MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS AND HER LATEST ENGLISH
HISTORIAN. Narrative OF the Principal Events
in the Life OF Mary Stuart, with Some Remarks
on Mr. Fr0ude's History OF England. BY James
+. Meline. New York: Hurd q Houghton. 1872
12m0 PIP. K, $3.50.
This book Is one long indictment. conviction and
sentence OF James Anthony Froude Mr.. Meline.
who is an industrious and careful literary critic
and has employed his facile pen upon many Of the
topics the day, has his lance at rest to demolish
utterly Mr. Fr0ude's credit as q historian. Alter
careful reading we must conclude that our author
does convict the champion Of the House OF Tudor Of
the very gravest Offences against veracity and fair
dealing. He shows him to have been guilty OF
garblng authorities, suppressng Facts. suggesting
fasehoOds and playing the advocate instead OF the
Judge. Besides he Is exhibited to as ignorant OF
English and Scottish Jurisprudence anc ecclesias-
teal history, and struggling 10 make his history
'as interesting as novel" by all the arts OF the
novelist In drawing character, not from fact, but
from imagination. We see not how the historical
reputation Of Mr.. Fr0ude can be successfully re-
stored after the effective demolition IL has sustained
IN so many and so important particulars at the
hands OF this writer and OF the leading critical re-
Views OF Great Britain.
