page vi note a Forster's Grand Remonstrance, p. 91, ed. 1860.
page vii note a I am the more particular in stating these provisions, because the power given to the King by this Act of Parliament, of limiting the ultimate succession to the crown in default of issue of his children, has been unaccountably overlooked by Blackstone (Comm. lib. i. cap. 8.), and, so far as I have observed, by all his editors, and by the many writers who have depended upon his accuracy.

page xxv note a The expression is Sir Robert Cecil's (State Paper Office, Dom. Feb. 13, 1600–1), but was applied by him to the suspicious scrutiny with which the proceedings of Essex were watched in Ireland.
page xxvi note a “A Discoverie of the unnatural and traiterous Conspiracie of Scottish Papists against God and his Church … set down as it was confessed by Maister George Ker and David Graham of Feutrie.” Lond. 4 to. 1593. The book related to the conspiracy known as that of the “Spanish Blanks.”

page xli note b In describing and identifying these seals, I have had the great advantage of the assistance of Thomas William King, Esq., York Herald. His perfect acquaintance with all heraldic subjects, and the zeal with which he aids literary inquirers, cannot be too frequently commemorated.

page xliv note d Bishop Goodman says that “the correspondency was ever sent by the French post, and not by Berwick,” which seems more improbable than the asserted transmission by way of Ireland. The Bishop follows this statement with a singular perversion of the story quoted at p. xxxix. from Wotton. It is evident that he had not any accurate information upon the subject. (Court of James I. i. 32.)
page xlv note a Scotland, State Paper Office, Dec. 15, 1559. Nicolson to Cecil.

See Chamberlain's Letters during the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, edited by Miss Williams for the Camden Society, p. 66.
