Excerpt from The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck: A RomanceThe story of Perkin Warbeck was first suggested to me as a subject for historical detail. On studying it, I became aware of the romance which his story contains, while, at the same time, I felt that it would be impossible for any narration, that should be confined to the incorporation of facts related by our old Chroniclers, to do it justice.It is not singular that I should entertain a belief that Perkin was, in reality, the lost duke of York. For, in spite of Hume, and the later historians who have followed in his path, no person who has at all studied the subject but arrives at the same con elusion. Records exist in the Tower, some well known, others with which those 'who have access to those interesting papers are alone acquainted, which put the question almost beyond a doubt.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
