Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of St. James's Palace, Vol. 1 of 2 The Royal Palace of St. James's has many important claims to public interest; the character and antiquity of the building, and its associations both personal and historical, cannot but attract every British subject, and stimulate the curiosity of visitors who are aliens to our shores. Yet, strange to say, its story has never been narrated in continuous detail, nor have the records of its history been published in any complete and convenient form. By the gracious permission of Her Majesty the Queen, I dedicate this chronicle of the Palace of St. James's to its Royal and Imperial Mistress. Happily, the chronicle is rather joyous than tragic, for there is more of gaiety than of disaster associated with this venerable home of English Kings and Queens.
