Excerpt from State Papers, Vol. 4: Published Under the Authority of His Majesty's Commission; King Henry the Eight

The earliest original document of the Reign of Henry VIII., relative to Scotland, now remaining in the State Paper Office, is an account of the battle of Flodden, which is printed, because it differs, in some points, from other narratives of that fight, in which James IV. Was slain and is expressly referred to by the latest Historian of that aera. With the exception of a few Papers, which, as they relate principally to England, are published in the first Volume of this lvork, yet contain some information as to Scottish affairs, there is no other document in the State Paper Office throwing light on Scottish history, till the letter in which James V. Announced to Henry VIII. His assumption of the Royal authority, in 1524. The series, therefore, now published, commences with papers illustrative of that event, which appears to have been contemplated by Queen Margaret, and a party of the Scottish Lords, in the year 1528, and to have originated in the apprehension that the young King would, either by force or by stealth, be conveyed to France by the Regent Albany to have been suspended upon the Regent's visit to Scotland in the autumn of that year, probably in consequence of impediments arising out of his presence; and to have been resumed, as soon as he quitted the realm, in the ensuing Spring.

The greater portion of these papers during the years 1523 and 1524 are found in the Cottonian Library, and have been ransacked by Pinkerton as materials for his portion of Scottish history; viz. From the accession of the House of Stuart to that Of Mary. He complains that the opulence of original correspondence, for these two years.
