Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Nicholas Papers, Vol. 4: Correspondence of Sir Edward Nicholas, Secretary of State Apart from letters omitted as being of insufficient interest, many have evidently been lost, and breaks in continuity are only too frequent. Thus the correspondence of 1657 only extends as far as p. 33, and mostly consists of Birch´s extracts from letters of Nicholas himself to various correspondents or of letters addressed to him by his intimate friend the Marquis of Ormonde. Towards the end of the year, however, there are two letters from Charles II. to Prince Rupert and the Elector of Mainz warning them against the traitor and spy Colonel Bampfield (p. 18), and several others from Percy Church with Paris and London news, from Sir Henry de Vic at Brussels, and from John Ball at Hamburg on the war between Sweden and Denmark and Cromwell´s efforts to bring about a peace. Nicholas at this time was residing at Bruges, where he joined the King soon after his removal thither from Cologne in April, 1656. Although he had ceased to be actual Secretary of State on the surrender of Oxford in 1646, when he went into exile, he retained the title until the death of Charles I., and in August or September, 1654, while Charles II. was at Aix, he was reappointed to the same office, the duties of which in the interval had been discharged by Hyde, Chancellor of the Exchequer. At the same time, although, as his correspondence and papers show, he was kept busily employed, he complains (p. 12) that he was not treated with full confidence, and probably he exercised little real influence on the policy of the exiled court, which from first to last was mainly controlled by Hyde. He was also wretchedly poor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
