Abstract

John Chamberlain writes to Sir Dudley Carleton of the Spanish ambassador's delight in bear-baiting. The ambassador, he notes, has recently visited Paris Garden [the Hope], where he saw a bull, bear, horse, and monkeys baited, as well as a white bear baited by dogs in the Thames, 'which was the best sport of all.'
