Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lauderdale Papers, Vol. 1: 1639 1667 The Lauderdale MSS. preserved in the British Museum, so far as they are concerned with the period succeeding the Restoration, are contained in thirty-six volumes (Add. MSS. 23,113 - 23,138, and 23,242 - 23,251, inclusive), each volume holding, on a rough average, from 100 to 150 documents. They cover the whole of Lauderdale´s administration, and they contain, moreover, a few letters prior to 1660 of great interest. There are also several other volumes (Add. MSS. 22,878 and 23,108 - 23,112, inclusive) containing papers of an earlier date, many of them relating especially to William Maitland of Lethington, Secretary to Mary Queen of Scots. To these, however, I have at present given no attention. It is obvious that, even with the space so generously accorded to me by the Society, I can present but a meagre selection from a mass of documents of which there are but very few that do not possess something of real importance. The principles which have guided me have been, in the first place, to afford the material most necessary for the student of Scottish history during the Restoration period; and, secondly, to illustrate fully the career and the character of any person of importance, especially if such career and character have hitherto been in dispute - e.g., Lauderdale and James Sharp. A few letters of isolated interest are also included. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
