See Strickland. “Advertisement: The materials for this Volume [sic], together with the extremely beautiful Portraits which it contains, having come into the hands of the Publisher, he has availed himself of the services of its present accomplished Editor, to revise, correct, and condense them, as well as to complete the series by the addtion of new Memoirs. No pains have been spared, to render it every way worthy of its national and highly interesting contents; and he feels that he may present it with confidence as one of the most perfect histories of our QUEENS which it is possible to comprise in a single volume.” Text and illustration in Cowden Clarke and Howitt almost entirely differ (anecdotes shared). Illustration of Queen Elizabeth in Strickland (1851) and Howitt (1851) completely differ, and the text of the abridged as well as vol. 4 1851 Strickland differs markedly from Howitt (latter full of censure). No illustration of Anne, subject of vol. 8 of Strickland (1851).
