Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Three Judges Story of the Men Who Beheaded Their King In the preparation of this work, it has not been thought necessary to note minutely the sources from which its materials were derived. The great Revolution of 1640-1659 is among the most familiar topics of English history, and is recounted at length in all our standard authorities on that subject. Of the trial and execution of the King, and the barbarous punishments inflicted on such of his judges as fell into the hands of his son after the Restoration, detailed accounts are given by Nalson, Caulfield, Ludlow, Pepys, and many other writers of that day. For our knowledge of the events attending the exile of the three judges who fled to America, their concealment and hardships, and the heroism of the infant colonies in giving them a shelter at their own imminent peril, we are chiefly indebted to the late President Stiles, of Yale College. He investigated the matter with all the industry which its intrinsic interest and his enthusiastic admiration for the venerable men who were its subjects, could inspire. Living within less than one hundred years of their time, when not a few survived whose fathers and grandfathers were personally cognizant of the facts, he had advantages for ascertaining the truth which no subsequent writer could share.
