Excerpt from Mary Stewart: A Brief Statement of the Principal Charges Which Have Been Brought Against Her, Together With Answers to the Same

The following pages contain an outline of the lead ing accusations which for three centuries have been brought against the character and conduct, public and private, of Mary Stewart, Queen of Scotland. To these accusations are appended the answers which may be made in the Queen's vindication. They were drawn up by the late Mr Hosack shortly before his lamented death, with the view of contributing to the solution of a controversy which he felt would excite public attention at the present time. Although these pages did not enjoy the advantage of receiving his final revision, they exhibit abundant proofs of his critical ability, his legal acuteness, and his thorough mastery of the subject which he had undertaken to investigate.
