Description:   Excerpt from Calendar of State Papers: Domestic Series, of the Reigns of Elizabeth, 1595-1597 The career of Essex, in the last important years of his life, finds in these Papers abundant illustration. The earliest document in date is an account of a curious device prepared by him for Her Majesty's entertainment on the anniversary of her accession in Next in order is the expedition for relief of Calais, of which he was appointed leader, and in which his earnestness of purpose made him chafe sorely against the obstacles which circumstances, and the Queen's vacillation threw in his way, the rather that he had pledged his honour, in a letter to Henry IV. Of France, to send him succours. His letters written from Dover, where he was waiting to embark, poured forth almost daily, sometimes three or four in a day, beginning April 3, 9 a. m., first urging expedition of the provision ships, as they must do something for Calais, or bury themselves before it, for the world looks they should relieve it; then full of anxiety to gain permission to throw men into the place, and to find the best point for relieving it. Fearing delays from the practices of his enemies at Court, he was rejoiced by the arrival of a full discretionary power, which, he says, so encourages him that it doubles the edge of his wit and the strength of his industry; and he toils all night to obtain a supply of sufficient victuals. His formal commission and instructions bear date April 13. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
