Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Henry, Third Earl of Southampton: Shakespeare's Patron
From a plain statement of facts, however, we may sometimes secure legitimate inferences. Hence I dwelt, some may think unduly, on his work in the Virginia Company. We find him there, always in the van, among all his anxieties. A troublesome minority made so much noise that the king crushed it because of the disagreement among themselves, but Southampton could have pulled it through had he been let alone. And from what we know of his actions there, we may argue back to the other brawls with which he has been credited, feeling sure he would always be on the side which he thought was right.
