Inscription: inscription : printed : lower centre inside plate mark & recto : : as the commissioners and other gentlemen where attending her in the procession, she was / met by Melvil, her Steward, who for three weeks past had been denied any access to her. He fell / upon his knees, and breaking out into a passion of tears, lamented the hard fate, that he must be the sad messenger of such sorrowfull news, as to report in Scotland that his good and / gracious Queen and Mistress was beheaded in England. The Queen said, Melvil, my good servant, lament no more, but rather rejoice, for thou shall now see a final period to / Mary Stewart's cares. / Published as the Act directs April 20, 1790, by T. Monzani, No. 1 Duke Street, Grovensor Square. //
