Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Sir Walter Raleigh: Founded on Authentic and Original Documents, Some of Them Never Before Published
I trust it will not be deemed presumptuous when I express a hope that this Life will be found the most authentic account of sir walter raleigh which has yet been given to the Public. This is said not only with respect, but with gratitude for the labours of my prede cessors, Oldys, Birch, Cayley, and latterly Mrs Thomson, whose Appendix of original letters, although undervalued by herself, has assisted me in tracing to its real authors that extraordinary conspiracy against Raleigh, which ultimately brought him to the scaffold.
