De què tracta
Una part solta del primer volum de la Història d'Anglaterra de Hume, en una edició que el reparteix en fragments.
Context i història
El títol ho diu però convé remarcar-ho: això és un tros, no una obra. Al catàleg hi ha també el primer volum sencer d'una altra edició, i les dues coses se superposen.

She fell on her knees, and expressed her thanks to Heaven for the deliverance which the Almighty had granted her from her bloody persecutors; a deliverance, she said, no less miraculous than that which Daniel had received from the den of lions. This act of pious gratitude seems to have been the last circumstance in which she remembered any past hardships and injuries. With a prudence and magnanimity truly laudable, she buried all offences in oblivion, and received with affability even those who had acted with the greatest malevolence against her. Sir Henry Benningfield himself, to whose custody she had been committed, and who had treated her with severity, never felt, during the whole course of her reign, any effects of her resentment.[**] Yet was not the gracious reception which she gave, prostitute and undistinguishing.…
