Short History of Hampton Court e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This volume has been compiled from the author's larger works with the view of affording a continuous narrative of events, and a picture of life at Hampton Court, during the four centuries of its history, in such a compact and compendious form, and at so moderate a price, as to bring it within the range and means of the general reader.<br><br>Consequently, while all that seemed essential to this object has been reproduced in the present book, much topographical detail and many discussions on questions of art and archaeology, which occupy a considerable space in The History of Hampton Court Palace, in three quarto volumes, have necessarily been either greatly abbreviated, or altogether omitted.
