Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tribute to the Memory of Mary Queen of Scots: Being an Attempt to Relate, Simply and Truly, the History of Her Life There are in historic literature points which may be called open points of controversy, where evidence fails, and the subject-matter is left to opinion rather than to facts: such, for instance, as the passage of Hannibal across the Alps, or the origin of the Round Towers of Ireland, where a sort of literary see-saw exists, and the last commentator holds the ground until an adversary appears to take the opposite side, and controvert opinion by opinion. Conspicuous amongst such themes has been the history of Mary Stewart, and widely adverse the opinions of the historians and commentators on the career of that ill-fated lady - gifted almost beyond the power of description with the bounties of Providence in wit, beauty, form, and strength both of mind and body, conjoined with royal birth, position, and rule, which have caused her reign and her fate to be so keenly canvassed, and have elicited judgments diametrically opposite in a controversy of three hundred years. The last two historians - Froude and Burton - have adopted the view hostile to the Queen of Scots, and uphold the Queen of England and her policy. Froude is a passionate partisan, and commences the discussion by denouncing the followers of the cause of Mary as deficient in intellect.
