Cotton’s house (now the Speaker’s residence), and was four days arraigned at the bar of the House of Commons by Bradshaw, and seventy-nine Judges Commissioners, named for his Trial.

“I praise and thank my God that it pleases Him to put an end by this to the many miseries and calamities that they have compelled me to endure; for, since nineteen years up to the present moment, I have been constituted a prisoner, and very evilly entreated by the Queen of England, my sister, without ever having injured, as God is my principal witness.”—Mary’s Reply to my Lord Beale, who was commissioned to inform her of Elizabeth’s Sentence of Death.

ANTIQUITIES OF DENMARK AND ENGLAND.
Worsaæ’s Primeval Antiquities of Denmark. Translated and applied to the Illustration of similar Remains in England by W. J. Thoms. 8vo. Abounding with finely-cut Wood Engravings by Jewitt. A new copy in cloth, 3s. 9d. (sells at 10s. 6d.)
The history and account of Ancient Denmark, its Monuments, Burial Mounds, Sepulchral Stones, and Fire Beacons, its Giant and Fairy Lore, offer many curious points of resemblance to our own early history. Whilst the Antiquities of Rome, Greece, and Egypt have been carefully examined and systematically described by English writers, the primeval national antiquities of the British Islands have never hitherto been brought into a scientific arrangement. The close connexion which in the old time existed between Denmark and the British Islands renders it natural that British antiquaries should turn with interest to the antiquities of Denmark, and compare them with those of their own country. The book has long been scarce.
