Love Affairs of Mary Queen of Scots a Political History

1903. From the Preface: The only excuse that can be advanced for the production of a new book on Mary Stuart is that her supremely interesting personality has so frequently led her historians into the by-path of inquiry as to her virtue or vice, as to have obscured, to some extent, the reasons for her disastrous political failure; which, as it seems to me, did not spring from her goodness or badness as a woman, but from certain human weaknesses of character, quite compatible with general goodness and wisdom or with the reverse, but which fatally handicapped her as against antagonists who are less subject to such weakness.Hume, Martin Andrew Sharp is the author of 'Love Affairs of Mary Queen of Scots a Political History' with ISBN 9781417907533 and ISBN 1417907533.
