Excerpt from Studies in English History
This volume is the result of some conversations which passed between myself and the late Mr. Spedding a few weeks before his sad and unexpected death. Mr. Spedding, who is known to the world at large mainly by his elaborate edition of Lord Bacon's Works, had collected two years before a number of his fugitive papers on subjects not connected with the great philosopher. The two articles from his pen contained in the present volume might almost have been included in that publication, for they may certainly be classed, as regards the mere subjects, among papers "not relating to Bacon." They were, however, distinctly the fruit of their author's Baconian studies; and that was probably one reason why they were not included. Another, perhaps, was the fact that they were of an historical character, while the writings collected in 1879 were, as declared upon the title-page, "literary, political, and philosophical."
