History of England, Vol. 5 of 10 by Samuel R. Gardiner Pdf
Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 5 of 10: From the Accession of James I. To the Outbreak of the Civil War, 1603 1642; 1623 1625 In the part of this volume relating to the Prince's journey Madrid I have had nothing but verbal alterations to make. Later on I have had at my disposal the despatches of Inojosa, Coloma, and Lafuente, in Mr. Cosens' transcripts, and, with their help, have been able at last to give an account at first hand of the relations between the Spanish ambassadors and the King during the first half of 1624. Toward the end of the volume appears occasionally a reference to the Melbourne MSS. They form a collection preserved at Melbourne Hall, a great part of which was originally made by Sir John Coke, and is now in the possession of Earl Cowper, for whose kind permission to examine the papers I wish to express my gratitude. I have also to thank Mr. W. D Fane, the present tenant of Melbourne Hall, for the facilities which he accorded me for conducting my researches, and for placing in my hands the abstracts which he has drawn up of the greater part of the papers.
