Excerpt from Rochester and Other Literary Rakes of the Court of Charles II: With Some Account of Their Surroundings The frivolities and the vices of the Court of Charles II. are notorious; but, in contemptuously dismissing its courtiers from notice with short and scanty mention, students of their period have, perhaps, scarcely given sufficient recognition to the existence among them of a set of more or less literary rakes, of whom Rochester may be selected as one of the most characteristic. It will not be pretended in these pages that this little clique of writing and rhyming companions of Charles II. had an important influence on English literature; yet they probably exercised upon it an influence of some sort; and their appearance in a Court abandoned to pleasure was somewhat phenomenal. In a study of the rakish side of the Court of Charles II., and even in a study of the literary aspects of that rakishness, it will be necessary to enter some unsavoury places, and to mix among some questionable companions.

Excerpt from Charles II Few words of introduction are necessary to this book. I need scarcely say that it does not pro fess to be a record in any completeness of the life and reign of Charles II. It is little more than the result of an endeavour to trace in outline the influences which acted upon the inherited qualities of Charles himself, and which made him what we know him to have been at thirty years of age and, in the second place, to give some idea of the illimitable confusion into which the domestic policy of England, her social morality, and her foreign relations, alike fell, because, at the moment when the reaction towards kingship in the House of Stuart had obscured other considerations, and when the loosening of all ties, social, moral, and political, had left the soil vacant for the seed of evil example, such a monarch came to the throne.

Excerpt from Royalty Restored or London Under Charles II, Vol. 1 of 2 NO social history of the court of Charles II. Has heretofore been written. The Grammont Memoirs, devoid of date and detail, and addressed 'to those who read only for amuse ment, ' present but brief imperfect sketches of the wits and beauties who thronged the court of the merry monarch Whilst the brilliant Frenchman sojourned in England. Pepys, during the first nine years of the Restoration, narrates such gossip as reached him regarding Whitehall and the practices that Obtained there. Evelyn records some trifling actions of the king and his courtiers, with a view of pointing a moral, rather than from a desire of adorning a tale.

Excerpt from The Courtier of the Days of Charles II: With Other Tales Dwelling alone at the hall as lady paramount of the vast estate, she fell not into the usual faults of female sovereignty. Her rule was neither arbitrary nor capricious. The afflictions and vexa' tions of life had subdued rather than soured her temper. The ancient servitors of the house adored their lovely mistress, - the tenants respected her, - the poor (save when in the lady's hearing) never named her without blessings; for Anne Lovell had a proud and generous spirit, and abided not the servility of overstrained gratitude.
