Portrait. [Smeeton’s historical and biographical tracts.] Sm. 4°. The “person of honour” was John Rowlands, who signed the dedication to Sir William Pastons. The author of this tract, properly known as Vox populi, or News from Spayne, was Thomas Scott; and in attributing it to Sir Robert Cotton, Rowlands became guilty, according to the Dictionary of National Bio- graphy, of “an impudent fabrication; but at the time it was widely received as a piece of genuine history.”
