Description
Excerpt from Judicial Crimes: A Record of Some Famous Trials in English History in Which Bigotry, Popular Panic, and Political Rancour Played a Leading Part
N March, 1619, a venerable man, of large square face, most expansive brow, long grey beard, and stern blue eye, a man tall but bent with age, haggard with anxiety and illness, leaning on his staff, and clad in black velvet cloak, appeared as a culprit before a special commission sitting at the Hague. He was the foremost statesman in Europe, unrivalled in experience, sagacity, breadth of view, and political tact. He was vaguely charged with treason to his country on which, during a career of above forty years duration, he had conferred benefits beyond dispute and of inestimable value. What series of events, what causes, had brought such a man into 30'' terrible a;position.
