Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots in HistoryI confess it is no easy task to present a complete and, at the same time, correct picture of her career. The difficulty is owing to the large amount of matter, written in different and contradictory spirits, with which some of the most important events of her life have been obscured. Religion, politics, patriotism, avarice, personal friendships and hatreds, either con jointly or individually, determined the actions of those who bad part in framing the history of the period. It becomes necessary, therefore, to learn how far the men on whose testimony, or from whose conduct, we have to pass judgment on certain incidents in Mary's life, were in¿uenced by one or other of these motives.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
