In contrast to the Weldon work this espouses the cause of the King. Sanderson was a historical writer and thus starts with Queen Elizabeth, of which he writes "Some say she had many favorites, but in truth she had none". Before moving onto her courtiers from the Cecils to the Earl of Essex recounting the laters execution in 1601. Sanderson moved on to to King James and Sir Walter Raleigh and his expeditions to Ireland,his travels to Guiana and the New World but finally his downfall and execution. Later characters assesed include the Archbishop George Abbot, and the Duke of Buckingham. Sanderson beings his work by bemoning those who would "delight in sinne" and "take great pains to slander the dead", refering to Weldon. An amusing if digressive history of the times, like Seldon he devotes significant time to court intrigue during the reign of James, rebuking Weldon`s assertion that James "hated" Robert Cecil, he also claims the Duke of Overbury was poisoned whilst imprisoned in the tower of London in 1613. He finishes the book with a defence of the character of James, who he says "his best peace was his inside, which wise men admired" he credits James`s Rex Pacificus policy and writes "what did he not do without the pike, if not with his pen". Sanderson concludes that a pahmlet is far to "petit" to convey the great character of this monarch. Sanderson does not engage Weldon in his assaults on the Stuart house as a whole, but rather offers retorts to Weldon`s assaults on James`s reign specifically. Sanderson was a Cavalier, and following the restoration was made a member of the Privy Chamber by Charles II. He died in 1676 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. 1 volume. Hardcover.…
