[Footnote 023: _Letters from and to Sir Dudley Carleton, during his
Embassy in Holland, from January 1615-16[**Modern presentation.] to
December 1620. London, 1757, p. 84_,--Sir Dudley Carleton's Letters
abound with harsh expressions respecting Grotius. The Editor of this
correspondence has inserted (p. 415) a letter from Grotius to Dr.
Lancelot Andrews, written from the Castle at Louvestein. "This letter,"
says the Editor, "which was never printed before, deserves a place here,
not only for its elegance and spirit, and its connection with the
subject of the work, but likewise in justice to the memory of the great
writer, as it contains his own justification of his conduct, which may
be compared with the less favourable accounts of it in the preceding
letters of Sir Dudley Carleton. The original is extant among the
manuscripts in the library of the late Sir Hans Sloane, bart.
