Extract

It may be considered improbable that any new light can be thrown on the history of Mary Queen of Scots; but the interest in her romantic story never ceases. I have in my possession a document which relates to an important event in her life. I am inclined to make it known to the public in consequence of the recent publication by the Society of Antiquaries of the interesting communication by the Rev. R. S. Ellis, respecting the imprisonment, death, and burial in Denmark of the Earl of Bothwell (see Archaeologia, vol. XXXVIII).
