Excerpt from The Casket Letters and Mary Queen of Scots: With Appendices

The 'Casket Letters' controversy - important though the issues involved in it may be - has latterly been regarded by many as practically futile, the supposition being that no evident is now obtainable adequate to justify a very definite conclusion on one side or the other. The character latterly assumed by the controversy in this country has afforded some ground for this prevailing opinion. It is only on the Continent - and especially in Germany - that the importance and significance of the discoveries of original versions of the letters have been recognised. In the present volume an endeavour is made to show that within recent years substantial progress has been made towards a definite conclusion, but the chief reason for its publication is the discovery of the vital evidence contained in Morton's Declaration.
