Letters Relating to the Mission of Sir Thomas Roe to Gustavus Adolphus. 1692–30
View through CrossRef
Gustavus Adolphus is a hero of every nation, and it is unnecessary to apologise for the publication of a series of papers which bring him before us as painted by a writer so observant and intelligent as Sir Thomas Roe. The two papers added in the Appendix complete the portrait by strokes from his own hand. I have so recently given an account of the negotiation out of which they sprung that it would be needless to repeat here what I have said elsewhere. But even if these two papers stood alone they would be sufficient to establish the greatness of Gustavus's character. Their weight, firmness, and circumspection stand out in bold relief if they are contrasted with the diplomacy of James and Charles; but I should fancy that they hardly need that foil to attract the attention which they deserve.
