Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 3: From the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth It is therefore of the highest importance to ascertain the immediate belief of the time at which the murder took place, while party opinions were still unshaped and party action undetermined.

He will see the judgment passed upon the conduct of the Queen of Scots, both by friend and foe, before the explanations and interpretations which form her general defence had as yet been put forward by her advocates; and thus when he comes to the circumstances under which these uplanations were laid before the world, he will be in a. Position to judge for himself the degree of credibility which attaches to them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
