The Mystery of Mary Stuart

By: Lang, Andrew

Mr. Carlyle not unjustly described the tragedy of Mary Stuart as but a personal incident in the true national History of Scotland. He asked for other and more essential things than these revela-tions of high life. Yet he himself wrote in great de-tail the story of the Diamond Necklace of Marie Antoinette. The diamonds of the French, the sil-ver Casket of the Scottish Queen, with all that turned on them, are of real historical interest, for these trifles brought to the surface the characters and principles of men living in an age of religious revolution. Wells were sunk, as it were, deep into human personality, and the inner characteristics of the age leaped upwards into the light.
