Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary of Henry Machyn: Citizen and Merchant-Taylor of London, From A. D. 1550 to A. D. 1563 The most remarkable passages of the Diary now printed have already attained their position in history from having been largely incorporated in the works of Strype, and quoted on his authority by subsequent writers. It must not therefore be expected that the present publication will develope much new information of high historical importance: but it will have its value like some former publications of the Camden Society, in ascertaining the real authority for certain statements of general history, the credit of which materially depends upon the quarter from whence they are derived. The writer was a citizen of London, of no great scholarship or attainments, as his language and cacography plainly testify, sufficiently prejudiced no doubt, and not capable of any deep views either of religious doctrine or temporal policy; but the matters of fact which he records would be such as he either witnessed himself, or had learned immediately after their occurrence: and the opinions and sentiments which he expresses would be shared by a large proportion of his fellow-citizens. For a great part of the period of his Diary, the times were very eventful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
