A West Country Pilgrimage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781544286662)

"For this and other beneficial expeditions and designs, her Majesty was pleased to confer on him the honour of Knighthood; which in her reign was more esteemed; the Queen keeping the temple of honour close shut, and never open'd but to vertue and desert." Well may democracy call for the destruction of that temple when contemplating those that are permitted entrance to-day. Then vanished Elizabeth, and a coward king took her place. "Fourteen years Sir Walter spent in the Tower, of whom Prince Henry would say that no King but his father would keep such a bird in a cage." But freedom followed, and the scholar turned into the soldier again.
