Publisher's Synopsis
Effusions of Love from Chatelar to Mary, Queen of Scotland (1808) is a book written by William Henry Ireland. The book is a collection of love letters that were allegedly written by James Hepburn, the 4th Earl of Bothwell, to Mary, Queen of Scots. The letters were discovered by Ireland in the 18th century and were believed to be authentic by many at the time. In the book, Ireland presents the letters along with his own commentary and analysis of the relationship between Bothwell and Mary. The letters are written in a poetic style and express Bothwell's deep love and devotion to Mary. Despite the controversy surrounding the authenticity of the letters, Effusions of Love from Chatelar to Mary, Queen of Scotland remains an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationships and politics of the Scottish monarchy during the 16th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
