novel of Character or Adventure can be more clearly
drawn than he allows。 I was careful； when dealing with this qu
