A reference to the General List will, in
most cases, reveal a more exact specification; for the sake of
convenience, the tales are here grouped according to Reigns only.
Of the romances dealing with American and Foreign History to be
found in the foregoing pages, many are suitable for young readers;
but the sequence not being very close (for any lengthy period at
least), separate lists would appear superfluous. Such writers (to
mention only a few) as Fennimore Cooper, Mrs. J. G. Austin, G. C.
Eggleston, Kirk Munroe, and Elbridge S. Brooks, may be particularly
recommended for American History; while Scott, Dumas, Charlotte M.
Yonge, Miss Roberts (author of "Mademoiselle Mori"), and G. A.
Henty, have all illustrated--in more or less adequate fashion--the
course of events in Foreign Countries. The novels of Dumas are not
infrequently considered somewhat "strong meat," but his " She-
Wolves of Machecoul" and "Black Tulip" may be safely placed in any
hands.
