Subject: Strickland's "The Queens of England" [1891]

Recently, someone cited an alleged genealogical source reportedly called
"The Queens of England" in a six volume revised edition of 1891. No
publisher or full name of the author were provided.

1. Does anyone know who Strickland was and what his/her genealogical and/or
historical credentials were?

2. How does Strickland stack up as a reliable genealogical and/or
historical source?

3. Is the six-volume set still widely distributed?

inventors of instruments of death, torturers and martyrs; alongside them
this one bright sound: Pushkin." --- Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok
[1880-1921]
