Excerpt from Men of Mark 'Twixt Tyne and Tweed, Vol. 2 of 3 Lord Dacre, at this time, resided chie y in Northumberland, occupying, as occasion served, his castles of Morpeth and Harbottle, and keeping a watchful eye upon events across the Border. While so employed, he was able to be Of service to the widowed Queen Of Scotland, whose position in the Sister kingdom had become critical and perilous. In less than a year after her husband's death She had secretly married the Earl Of Angus, and, being deprived of sovereign power upon the discovery thereof, she prepared to y to her brother the king Of England for protection. Lord Dacre received her in September, I 515, at his castle Of Harbottle, where, within a few days after her hasty arrival, she was prematurely deliveredof a child, known in after times as Margaret Douglas, mother Of Lord Darnley, the unfortunate husband Of Mary Queen Of Scots. Dacre sent the news Of her confinement to the brother of his royal guest, Henry VIII., and consulted him as to her removal, as soon as she con veniently may, after her grace have sought the Church for her thanksgiving. By easy stages, resting at Cartington and Brinkburn, the Queen was taken to Morpeth Castle, which Dacre had grandly decked for her reception, and there remained till the beginning of April, when, accompanied by her host, she set forward on her journey to the English Court. Arriving in Newcastle on the 8th of the month, She was received by the Mayor, Roger Dent, and the following day crossed the Tyne on her way to London. Just before her departure, Dacre had been appointed one Of three commissioners to renew the truce with Scotland, and, after taking leave Of his royal guest, he met the Scottish representatives in London, and thus ful filled his mission.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... thin folio of 252 pages, printed in clear type, with a folding plan of Newcastle facing the title, and somewhat intricate footnotes and marginal explanations. The subscribers' copies end with the first Mayoralty of Walter (afterwards Sir Walter) Blackett, to whom the book is dedicated, but in 1757 the last leaf was reprinted, and the list of Mayors and Sheriffs was brought down to that date. A few large-paper copies were struck off, and have now become excessively rare. One of them (the dedication copy to Sir Walter Blackett), interleaved with drawings and engravings, was sold at the sale of Mr. John Trotter Brockett's books in Newcastle, and brought the high figure of 54 12s. Mackenzie describes Mr. Bourne as a sincere, plain, unassuming man, diligent in his studies and in the discharge of his clerical duties. Mr. Adamson, with greater justice, points to the evidence which his writings afford of wide and extensive reading, and of familiarity with classical, patristic, and mediaeval literature, as well as with the best authors of modern times. "We cannot fail," he adds, "to be pleased with the quaintness and simplicity of his style, the reverential tone that pervades his pages, his regard for learning and piety, his respect for antiquity, and his desire to preserve and hand down the records and remains of the past, which, but for his loving care and labour, might have been altogether neglected and lost." Sir Ibenn Brabant, an extreme loyalist. "Sir Henry Brabant, another alderman, profest, if the King should command him to kill a man in cold blood, he took himself bound in conscience and duty to execute his commands."--Life Of Ambrose Barnes. One of Richardson's reprints--"The Eve of the Revolution in Newcastle" (already quoted in our...

John Milton is, next to William Shakespeare, the most influential English poet, a writer whose work spans an incredible breadth of forms and subject matter. The Complete Poetry and Essential Prose of John Milton celebrates this author’s genius in a thoughtfully assembled book that provides new modern-spelling versions of Milton’s texts, expert commentary, and a wealth of other features that will please even the most dedicated students of Milton’s canon. Edited by a trio of esteemed scholars, this volume is the definitive Milton for our time. In these pages you will find all of Milton’s verse, from masterpieces such as Paradise Lost–widely viewed as the finest epic poem in the English language–to shorter works such as the Nativity Ode, Lycidas,, A Masque and Samson Agonistes. Milton’s non-English language sonnets, verses, and elegies are accompanied by fresh translations by Gordon Braden. Among the newly edited and authoritatively annotated prose selections are letters, pamphlets, political tracts, essays such as Of Education and Areopagitica, and a generous portion of his heretical Christian Doctrine. These works reveal Milton’s passionate advocacy of controversial positions during the English Civil War and the Commonwealth and Restoration periods. With his deep learning and the sensual immediacy of his language, Milton creates for us a unique bridge to the cultures of classical antiquity and medieval and Renaissance Christianity. With this in mind, the editors give careful attention to preserving the vibrant energy of Milton’s verse and prose, while making the relatively unfamiliar aspects of his writing accessible to modern readers. Notes identify the old meanings and roots of English words, illuminate historical contexts–including classical and biblical allusions–and offer concise accounts of the author’s philosophical and political assumptions. This edition is a consummate work of modern literary scholarship.
