Records Volume 52: The Letters and Despatches of Richard Verstegan

Published on Jan 1, 1959

The Catholic Record Society

The letters and despatches of the Catholic exile, Richard Verstegan, have, with only a few exceptions, long remained unpublished. In view of their bearing on later Elizabethan history, particularly that concerned with the affairs of English Catholics in England and on the Continent, it has been considered desirable to edit them as a useful contribution to the publications of the Catholic Record Society, thus augmenting the volumes of letters from the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods previously edited by Fr. L. Hicks, S.]., namely, those of Robert Persons and Thomas Fitzherbert, with both of whom Verst egan frequently corresponded, though none of his despatches to Fitzherbert is extant.
