ADDRESS to James I, by James Maxwell [of Little Airds, see Dict. Nat. Biogr.], explaining the project of a 'Discourse under the name of Britaine's Union in Love' which he proposes to write in support of the Union. In his introductory letter, in which he refers to his grandfather William MaxweIl, man-at-arms to Mary, Queen of Scots (cf. also f. 5 b), he mentions two other works, viz. 'Fatum Britannicum ex oraculis Sibylnicis variisque hominum variarum gentium vaticiniis excerptum Graecis, Latinis, Gallicis quoque et Britannicis', and and at f. 5 a projected pamphlet, which he began when in France, entitled 'A Defence of the fame of the most illustrious Samotheane Queene, &c., against the malitious contumelie of a threefolde false imputation'. None of these are given in the list of the author's works in D. N. B. or in that of his projects in his Carolanna; see also Nichols, Progresses of K. James, ii, p. 507.
Paper; ff. 14. Quarto. 83/4 in. x 61/2 in. Temp. Jas. I. Not in the old catalogues.
