THE RIVERSIDE PRESS LIMITED, EDINBURGH

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FOOTNOTES: | | | | [1] The Venetian envoy Scaramelli, writing to the Doge from | | London on the 15th May 1603, says, “Et fra tanto non entrera sua | | Maestà in Londra, ma solamente prenderá il possesso della Torre | | ad uso antico, come del Trono et fondomento regale, essendovi in | | essa il Tresoro, et le Armi, ciò è tutte le forze del regno,” | | which translated is, “Meantime his Majesty will not enter London, | | but will only take possession of the Tower, according to ancient | | custom, as the Throne and the foundation of the royal power, for | | in the Tower are the treasury and the armoury—that is, all the | | strength of the realm.” Two years later (on December 8th, 1605) | | Nicolo Molini, the Venetian Ambassador in England, writes to | | Venice about the Tower, “It is a most remarkable fact in this | | country, that if a nobleman is put in the Tower, he either loses | | his life or ends his days there.” I am indebted to my friend, | | Mr Horatio F. Brown, for these two interesting notices which he | | found in the Venetian State Paper Records. | | | | [2] Among the contemporary dramatists of Shakespeare, reference | | to the Tower is made by Peele, Decker, Webster, and Heywood. | | Peele, in his play of “Edward I.,” where Llewellyn, Prince of | | Wales, mentions how his father broke his neck in attempting to | | escape from what he calls “Julius Cæsar’s Tower.” Decker and | | Webster refer to the fortress in their “Famous History of Sir | | Thomas Wyatt,” and to Guildford Dudley and Jane Grey; Heywood, in | | his tragedy of “Edward IV.,” recounts the murders of Clarence and | | the sons of Edward, and refers to Queen Elizabeth’s imprisonment | | in the Tower in his “History of Queen Elizabeth.” There are also | | allusions to the Tower and to Cromwell, Earl of Essex, and to Sir | | John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham, in the “Doubtful Plays.” The above | | information I have obtained from that rare scholar and critic, | | Dr Furnival. Probably scattered about the country are many other | | inscriptions recording the connection with the Tower of the dead, | | commemorated as was Sir Edward Walsingham on his tomb by his son | | Sir Thomas, in the church of St Nicholas at Chislehurst in Kent: | | | | “A knight, sometime of worthie fame, | | Lyeth buried under this stonie bower; | | Sir Edmund Walsingham was his name, | | Lieutenant he was of London Tower.” | | | | [3] In a series of fac-simile letters of illustrious personages | | published by John Thorne in 1793, is the following from Strafford | | to his wife. It is dated from the Tower the 4th February 1640—but | | this date is evidently a mistake, and 1641 must be the year:— | | | | “Sweet Harte,” he writes, “it is long since I writt unto you, for | | I am here in such trouble as gives me little or noe respett. The | | Charges now cum in, and I am now able, prayse God, to tell you, | | that I conceave there is nothing Capitall, and for the rest I | | knowe at the worste his Ma.ty will pardon all without hurting my | | fortune, and then we shall be happy by God’s grace. Therefore, | | comfortt your self, for I trust these cloudes will pass away, | | and that we shall have faire weather afterwardes. Farewell.—Your | | loving husband, | | STRAFFORD.” | | | | [4] Sir Isaac Pennington was a fishmonger, and elected Alderman | | of the Ward of Bridge Without, January 29th, 1638; and became | | Lord Mayor, 1641–42. He was one of the Commissioners who sat upon | | the trial of Charles I., for which he was condemned to death at | | the Restoration, but was not executed. He was sent to the Tower | | August 25th, 1660, where he died on the 17th of the following | | December. | | | | [5] Sir John Robinson was a clothworker, and elected Alderman | | of Dowgate, December 18th, 1655, and chosen Sheriff, June 24th, | | 1657. He was removed to Cripplegate, December 7th, 1658, and | | made Lord Mayor in 1662, being appointed Lieutenant of the Tower | | on September 22nd, 1663. He was the eldest son of the Reverend | | William Robinson, Archdeacon of Nottingham, and was knighted at | | Canterbury on 26th May 1660, and created a baronet in the June of | | the same year.... He was a nephew of Archbishop Laud, and married | | Anne, daughter of Sir George Whitmore, a knight and an alderman. | | He was Lieutenant of the Tower from 1661 to 1678. King Charles | | II. and his Queen, the Queen-mother and the Duke and Duchess of | | York, dined with him at the Clothworkers’ Hall, where he kept his | | mayoralty on the 23rd of June 1663. The pageant performed by his | | Company at his inauguration was entitled “London’s Triumph.” The | | _Gazette_ of April 23rd to 26th, 1666, contains an account of the | | trial of certain persons for high treason for conspiring to kill | | him and other officers of the Tower, and to fire the city. He was | | a benefactor to the Clothworkers’ Company, who still preserve his | | portrait in their hall. | | | | [6] The pamphlet has been copied _in extenso_, and will be found | | in the Appendix.
