Letters Of Sir Robert Cecil To Sir George Carew
Author: Robert Cecil

LETTERS FROM SIR ROBERT CECIL TO SIR GEORGE CAREW. - 1864-65 - The COUNCIL of the CAIDESNO CIETY desire it to be understood that they are not answerable for any opinions or observations that may appear in the Societys publications the Editors of tlie several Works being alone responsible for the same. - PREFACE.- THE t WO distinguished Statesmen... more » immediately connected with the Correspondence printed in the. following pages are too well known in history to need any introduction to the Members of the Camden Society. The letters, however, are so characteristicof the writer, and throw so much light on the policy pursued by the Court of Queen Elizabeth in the affairs of Ireland during the latter years of her reign, that they cannot fail to be interesting, not only to the student of Irish history of that period, but also, generally, to historical scholars.

Knowing Sir George Carews acquisitive habits I long entertained a hope of being able to find copies of his letters to Cecil, either at Lambeth or in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. As Carem preserved the originals, notwithstanding the injunctions of the writer that they should beedestroyed, it seemed to me exceedingly probable that he would have retained a record of the rcplies. After a careful search, however, in both the del positories mentioned, the Editor fears no such record exists, unless the originals shall have been preserved by Cecil, and Be herea. fter found among the treasures at Hatfield. Sir George Carew on his death bequeathed his MSS. and printed books to Sir Thomas Stafford, from whom they passed to Archbishop Laud.
