The "Dedicatory Epistle" in Scott's "Ivanhoe."
The very brief but exceedingly suggestive opening section in
Chapter I. of Charles Reade's "The Cloister and the Hearth."
The Preface to Scheffel's "Ekkehard."
NOTE.
Some of the American Public Libraries (notably Boston) have issued
useful Lists of Historical Novels.
Two works--announced for a considerable time--I should have been
glad to consult; these are Mr. P. L. Ford's "The American
Historical Novel" (Macmillan), and Mr. E. A. Baker's "Guide to
Fiction" (Sonnensehein). The last-named volume will, I understand,
contain a section devoted to Historical Romance.
