Excerpt from Mary Queen of Scots: Her Life Story There is no character in modern history whose romantic adventures have awakened more interest than those of Mary Queen of Scots, and there is a perennial fascination in the story of her life which even at the present day shows no sign of abatement. The peculiar time in which she lived, marking, as it did, an epoch of transition in religious afi´airs, and the rapid development of the resources of England, the inveterate enemy of her kingdom, made it desirable that the ruler of the country should be firm and bold to with stand southern encroachment, and liberal and politic to soothe theological difi´erence´s. But any natural determination towards tolerance which Mary´s character may have originally possessed was warped and distorted by her early education and her disposition, once gentle and confiding, may. Have been changed by her experience of the faithlessness of mankind into that form of stolid distrust which suspects the truest friend and questions the least interested motives.
