Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters Selected From the Collection of Autographs: In the Possession of William Tite, Esq., M. P., V. P. S. A The following Letters claim attention upon three distinct grounds. They proceed from persons to whose names there attaches a never-dying interest; they are of historical importance; and they are peculiarly characteristic of their writers. The first of them, regarded as an autograph, is an excellent specimen of the large distinct hand written by Charles I. at the commencement of his reign. This writing has been greatly praised. Some persons have even termed it beautiful. Others may deem it laboured, weak, uncertain, and like the early efforts of a school-boy. All will admit that it has the great merit of being in the highest degree legible. The letter itself, when read in connection with passing events, is full of character. It is addressed by the King to his sister Elizabeth, the Queen of Bohemia, then a widow, and living as an exile at the Hague. The great war which had desolated Germany for nearly fifteen years was still in progress. Gustavus Adolphus had died on the field of Lutzen in November 1632; but the cause for which he had shed his blood still continued, after many fluctuations, to hold up its head.
