Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots in History I confess it is no easy task to present a complete and, at the same time, correct picture of her career. The difficulty is owing to the large amount of matter, written in different and contradictory spirits, with which some of the most important events of her life have been obscured. Religion, politics, patriotism, avarice, personal friendships and hatreds, either con jointly or individually, determined the actions of those who bad part in framing the history of the period. It becomes necessary, therefore, to learn how far the men on whose testimony, or from whose conduct, we have to pass judgment on certain incidents in Mary's life, were influenced by one or other of these motives.

I have read them with the greatest interest. To them I am indebted for about all the historical knowledge I have." Considered what we would now call "young adult" literature, this collection, first published between 1848 and 1871, was designed to present a clear, distinct, connected narrative of the lives of the great figures of world history, those people who have been most influential, at least as American author and educator JACOB ABBOTT (1803-1879) saw it from his 19th-century perspective. Wildly popular and republished many times under different collected names, this replica set mimics the 1904 reprint known as the "Makers of History" series. It will delight students of history as well as show the scholar how history telling has changed over the last few centuries. More than 30 other volumes in the series are also available from Cosimo Classics. This volume, dating from 1848, covers Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587), from her childhood and education in France to her captivity at the hands of Queen Elizabeth I.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots My aim has been to state - fairly, briefly, and clearly - all the more important and more interesting events in Mary's life up to the date of her flight into England, without attempting to suggest or sustain any theory. The text has been almost entirely drawn from the State Papers, the official records, and the letters of the period, and from the contemporary histories and chronicles. Controverted points are freely dealt with in the Notes; and there special attention has been paid to the works of two of the Queen's most recent and best-known biographers - Father Stevenson and Mr. (now Sir John) Skelton. It will be seen that the former has dimmed his great reputation as an historical student by pre judice, partiality, and perversion; and that the latter not only rivals him in these faults, but is so reckless in matters of fact and so careless in quotation that no reliance can be placed on his statements, no weight on his opinions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots: Her Life Story There is no character in modern history whose romantic adventures have awakened more interest than those of Mary Queen of Scots, and there is a perennial fascination in the story of her life which even at the present day shows no sign of abatement. The peculiar time in which she lived, marking, as it did, an epoch of transition in religious afi'airs, and the rapid development of the resources of England, the inveterate enemy of her kingdom, made it desirable that the ruler of the country should be firm and bold to with stand southern encroachment, and liberal and politic to soothe theological difi'erence's. But any natural determination towards tolerance which Mary's character may have originally possessed was warped and distorted by her early education and her disposition, once gentle and confiding, may. Have been changed by her experience of the faithlessness of mankind into that form of stolid distrust which suspects the truest friend and questions the least interested motives.
