Excerpt
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end there of 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.
Those of my Readers who have made the acquaintance of Lettice Eden, and Joyce Morrell’s Harvest, will meet some old friends in this tale.
