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.
