MARY

CONTEMPORARY

_Calendar of State Papers, Mary, Foreign,_ 1 vol.

Otherwise, the list of contemporary authorities is the same as for Edward VI., with some omissions. The _Domestic Calendar, Edward VI., etc._ (vol. i.) extends on to 1580: and the remaining vols. to the end of Elizabeth bear the same t.i.tle.

INTERMEDIATE

As for Henry VIII.

MODERN

Stone, J. M., _Mary I. Queen of England_ takes the place of _England under Protector Somerset_ for Edward VI. The facts are fairly and honestly stated; though the perspective differs considerably from that of Protestant writers, the bias is not nearly so marked as in the same writer's work on the _Renaissance_: and the portrait of Mary herself is probably the truest we have.

Otherwise, the list for Edward VI. is practically repeated for Mary.

ELIZABETH

CONTEMPORARY: A. DOc.u.mENTARY

_Calendar of State Papers, Edward VI., etc., Domestic_: (Rolls).

Vol. i. 1547-80. A meagre catalogue. Vol. ii. 1580-90, somewhat less meagre. Vols. iii.-vi. 1590-1603, generally full transcriptions; but the Introductions are of much less use to the student than in _Henry VIII.

L. & P.,_ or the other ”Rolls” series of Elizabeth. Vols. vi. and vii., addenda to vols. i. and ii.; the description, as for vols. iii-vi.

_Calendar of State Papers, Foreign, Elizabeth_: (Rolls). 14 vols., 1558-81. Very full and informing; the introductions being very useful guides to the contents.

_Calendar of State Papers, Irish_: (Rolls). Sufficiently full and satisfactory.

_Calendar of State Papers, Spanish_: (Rolls). 1558-1603. Selected and translated by Major Martin Hume, chiefly from the Simancas archives. Very valuable, and full for most of the period.

_Slate Papers relating to the Spanish Armada_: 2 vols.: ed. Professor Laughton, whose Introduction is of great interest. _Sidle Papers: Scotland and Mary Queen of Scots_. _Hamilton Papers_. _Hardwicke Papers_. _Letters of Mary Queen of Scots_: ed. A. Strickland.

_Statutes and Const.i.tutional Doc.u.ments_: ed G. W. Prothero.
