Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of England, Vol. 2 of 3: Combining the Various Histories by Rapin, Henry, Hume, Smollett, and Belsham; Corrected by Reference to Turner, Lingard, Mackintosh, Hallam, Brodie, Godwin, and Other Sources
The earl of Southampton, says Lingard, and the young earl of Essex recovered their titles and estates; Mountjoy and three of the Howards were raised to the rank of earl; nine new barons were created, among whom was Cecil the secretary. A pasquinade was affixed to St. Paul's, in which an art was promised to be taught, very necessary to assist frail memories in retaining the names of the new nobility.
