NOTE. (1) Page 118.-The constant cry of Sir H. Sydney to the queen was, "Your majesty must plant justice here." His manner of giving in his resignation was singular, as coming from an Irish lord-lieutenant. 66 If," he says, 66 that cowardly policy be still allowed to keep the Irish in continual dissension, for fear lest through their quiet might follow I know not what, then my advice to your majesty both is and shall be, to withdraw me and all charge here. It is flattering to Ireland, that the few men of talent who have been sent to govern that kingdom became ever after her firm friends. Of this Sir H. Sydney, the unfortunate Lord Essex,* and Lord Chesterfield, are proofs. *The Earl of Essex here alluded to is not the favourite of Elizabeth's court, but the unfortunate nobleman who was murdered in the Tower.-See Essex's Letters.
