THE WHITE KING;
Reading edition
or, England and Englishmen in the Reign of Charles I.
By W. H. Davenport Adams.
This work opens with a sketch of Charles’s life, and goes on to deal with the leading statesmen, courtiers, authors, artists, &c. The worthies of Charles’s reign—apart from the Civil War, which is not dealt with—are, to many readers, unfamiliar, and it has been the aim of the author to throw light on these more obscure characters and aspects of the earlier portion of the seventeenth century.
