Henry Peacham - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09) |
 | | Incriminating papers had been discovered in the house of Edmond Peacham, rector of Hinton Saint George, who, on being charged with an attack on the king denied the authorship, stating that they were written by a namesake, "a divine, a scholar and a traveller." The change was, however, easily rebutted. |
 | | Peacham was a Cavalier, even an ardent polemist in the royal cause, but the central point of his book is a more or less Puritan sentiment of duty. |
 | | In his later years Peacham was reduced to extreme poverty, and is said to have written children's books at a penny each. |
