That he, like his farther, was feeble in mind.
His reign was the longest of any but one.
Son of the weak and wicked King John.

For each ruler from Egbert to Victoria, and also including the tribes from the Britons to Jutes and Angles, this little book instructs and informs with brief descriptions in rhyme and woodcuts. Dates and 'remarkable events' are also featured.
