FIRST EDITION. The Princess Elizabeth to whom the book is dedicated
was the second daughter of Charles I. She was sent to the Isle of
Wight, and died there in her sixteenth year. The initials "E. S." alone
marked her grave at Newport until 1856, when Queen Victoria erected
a monument to her memory. Several books were dedicated to her,
including Wase's translation of Sophocles' "Electra"-this copy. The
princess's unquiet life and early death have attracted general interest
and sympathy.

This translation of the "Electra" is attributed by Lowndes and English
Book Prices Current to both "Charles" and Christopher Wase.
