Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Richard Hooker: A Sketch of His Life, Writings and Times
Our subject carries us back three hundred years, to the time of that great and renowned sovereign, Elizabeth of England. And grand and glorious times they were, as all must confess. Not only was the Queen herself one of the most accomplished and successful of rulers, learned, wise, determined, versed in statecraft and imbued with but one desire, 'and that the welfare and glory of the nation over which she ruled, but the age produced a galaxy of eminent men that have rarely if ever been equalled either for bravery and endurance, or for creative genius, massive learning and originality of thought and ex pression. Those were the days when around the sovereign, guiding her action and furthering her policy, were such men as Cecil, vvalsingham, Sir Nicholas Bacon and Sir Christopher Hatton, bril liant every one of them for loyalty and political skill. Those were the days when such men as Drake, Frobisher, Hawkins and Raleigh were laying the foundations Of England's maritime supremacy.
