Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Mary Stuart: Queen of Scotland; Abridged From Agnes Strickland´s "Queens of Scotland" The success of "The Queens of England" encourages the belief that a similar work on the Queens of Scotland will be warmly welcomed. It can scarcely fail to excite interest, the events connected with the lives of the sovereigns of both countries being so closely interwoven that they have been pronounced links in the same family chain. Those who have read the biography of Queen Elizabeth will observe how she influenced the destiny of Mary Stuart, though the two monarchs never met. Each was a star shining in a distinct orbit, while casting light on the other. The earlier Queens of Scotland have not been considered sufficiently important to engage the attention of many historians; but as a prelude to the times in which Mary Stuart reigned, they ought to be carefully studied. As for the character of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the motives which prompted her actions, it is scarcely possible, even after the lapse of three centuries, to form a correct judgment, though hundreds of volumes have been written on the subject by biographers of divers religious and political opinions.
