Away with these childish wranglings with the unalterable past 1 Facts regarding the queenly sisters, both of Tudor and of Stuart, remain extant, defying all attempts to sti?e them, guarded in manuscript among our archives, or those of France. Incidents may be told maliciously or apologetieally; in both cases the author's comment may stand in absurd con tradiction to quoted authority, but these deviations from the majestic simplicity of rectitude will have the consequence of disgusting the public, and will ever render a narrative unread able. Can a more absurd spectacle exist, than when the com ments of writers appear at Open war with the facts thev have just cited from documents?
