Excerpt from Windsor, the Castle of Our Kings and Some Notes Concerning Eton College

HE story of Windsor Castle is so closely knit up with T the history of the Empire that it makes direct appeal to British-born men and women in every quarter of the globe. Rich in elements of romance and beauty, the scene of stately pageantry and epoch-making events, Windsor has been the subject of many books abounding in historical information imparted with infinite care for detail. The object of the present volume is different, the aim having been to deal with Windsor Castle and town chiefly from the pictorial point of View, giving many illustrations, often of great beauty and always of definite interest, and combining with them brief references to some of the salient facts in the chronicle of the Castle and its environs, together with word-pictures of the past and personal impressions of more recent days. If the book should recall in some degree the splendid story of the venerable Castle, and of the equally famous College of Eton, and conjure up some pleasant memories in the minds of those who have known Windsor and Eton during the past few decades, by focussing many picturesque phases of the subject within the compass of a single volume, its object will have been attained.
