Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Manuscripts of the Duke of Beaufort, K. G: The Earl of Donoughmore, and Others
With the exception of some interesting letters from Charles I. To the Marquis of Worcester, and a few family letters of the Commonwealth period, the papers described in this Report belong almost exclusively to the latter half of the 17th century. All other documents belonging to the family of an earlier date were probably dispersed, or destroyed, at the sack of Raglan Castle during the Civil War. To this calamity must be attributed the absence, from a place where they would naturally be preserved, of almost all traces Of the life and works of the author of the Century of Inventions.
