What Book is it??? # 7

I wonder if you can guess this quote: Beginning or ending paragraph from a book. Suggest the book and author.

Clues: Male author

American novelist

Goes by two names

And born in 1835

"In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty, who did not want him. On the same day another English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did want him. All England wanted him too. England had so longed for him, and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was really come, the people went nearly mad for joy."

Any Suggestions????
