JACOBEAN INTELLIGENCE
SIR,—In your issue of March 30 we are flattered to notice that you have devoted some three inches of your valuable space to a selec- tion of extracts taken from an article on James I by Mr. Maurice Lee and a review by Dr. A. P. Thornton of Professor D. H. Willson's new biography King James VI and 1, published simultaneously in the March issue of History Today. As its editors, may we express our gratitude for the attention you have paid our magazine, and point out at the same time that we were not unaware how very different were the opinions put forward by our two contributors? One is an American scholar, the other a Scot. In their interpreta- tion of historical events and characters, his- torians will always disagree. Among our objects is to promote discussion, and thus enable the intelligent general reader to formu- late his awn views.—Yours faithfully,
PETER QUENNELL ALAN HODGE
