Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Commonwealth and Protectorate, Vol. 3: 1649 1660
Mr. Gardiner fell ill soon after he published the third volume of his History. He was, unhappily, able to complete very little of the projected fourth volume, and the chapter now printed is the only part of it in a sufficiently advanced state for publication. In printing it a few verbal alterations have been made where some slight change or correction seemed necessary, but with these exceptions Mr. Gardiner's manuscript has been faithfully followed. The manu script of the chapter is in the possession of Mrs. Gardiner; she has helped to see it through the press, and the index is her work. C. H. Firth.
