Excerpt from Royal Children of English History From Alfred the Great to Edward Seventh, Told for Boys and Girls The purpose of this book is to in the History of their Fatherland - Old England. It is the grandest History in the world. It is full of romance and adventure which never grow old. We have.selected for this volume the most interesting stories which center around the boys and girls who were born to high places. Their position in life was due to inheritance which they could not help, but the boys and girls of to-day do not owe their fortune to inheritance but to inheritance - and individual effort. Although it was thus with them, it will teach the lesson of contentment to those of us who are not born in royal purple, but who have greater opportunities than birth, to rise by our own struggles to places of eminence, and to earn, by living noble lives, the true purple, which is the symbol of royal worth. Every boy and girl may in this way become a royal child and have a career of usefulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
