Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of England, Vol. 7 of 8: From the First Invasion by the Romans
Blood had been shed except in the field of battle. But now that check was removed. The fanatics, not satisfied with the death of the king, demanded, with the bible in their hands, additional victims; and the politicians deemed it prudent by the display of punishment to restrain the machinations of their enemies. Among the royalists in custody were the duke' of Hamilton (who was also earl of Cambridge in England), the earl of Holland, Goring, earl of Norwich, the lord Cape], and sir John Owen, all engaged in the last attempt for the restoration.
