Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Scotland, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Union of the Crowns on the Accession of James Vi. To the Throne of England, to the Union of the Kingdoms in the Reign of Queen Anne
P. S. The Dissertation formerly proposed, on the participation of Mary, Queen of Scots, in the murder of her husband, is now submitted to the public, as a preliminary work to my History of Scotland, and as a necessary supplement to Dr. Robertson's History, of which mine can only be considered as an imperfect continuation. The subject has unavoidably extended to two volumes, as I did not choose, by retrenching the Appendix, to deprive my argument of illustration or of proof. But I trust that the reader will be better pleased to possess the evidence of the Queen's guilt entire, than to be referred to authorities which are not always accessible, and which few, perhaps, would be disposed to consult.
