Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William the Conqueror: A Historical Romance
This Romance was written about 1 837 when Sir C. Napier was suffering under the injustice of Sir Frederick Adam. The preface is a humorous allusion to himself, as Mr. Peter Grievous, vainly seeking redress for to laugh at, and joke upon his own misfortunes, was with him an absolute necessity. The blow given to his commander was indeed metaphorical, but never forgotten or forgiven a book exposing the red-tapism and injustice of official power was inexpiable.
