Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots So long ago as 1773 one of the most capable and most cautious of Scottish historical students expressed the opinion that the Marian controversy had already become too angry and too voluminous. Its subsequent tone was not sweetened by such writers as Whitaker and Chalmers. If in recent years it has become much less acrimonious, it has also become so much more voluminous that comparatively few readers can afford the requisite time to master a subject so intricate, and of which nearly all the details have been keenly contested for three centuries. Too many of the literary combatants have been content to derive their materials at second, third, or even fourth hand, with the result that mere opinions and conjectures have frequently been borrowed and repeated as well-established facts. Not a few of these ´fictitious facts,´ as well as other blunders more or less blameworthy, have been exposed or exploded in the following pages; but they will doubtless be again resuscitated by those who are more anxious to uphold theories than to ascertain truth.
