North British Review, No. XLV.—1. ‘Life of Sir Walter Raleigh.’ By P. Fraser Tytler, F.R.S. London, 1853.—2. ‘Raleigh’s Discovery of Guiana.’ Edited by Sir Robert Schomburgk (Hakluyt Society), 1848.—3. ‘Lord Bacon and Sir Walter Raleigh.’ By M. Napier. Cambridge, 1853.—4. ‘Raleigh’s Works, with Lives by Oldys and Birch.’ Oxford, 1829—5. ‘Bishop Goodman’s History of his own Times.’ London, 1839. I especially entreat readers’ attention to two articles in vindication of the morals of Queen Elizabeth, in ‘Fraser’s Magazine’ of 1854; to one in the ‘Westminster’ of 1854, on Mary Stuart; and one in the same of 1852, on England’s Forgotten Worthies, by a pen now happily well known in English literature, Mr. Anthony Froude’s. Since this was written, a similar Amazonian bodyguard has been discovered, I hear, in Pegu. It is to be found in a MS. of 1596. |
