Synopsis

Excerpt from The King Over the Water

The subject of this Biography was unfortunate in his life, and perhaps even more unfortunate in the treatment which he has received at the hands of historians The weak, the bigoted, the obstinate Old Pretender, are examples of the flowers which historians scatter on his grave. He is accused of the fatal preference for favourites, which helped to ruin so many Of the Stuart kings; and, in his quarrel with his wife, History has, as is natural, sided with the lady, and accepted the worst of the contemporary rumours against the character of her lord.
