⁂ Scarce pair of pamphlets published in opposition to the proposed Spanish marriage of Prince Charles and to Spanish influence generally, consisting of fabricated reports from the Spanish ambassador Gondomar long-thought to be genuine. On his discovery as the author, Scott was forced to flee the country. The first part includes reference to Virginia and the Bermudas. Both parts appeared in a number of different (often mixed) issues; here the engraved title of the second part seems to correspond to 22103.3, combined with the text of 22103.
