Excerpt from Calendar of the Manuscripts of the Hon. The Marquis of Salisbury, K. G., &C. &C. &C, Vol. 1: Preserved at Hatfield House, Hertfordshire; Presented to Both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her MajestyIT has been observed by an eminent historian that amongst the treasures which a great nation should hold to be most precious are the original and authentic materials of its own history. The Cecil Manuscripts preserved in the Library of Hatfield House, although forming a private collection, may indeed be justly regarded in the light of a national treasure. Their value is not to be described by the mere statement that they contri bute to the elucidation of one of the most remarkable epochs in English History; no complete narrative of the period to which they relate could be constructed without their aid. They represent in fact a detached portion of the State correspondence during the memorable administration of Sir William Cecil, afterwards Lord Burghley, and of his son the first Earl of Salisbury, without which the national muniments would exhibit a very imperfect record of the transactions of those stirring times.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
