Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Aristocracy, and Episodes in Ancestral Story, Vol. 1 of 2 Spirit Of adventure, which must make some of them, at least, heroes of marvellous transactions at every time, whether their course of life confines them to their stately mansions, and their unrivalled Senate at home, or whe ther it leads them to foreign travel, or to fields of war. And we submit that such is the case upon the attesta tion of these volumes. Let the reader seek romance, in whatever book and at whatever period he will, from Cervantes to Bulwer, yet naught will he find to surpass the uncommon and unexaggerated reality unfolded here - naught to convince him that the poetry of the brain can rival in interest the pages of British family history.
