Excerpt from The Descendants of the Stuarts: An Unchronicled Page in England's History Neither if we turn to personal memoirs of the royal family,6 where more precision might be expected, is the desired information to be found; for, following in the wake of our national historians, they treat only of the children of the reigning monarchs: nor are they included in the lists of the queens of England, the princesses of England, or the princes of Wales; for in none of these categories do they figure: lastly, with two exceptions, they have never formed the subject of separate biographies so that it would almost seem as if historians with one consent had conspired to sweep their remembrance from off the earth.
