Excerpt from Select Statutes and Other Constitutional Documents: Illustrative of the Reigns of Elizabeth and James I IN this edition, I have modified, in view of a criticism by Professor F. C. Montague, a statement in the Introduction (p. Lxxiii) relative to the Act 26 Hen. VIII. 10; and I have added six documents. The Charter (p. 461) granted to the Merchant Adventurers near the outset of Elizabeth's reign, may be usefully com pared with that which established the East India Company (p. 448) at its close. It is discussed at 'length by Mr. W. E. Lingelbach in the Transactions of the Royal Historical Society (new Series), vol. Xvi, p. 19 seq.; and in his Laws and Ordinances of the Merchant Adventurers of England where also extracts from the Charter are printed. It is also referred to by Dr. R. Ehrenberg in his Hamburg and England i'm Zeitalter der Konigin Elizabeth (p. 73 seq), and by other authors. A fresh charter, with developments mainly concerning internal government, was granted in 1586. The series of documents bearing on Letters of Marque, or Reprisal, illustrates the system in vogue in the sixteenth century, by which covert war was made on countries with which the State was 'ostensibly at peace, and throws light on the manner in which the Navy was. Supplemented by private enterprise. The subject is referred to by Mr. R. G. Marsden (to whose kindness I owe the series) in his Intro duction to Select Pleas of the High Court of Admiralty (selden Society), vol. Ii, and in Transactions of the Royal Historical Society (new Series) vol. Xvi, p. 74. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
