Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
The Limes, Nelson Street, Manchester. - Was mistaken in citing Hunter's life of Oliver Heywood as authority for proclamation of Queen Elizabeth as Empress; the correct source is an anonymous history of the Church of England in the reign of the Tudors, published in 1851; quotes extract from Harleian MSS given in the book; if verified it would be more appropriate than Disraeli's references to Raleigh and Spenser.
