Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Wars of the Roses one of the most brutal struggles in our history are remarkable for the fact that they caused little suffering or distress to the great body of the people. While the nobles and their retainers were engaged in savage fighting, ordinary citizens carried on their work as usual, not greatly caring whether the Red Rose or the White proved victorious, and for the most part quite untouched by the war. The following pages deal mainly with the home life of a simple tradesman and his family at a time when the darkness of the Middle A ges was yielding before the dawn of the New Learning, a movement in which the art of printing was to have so important a share.
