Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Act in the Miraculous Story of His Majesty King Charles the Second´s Escape Out of the Reach of His Tyrannical Enemies It may be mentioned by way of note, that the Chancellor Clarendon, in his History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, gives a general narrative (Book XIII. vol. iii., p. 413) of all that happened to King Charles after the defeat of the royal army at Worcester, until he was conducted to a place called Heale, three miles from Salisbury, then belonging to Serjeant Hyde, who was afterwards Chief Justice of the King´s Bench, and in the occupation of the widow of his elder brother. He also states that the King lay here concealed for many days, until at length a vessel was provided on the coast of Sussex, through the exertions of Colonel Gounter, and the King having embarked at Brighthemsted, a small fishing town, by God´s blessing arrived safely in Normandy. The following account of the King´s journey from Heale to Brighthelmstone, supplies the chasm in Clarendon, and as such may be considered an interesting and important historical fragment. The MS. was found in a bureau, formerly the property of Colonel Gounter, who was buried at Racton, in Sussex. It has since [1832] been purchased by the Trustees of the British Museum, and now among the Add. MSS., No. 9008. Colonel Gounter´s Narrative escaped the researches of Mr. John Hughes, who published an annotated edition of the "Boscobel Tracts," 8 vo., London, 1830, and a second edition, much enlarged, in 1857. This, therefore, may be considered a useful supplement to his work. It was first printed in the columns of the "Surplice," a newspaper chiefly devoted to Church affairs, afterwards as a pamphlet, by James Bohn, London, 1846.
