The Royal Miracle. By A. M. Broadley. (Stanley Paul and
Co. 16s. net.)—For many years Mr. Broadley has been an ardent collector of everything that bears upon the adventures of Charles II. after the battle of Worcester. The present volume contains reprints of a number of rare tracts and broadside s describing the hair'sbreadth escapes of the King between September 3rd and October 15th, 1651. It contains also an historical intro_ duction by Mr. Broadley himself, as well as various papers of an antiquarian interest upon the same subject, and an account of a "pilgrimage" made last year over the roads travelled by Charles on his way from Worcester to Brighton. The adventurous character of the story is sufficient to enlist the interest of the most anti-royalist reader, and Mr. Broadley has devoted much care to the historical sine of the book.
