	John Guy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guy visited the island in 1608 to scout possible locations for a settlement, selecting Cuper's Cove and the privy council accepted his petition in 1609 issuing a charter to the Earl of Northampton (Guy's patron).

		John Mason was appointed the second governor of the Cuper's Cove colony in 1615.

		The historian Gillian Cell argues that the original plantation was doomed to failure from the start because it could not earn enough to satisfy the company's shareholders, and at the same time support the colony.

		Previous biographers have described Mary's posh upbringing as a setback for the future leader of a country as rough as Scotland, but Guy argues her exposure to the wiles of her uncles, the Duke of Guise and the Cardinal of Lorraine, helped her.
		Guy supports that claim, but again goes a step further by placing the blame for this plot on Cecil.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart - John Guy - Hardcover
		Guy's biography is a masterpiece of moderation that steadfastly avoids the lure of her scandalous reputation.
		Guy, a fellow at Cambridge University and BBC consultant, describes Mary's formative years in France, but the heart of the book is her short reign in Scotland.
		Guy's detailed account of the familial, political and religious machinations of the forces swirling around the queen suggests that it was not flaws in Mary's character but the entire constellation of circumstances that doomed her rule in Scotland and led to her execution.

		John Holtby remembers this about the time he lost all his teeth: "What happened was the dentist in Richfield already had me in the chair when he pulled out a big screwdriver.
		John remembers when the doctors conspired to speed up time in 1967, and knows that this is the reason we are all exhausted now.
		That is the terror that fills John much of the time: the terror of being returned to an institution; of his mother dying; of being attacked by strangers; of the doctors who, in his private cosmology, sit like a pantheon of gods on high and play with "it" for their own amusement.

		As John Guy is at pains to point out in his new biography, Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, she was an astute politician and tactician.
		Guy reads with depth and understanding as he traces the years of the doomed queen from her youth spent in France to her execution.
		John Guy successfully puts these years of successful rule in their place and presents a version of the death of her husband Darnley that makes a great deal of sense given the evidence of this event that is still preserved in English archives.

		Guy Clark, best-known to the folks who read songwriting credits on albums by the artists who straddled folk music and country in the 1970s and '80s, emphasized tales of hard-living and glimpses of hope -- "Dublin Blues" and "The Cape" being standouts.
		Guy Clark grew up in Monahans, west Texas, where, he reckons, the country is so flat you can see for 50 miles in every direction.
		Guy Clark doesn't just write songs, he crafts them with the kind of hands-on care and respect that a master carpenter (a favorite image of his) would have when faced with a stack of rare hardwood.

	British Heritage Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Guy opens his book with Mary’s day of execution, in an account of such shocking immediacy that it leaves the reader shaken.
		Having secured our rapt attention, Guy then follows Mary’s story from her birth through her three ill-starred marriages, her flight to England, her years of captivity and finally the day when she steps across the threshold of her rooms at Fotheringay Castle to go to her execution.
		But as Guy points out in the epilogue, it was Mary’s son, James VI of Scotland -- James I of England -- who inherited the crown of England after Elizabeth’s death, and it is from Mary’s Stuart line that all of England’s sovereigns have descended ever since.

	Thomson Nelson - Elementary Humanities - Expressions of Faith
		John Guy's charter reflects the penal laws of his day, which did not permit practising Roman Catholics to settle in the colony.
		Bishop Raymond Lahey, a historian of Newfoundland Roman Catholicism who has written on religion in Lord Baltimore's Avalon, thinks that "the absence of restriction on Roman Catholic colonization in the Avalon charter is indeed remarkable" and highly unusual for that time.
		If we see how lenient the charter of Avalon was in comparison with that of John Guy, it becomes clear that even if Calvert had no Roman Catholic settlement in mind when he drafted the charter, later on it was so much easier for Roman Catholics to come and live in Newfoundland.

Buckley, John Courtney Murray, and Michael Novak.
		I think to the 'trust in the people,' John would probably say that is populism, and evil nationalism is probably lurking behind the door.

	The New York Times > Books > Sunday Book Review > 'Queen of Scots': Mary Stuart Living
		In Guy's account Mary is less the victim of the executioner's ax than of the pen: hers and Cecil's.
		The life of ''the unluckiest ruler in British history'' was full of what the poet Robert Southwell calls ''fortune's spite.'' Crowned queen of Scots before her first birthday in 1543, she spent her childhood in France in the shadow of her uncles, the duke of Guise and the cardinal of Lorraine.
		Guy's mastery of the documents presents a ''queen at the age of six days'' at the center of a web of letters passing among three capitals as England and France attempted to manage the politics of Scotland.

		In fact, his battlefield performance often left a LOT to be desired, and his fleeing from the field at Chickamauga and running all the way back to Chattanooga pretty much put the nail in the coffin of Rosecrans’ career as a battlefield commander.
		A guy like John Bell Hood was a truly great tactician on the battlefield at the divisional level, but once he was promoted to corps command and then to army command, he demonstrated no gift for much of anything other than attacking straight ahead.
		A good example is the depiction of John F. Reynolds reeling in the saddle after receiving his mortal wound on July 1, 1863.

		Guy never lets us doubt where his sympathies lie: Mary is alternately "masterful" and "beguiling," while her nemesis is "a spider." By John Freeman

		If there is one criticism I would direct at John Guy it would be that he has taken all the mystery away from her story.

		Through his pioneering research, we come to see her as an emotionally intricate woman and an adroit diplomat, maneuvering ingeniously among a dizzying array of powerful factions — the French, the English, duplicitous Scottish nobles, and religious zealots — who sought to control or dethrone her.
		Guy's investigation of Mary's storied demise throws sharp new light on questions that have baffled historians for centuries, including whether or not Mary was framed for the murder she lost her throne over.
		Eminent British historian Guy has unearthed a wealth of evidence that upends the popular notion of Mary Queen of Scots as a femme fatale and establishes her as the intellectual and political equal of Elizabeth I. back to top

	'A guy who liked to drink' - Sir John A. Macdonald: Architect of Modern Canada - CBC Archives
		As historian Michael Bliss put it in his 1994 book Right Honourable Men, today's popular image of Macdonald is that of a "whisky-soaked statesman." Bliss, however, points out that Macdonald's drinking binges typically happened in between "long spells of sobriety and very hard work" — he was by no means constantly drunk.
		He is said to have often remarked that the country would rather have a drunk John A. in power than his Liberal opponent George Brown sober.
		As historian Michael Bliss writes, the over-imbibing politician "was lucky to escape from the resulting fire with his life."
