Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King, or the First Plantagenet: A Drama, Dedicated to Sir Salar Jung, on the Occasion of His Visit to England The dramatic form has been selected as likely to impress on the mind some of those interesting and remarkable qualities, with which spirits (though unseen) were ever inciting this heroic being. Each day of his eventful life he seemed to come forth clad in some fresh fervour and grand impulse he had been taught in mystic reveries. It may be true that history and biography should abound with facts, material and obvious, such as wars and great acts of governments yet there are moral, hidden facts, veiled for a time, which are no less real than the unseen parts of physical man. Indeed, they may be regarded as more essentially Operative than the more palpable and obvious. It is hoped the reader will not assume any of the. Sentiments in this volume as pointed at any existing ecclesiastical establishment. The chief characters are parz' passe; with Lord Littleton's life of the Second Henry. It is believed the assassination of A Becket was not dictated by the king. The Duchess de Bretagne, and some subordinates, may be regarded as types of the characters moving around the royal person.
