Inquiry Into the Genuineness of a Letter Dated February 3rd, 1613, and Signed Mary Magdaline Davers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Inquiry Into the Genuineness of a Letter Dated February 3rd, 1613, and Signed Mary Magdaline Davers In the course of the year 1863 certain original papers were sent to the Council of the Camden Society for publication, together with a supposed modern transcript of a letter purporting to bear date at London, Feb. 3d, Which, by the most exact mode of dating, would be 1613-14, or, as it is frequently stated, according to modern usage in reference to the commencement of the year, 1614. These papers came out of the most unexceptionable custody. Those of them which were original were all perfectly unimpeachable docu ments, and they, and also the supposed copy, had been for many years in the possession of the head of the family, by whose present representative they were offered to the Camden Society. Every ordinary avenue to suspicion was therefore closed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
