It Might Have Been - Emily Sarah Holt - Bog

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." That is one of the main lessons to be learned from the strange story of the Gunpowder Plot. The narrative here given, so far as its historical portion is concerned, is taken chiefly from original and contemporaneous documents. It has been carefully kept to facts-in themselves more interesting than any fiction-and scarcely a speech or an incident has been admitted, however small, for which authority could not be adduced.
