Another example of Ricardian doublespeak

From H Halliwell-Phillips in Letters of the Kings of England (1846)
commenting on a letter from Richard to his bishops --

This letter will be read with interest by those who are impressed with
Shakespeareýs view of Richardýs character. It, of course, proves nothing
either way. Richard was a consummate hypocrite, and documents like the
present exhibit his policy, not his honesty. It must, however, be admitted
that the former was often graced by much apparent good sense and feeling.

Well if he was a hypocrite he was probably writing to another set of hypocrites - sorry!

Wasn't the future Cardinal John Morton one of these bishops?
H Halliwell-Phillips can be consigned to obscurity!

Yes indeed (consign him to the rubbish heap), except that he did publish
the texts of some of Richard's letters. Haven't checked yet to see yet if
they've all been published elsewhere. Halliwall also included something
supposedly written by Richard to "the Chieftains of his Army; before the
Battle of Bosworth Field". It's just anachronistic drivel, but at least
the editor said he found it doubtful. The sources given for this missive
are "Chronicle of England Rawlinson. MSS. Also in Stowe's transcripts in
the Harl. MSS." I couldn't bring myself to copy it...
