Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Commonwealth and Protectorate 1649-1660, Vol. 2 In preparing this volume for the press, I have not only once more to express my constant obligations to Mr. Firth for his advice on many doubtful points, but have also to thank him for the loan of the manuscript of his forthcoming volume, which the Scottish History Society is about to publish under the title of Scotland and the Protectorate. Under these circumstances, it has been impossible to refer to the documents by page, but any one wishing to consult them at once will find those emanating from a royalist source amongst the Clarendon MSS. in the Bodleian Library, whilst those from the English Commanders are amongst the Clarke MSS. at Worcester College. It will be seen that one of my most arduous tasks has been the reconstruction of the involved diplomacy of Cromwell at the time when he was hesitating between France and Spain. The French view of the negotiation can be fairly recovered from the despatches in the Archives des Affaires Etrangeres at Paris, of which transcripts are to be found at the Record Office. The Archives at Simancas, though containing many valuable documents, some of which were published many years ago by M. Guizot, are unfortunately very defective.
