XV.—Additional Information respecting the Life and Services of Sir Walter Raleigh, in a Letter from J. Payne Collier, V.P. to William Durrant Cooper, Esq. F.S.A.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2012
Extract
In my recent letter to Mr. Ouvry of notes, memoranda, and documents, containing new materials for a Life of Sir Walter Raleigh, I brought the incidents with which he was connected down to the year 1584, when, as I established, he had received the honour of knighthood. I now continue the subject, and request you to be the medium of communicating what follows to our Society. The particulars, as in the former instance, are many of them minute; but, I apprehend, they are all of them more or less important, in reference to the character and conduct of a man who was highly distinguished in so many capacities, as a politician, a courtier, a soldier, a navigator, a poet, a patron, a philosopher, and a historian.
