A critical review of Allan Fea's King Monmouth, tracing James Scott's complex mix of brilliance and flaws. The author lauds extensive research, illustrations, and background, while noting Monmouth's charisma, tragic end, and controversial actions including Sedgemoor and the murder of a London crowd.
The passage analyzes how Shaftesbury used a rebellious young figure to advance a faction’s aims, portraying a gradual fall from grace driven by circumstance and personal flaws. It argues his failure to restrain Monmouth and shape his character doomed the scheme with James II’s accession.
The book traces the upbringing and fate of the duke through his vivacious mother and the Restoration court. Charles II’s conflicting desires to nurture his son and yet deny him succession are laid bare, with Pepys noting his youthful excesses and Shaftesbury pressing a private marriage claim. Mr. Fea presents a lucid, impartial account where each actor’s role is clearly examined.
The piece reviews Raphael Tuck & Sons holiday calendars and books for 1902 including the Sacred Art Calendar with color reproductions of the Sistine Madonna Correggio Holy Night Madonna Ansidei and Paul Preaching at Athens. It notes other calendars by Tuck and by E. P. Dutton & Co including Flowers of the Year Gems of Beauty Oliver Wendell Holmes Shakespeare Hearts Delight and Elite calendars, plus a Football Calendar from R. H. Russell with Hazelton drawings and college seals.
