The memoirs of our great families exhibit details of the most stirring and romantic character, throwing light on the principal occurrences of domestic annals, and elucidating the most important national events. Almost every eminent house has some episode connected with it, some tradition interwoven with its rise or greatness. Let the reader seek romance in whatever book and at whatever period he will, from Cer- vantes to BuKver, yet nought will he find to surpass the uncommon and unexaggerated reality unfolded here — nought to convince him that the poetry of the brain can rival in interest the pages of Bi it ish family history.
