About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890. Excerpt: ... ESSAY VII. ROBERT WARE; OR, A ROGUE AND HIS DUPES. I. A Forger and his Method.

I am not going to re-write the history of the Olerkenwell discovery nor of the Titus Oates plot. The forgeries on which, in this essay, I shall be principally engaged have not, so far as I can learn, met with the attention they deserve, not indeed for their. importance or plausibility, but for the success they have obtained. I refer to the forgeries of Robert Ware, begun in 1678 contemporaneously with the revelations of Titus Oates, and continued for some years. Ware did not appear as an accuser or a witness in a court of justice; his forgeries in books and pamphlets were not directed against living men; yet by his historical lies he helped to win credit for the monstrous stories of the "Popish Plot," as being in harmony with former events and past discoveries; and there are several of his basele...
