Excerpt from King Edward VII. As a SportsmanThe natural idea of a volume on King Edward VII. As a Sportsman occurred to Messrs. Longman early in the year 1910. To obtain His Majesty's gracious permission was, of course, the first step, and this he was pleased to accord, condescending to suggest where certain material might be obtained, and to approve of the work being given into my hands. Only a little progress had been made when the King's deeply lamented death - how far this is from any conventional expression of grief need not be emphasised - threw his subjects into mourning and caused heartfelt distress far beyond the limits of his rule.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
