Trade Review
"A masterful edition of a public letter to Sir Charles Cornwallis, English Ambassador to the Spanish Court of Phillip III by Joseph Creswell, a prominent English Jesuit residing in Madrid. Drafted in 1606, the polemic argues for relief from the new penal laws passed by Parliament in reaction to the notorious Gunpowder Plot. " -Albion
