Présentation de l'éditeur
No biography of Queen Mary II. has appeared since Miss Strickland devoted a volume to her in theL ives of the Queens of England. This volume is written with Miss Strickland susual picturesqueness and literary skill; but her political prejudices have prevented her from according the slightest sympathy to either William or Mary in fact, in her bitterness against them, she has occasionally distorted, or at least rearranged, historical facts. Besides, since she wrote, much fresh matter has become available. Dr. Doebner and Countess Bentinck have published some of Mary sletters, and, what is more important, portions of herM emoirs, which were intended for no eye but her own. Therefore, whatever excuses may be needed for the quality of this biography, no excuse is, I think, needed for attempting it, and I can at least say that all possible care has been taken to verify the statements it contains, and to conceal or distort nothing. In the letters written by Mary when Princess ofO range to her friend Lady Bathurst, I have had access to completely fresh material, and the fact that James made a determined attempt to separate his daughter from her husband has never, I think, been recorded in any English history or biography.
