Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Biographical History of England, From Egbert the Great to the Revolution, Vol. 4 of 6: Congisting of Characters Disposed in Different Classes, and Adapted to a Methodical Catalogue of Engraved British Heads: Intended as an Essay Towards Reducing Our Biography to System, and a Help to the Knowledge of Portraits Their principal business was to search out and examine such as had borne arms for Charles I. or were disaffected to the present government; and to punish them by imprisonment, decimation of their estates, &c. See Class II. Lieutenant-General Lambert. Walker p. Houbraken sc. In the collection of the late Earl of Bradford. Illust. Head. Major-General Lambert; h. sh. mezz. (F. Place.) The Honourable Major-General Lambert; oval; large 4 to. slashed sleeves; looking to the left. Major-General Lambert; in armour; cravat, &c. John Lambert, &c.in armour; looking to the right: style of Gaywood; oval. In Aug, 1659. Major-general Lambert distinguished himself by his valour and conduct on many occasions, during the civil war; particularly at the battle of Naseby, at the battle of Fife, in Scotland, and by his victory in Cheshire, where he totally defeated the forces commanded by Sir George Booth: for which important service the parliament presented him with 1000/. to buy a jewel. He was, of all the officers of the army, the second to Cromwell, in courage, prudence, and capacity; but was equal to him only in ambition. The Protector regarded him with a jealous eye; and, upon his refusal to take the oath to be faithful to his government, deprived him of his commission, but granted him a pension of 2000/. This was an act of prudence, rather than generosity; as he well knew, that such a genius as Lambert´s, rendered desperate by poverty, was capable of attempting any thing.
