197 the monarch and the subject may be exa- mined with impartiality. That of EUzabeth and Davison in the transaction which proved so fatal to the latter, has now undergone a rigid scrutiny, and it is for the world to de- cide between them. To the admirers of inte- grity and virtue, to those who will not suffer even the regal robe to be a paUiative for meanness, injustice, and hypocrisy, the cha- racter of William Davison is confidently en- trusted ; and if new matter should be disco- vered, by ...which it could undergo a more rigorous investigation, it would in all proba- bility only the more fiilly confirm his claims to our respect. Aflter the failure of what Davison con- sidered his last hope, of moving either Eli- zabeth's justice or pity, he retired to his house at Stepney. Excepting that on the 21st of November, 1597, he wrote to Sir Ro- bert Cecil, stating the circumstances of a debt due from the Queen to Sir Horatio Pa- lavicino, * and some letters to him from his eldest son which will be noticed hereafter, * Cottonian MSS.
