Note 866 — JAMES I 1603-1625
Reading edition

The evidence in question is of value for to-day, and may be instructively compared with the reports of the committee of investigation of 1803-5 on the again astonishing condition of naval administration. It is to be hoped that the Navy Records Society will print the Cottonian MS.
