Power, surgeon at Bosworth in Leicestershire to try, whether the small-pox could be inoculated by using the blood of a variolous patient instead of the matter from the pustules; as I thought such an experiment might throw some light at least on this interesting subject. The following is an extract from his letter: "March 11, 1793.
I would not have thee die as they did. 'Come with me, he said in her ear. 'I have dropped my lance. Never shall I ride to horse again. I would not lose thee; art all I have. 'Why, get thee gone for a brave old boy, she said. 'I will come ere the last pynot has chattered its last chatter. 'It is no light matter, he answered. 'I am Rochford of Bosworth Hedge.
Henry's cause seemed a losing one until Bosworth Field settled the contention. To your charges, gentlemen. We shall march in half-an-hour. Colonel Saxon and you, Sir Stephen, shall cover the rear and guard the baggage a service of honour with this fringe of horse upon our skirts. The council broke up forthwith, every man riding off to his own regiment.
Accordingly the Queen continued: "The Wars of the Roses, children, did not end altogether at Bosworth but in the Tower happened much that is best forgotten. Take a book and read something." "We have been reading all the morning," answered Anne surnamed Boleyn or Bullen. "What are you reading then? "Chaucer." "The Canterbury Tales? Those are not for children: Chaucer was a jester.
Frank Shaw was the son of the owner and editor of an influential daily newspaper in New York, Jack Bosworth was the son of a wealthy board of trade man, and Jimmie McGraw was a Bowery newsboy who had attached himself to Ned Nestor, his patrol leader, just before the visit to Mexico and had clung to him like a puppy to a root, as the saying is, ever since.
The latest ed. is that of Mr. Contributions, 1891. His poems, of which the best known is Bosworth Field, pub. by his s., 1629. Another, The Crown of Thorns, is lost. Miscellaneous writer, only s. of William B., Lord Mayor of London, the associate and supporter of John Wilkes, inherited at the age of 9 an enormous fortune.
Ned wished to be Richard the Third, and Charlie that of Richmond and repeat the triumphs of Bosworth; but meeting such obstinate opposition from their council, turned their attention to "something commoner," as Ned expressed himself.
At Bosworth, August 22, 1485, the two armies met in the last battle of the Wars of the Roses. Richard fought fiercely, wearing his crown; and when he was defeated and killed, the crown was placed on Henry's head. The people of England did not care who ruled, Richard or Henry, as long as he kept order, for they were very tired of civil war.
Richard III, the usurper, when he lost his only son, had thought of making this boy his heir, but the unfortunate child was passed over in favour of John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, and remained in close confinement at Sheriff Hutton until August, 1485, when the Battle of Bosworth placed Henry VII on the throne.
But Henry at Bosworth in 1485 still belonged to the days of chivalry to an era in which monarchs were also armour-clad knights, who headed charges in person and gave and took with spear, sword, and battle-axe.
