Excerpt from Verney Papers: Notes of Proceedings in the Long Parliament, Temp, Charles IWith the exception of some few single speeches, and the brief minutes in the journals, we have little to which we may appeal, with any thing like an assurance of its fidelity, as a representation of the actual proceedings Of the long parliament. The feeling of the house was against allowing any one to record what took place. Rushworth, the clerk-assistant, was prohibited from writing any thing but what was usually entered on the journal, and even the practice of members taking notes was discouraged, and, on special occasions, was controlled or put a stop to. The present volume, in its accounts of the cases of lord Digby and sir Edward Deering. Bears testimony to the perils which environed members who dared to publish their Speeches without leave of the house.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
