Excerpt from Illustrations of British History, Biography, and Manners, in the Reigns of Henry VIII, Edward Vi, Mary, Elizabeth,& James I, Exhibited in a Series of Original Papers, Selected From the Mss of the Noble Families of Howard, Talbot, and Cecil; Containing A, Vol. 1 of 3 The large Introduction originally prefixed to, and still forming so important a part. Of, the fol lowing sheets might appear to render the usual formality of a Preface to this new and long pro jected Edition a work of supererogation. Little more seems to be now required than to state, shortly, the additions and other alterations which have been here adopted. Among the most material, perhaps, of them is the modernised orthography of the original papers, which, how ever unnecessary, and perhaps even unacceptable, to antiquarian readers, frequently rendered those originals repulsive, and all but useless, to those of the present day.
