Morning Post.—“The story of Monmouth’s career is one of the most remarkable in the annals of English History, and Mr. Fea’s volume is singularly fascinating. Not only does it supplement and correct the prejudiced though picturesque pages of Macaulay, but it seems to make the reader personally acquainted with a large number of the characters who prominently figured in the conspiracies and in the intrigues, amorous and political, when society and politics were seething in strange cauldrons.”
