I have oftentimes wished, that amongst so many large volumes, and abridgments of our English Chronicles, as are now extant, we might have one continued history collected out of approved writers, and digested in such a manner, as the reader might neither be tired with the length of fabulous and extravagant discourses, nor left unsatisfied in any material points or circumstances worth his knowledge. And, although truth in her nakedness and simplicity ought, for her own sake, to be desired and preferred above all other things; yet we see, that the nature of man, affecting, for the most part, rather pleasure than profit, doth more willingly embrace such things as delight the sense, than such as confirm the judgment: though to satisfy both the one and the other, is accounted, in matters of this kind, the mark at which the best writers have aimed; as being the very type of perfection itself. In which respect, I am persuaded that such a work would be the better accepted, if the writer thereof should observe that method which hath been used in former times, by the best historiographers amongst the Greeks and Romans, who to shew their own wits, and to refresh their readers, devised set speeches and orations, to interlace, with their true histories, as things both allowable and commendable; so far forth as they were grounded upon probable conjectures, fitting the speakers, and void of absurdity. Which course hath been held also in our own stories, by some of our countrymen, in writing upon particular subjects, which they have chosen as most agreeable to their own humours, and ministering best matter of discourse. Amongst all which, of this kind, that excellent story of Richard the Third, written by Sir Thomas More, (if my judgment fail me not,) may worthily challenge the first place.
