Mr. Jenkins, whose name remains on the title-page of this volume, was prevented from finishing the work for a long time by sickness, and finally by death. The first chapter is from his pen, and the rest has been written according to his instructions by one whom he selected, and who has had access to works rare in this country, such as Monstrelet’s Chronicles, Tooke’s Life of Catherine II., Madame Roland’s Appeal, etc. (Summary by TriciaG & Publisher’s Preface)
