Excerpt from Henry of Guise or the States of Blois, Vol. 1 of 3 The character of every person who plays a prominent part on the great stage of the world is of course lauded by friends and decried by adversaries at the time, and the mingled report comes down to after ages. But the mists of prejudice are wafted away by the breath of years. The character of the historian is considered in connexion with those of the personages he has depicted, and allowances are made for errors and wrong views on all sides: the greater facts remain, in general, clear and distinct, and from these, together with those small traits which are rather let fall accidentally than recorded, by contemporaries, the estimate of history is formed.
