THE LETTER-BOOKS of SIR AMIAS

POULET, Keeper of Mary Queen of Scots. Edited by JOHN MORRIS, Priest of the Society of Jesus.

Sir Amias Poulet had charge of the Queen of Scots from April, 1585, to the time of her death, February 8, 1587. His Correspondence with Lord Treasurer Burghley and Sir Francis Walsingham enters into the details of her life in captivity at Tutbury, Chartley, and Fotheringay. Many of the letters now published are entirely unknown, being printed from a recently-discovered Manuscript. The others have been taken from the originals at the Public Record Office and the British Museum. The Letters are strung together by a running commentary, in the course of which several of Mr. Froude's statements are examined, and the question of Mary's complicity in the plot against Elizabeth's life is discussed.
