Miss Strickland's fame as author and historian rests on the 'Lives of the Queens of England,' which was the joint work of herself and her sister Elizabeth. The popularity of her books is in great measure due to their trivial gossip and domestic details. Yet in her extracts from contemporary authorities she amassed much valuable material, and her works contain pictures of the court, of society, and of domestic life not to be found elsewhere. (ODNB)

12 vols, 8vo (20 x 13 cm); 12 portrait frontispieces, additional engraved title with vignettes; nineteenth-century half green morocco, spines lettered in gilt in six gilt compartments, top edges gilt, lightly rubbed, a fine set.
