With Marlborough to Malplaquet: A Story of the Reign of Queen Anne (1908)

First published in 1908, this historical novel is set in the early 18th century. As the author explains: "The object of this series is to encourage a taste for history among boys and girls up to thirteen or fourteen years of age. An attempt has been made to bring home to the young reader the principal events and movements of the periods covered by the several volumes. If in these little stories historical fact treads somewhat closely upon the heels of fiction, the authors would plead the excellence of their intentions and the limitations of their space."
