Apart from a copy in the Duke University Library bound without the titled front covers we have been unable to locate any other existing copy either bound or in the original parts.<p>The sixth part ends with the Anglo-Saxons and the Battle of Hastings.<p>Printed by T.C. Savill at 4 Chandos Street for David Bogue.<p>"There has long been an outcty amongst the graver class of critics that historical novels are a great evil inasmuch as they misrepresent admitted facts: yet in spite of this denouncement they are still written and read while history itself is comparatively neglected. Nor is the reason at all difficult to comprehend; the dry hard matter-of-fact style which the generality of historical writers consider it necessary to adopt has to young and imaginative minds somewhat of a forbidding appearance. This evil can only be remedied by bringing the light and popular style in which these works are composed to bear upon history-- to describe its important truths in a more picturesque and familiar manner-- to bring out the actors and the scenery more boldly before the eye of the reader-- to throw more of a poetical spirit into the narrative-- and to give it all the fascination of fiction without altering a single recorded truth." Quoted from the "Advertisement" printed on the rear cover of each part.<p>Critics appear to have differed in their opinion of Thomas Miller's stated aim. The Church of England Quarterly Review Vol. 21 for the year 1847 states that "We may add that the author appears to have selected the safest authorities for his facts and has thrown over the dryness of history the grace without the exaggeration of poetry. This work is liberally embellished--two engravings to the number-- and the whole affair as regards typography and arrangement worthy of the originality of the undertaking."<p>Commenting on the author's "Advertisement" the June 5th 1847 edition of "The Spectator" proclaims "If this were done sparingly and with original knowledge under the guidance of a severe taste life and variety might be given to a work without losing sight of its nature; which is recorded history not imaginary description of fluent rethoric. Indeed when they thought the case required it Sanest Livy Arnold and other historians have fulfilled Mr. Miller's theory as a matter of course. In his own development of it he seems to us more likely to substitute fanciful additions and a dreamy sort of reverie consisting half of imagined facts and half of mere opinions than to rise to the height he rums at."<p>An advertisement in the January 1 1847 "Publishers' circular and booksellers' record" states that the finished work will "form three handsome volumes". Nonetheless it may well be that these first six parts were all that were published. London: David Bogue, 1847. paperback
