Excerpt from Memorials of the Civil War, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising the Correspondence of the Fairfax Family With the Most Distinguished Personages Engaged in That Memorable ContestLondon Apprentices into the House of Commons - these letters afford circumstantial relations of particular facts which have not hitherto been so completely described and in other instances they reveal secret Opinions and feelings which exercised an important in¿uence upon the conduct of public men. Fairfax's share in the Restoration is here, for the first time, disclosed in full. The Correspondence also incidentally illustrates the Personal History and Social Life of the times.The Volumes are enriched by the addition of many unpublished letters bearing upon contemporary events, from a valuable collection in the possession of Mr. Bentley.In preparing the whole for publication, the Editor has confined himself to the duty of elucidating obscure pas sages, and supplying such links of History and Biography as appeared essential to a distinct exhibition of the events and persons referred to in the Correspondence. He has endeavoured to avoid all super¿uous matter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
