A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

England sone and only A lfred, the writer wishes it to be understood that it is intended primarily for that large section of the public who, while desiring to be duly posted in current topics, have little time for reading exhaustive treatises, even upon the most important and interesting subjects, outside their own proper spheres of activity. His aim has been to give such a glimpse of the man (whose name is at present upon so many tongues) and of his times as shall convey to the reader, not only the chief facts that History has handed down or Tradition suggested, but more especially an impression of their actuality, there being a confessed tendency abroad to regard our first and greatest national hero rather as a myth than as a veritable man. As regards Tradition, it may be objected that it scarce deserves a place in History. The writer thinks otherwise. Where there is smoke there is fire.
