Excerpt from Rariora, Vol. 3: Being Notes of Some of the Printed Books, Manuscripts, Historical Documents, Medals, Engravings, Pottery, Etc;, Collected (1858-1900)

The eventful reign of his successor contains, in proportion to its length, by far the most important series of elucidations in the whole collection, and I crave indulgence if the enthusiastic interest which it awakens for me may appear' exaggerated. The career of this monarch was, throughout its short space, full of incident, and, towards its end, of dramatic surprises, and it is just where we feel that no tame succession of events is before us, but that a plot is rapidly thickening, that the imagination is stirred and that we eagerly greet each fresh development of the story.
