Excerpt from The History of Hampton Court Palace, Vol. 2: Stuart Times James II. Like the first volume of this History - in Tudor Times - its scope is designed also to embrace such an account of the artistic and archaeological features of the Palace and its contents, as may serve to invest the many historical incidents that occurred within its walls, in Stuart Times, with a local colouring, which, it is hoped, may add something to their vividness and interest.
