Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clarke Papers, Vol. 2: Selections From the Papers of William Clarke, Secretary to the Council of the Army, 1647-1649, and to General Monck and the Commanders of the Army in Scotland, 1651-1660 The papers contained in this, like those in the previous volume, are derived from the Clarke manuscripts in Worcester College Library, and are mainly from the volumes numbered xvi., lii., lxv., and cxiv. But single documents have also been taken from other volumes in the same collection. Moreover, while these selections were being printed, my attention was called to the fact that a certain number of Clarke´s MSS. were in the possession of Mr. F. Leybourne Popham, of Littlecote, Wilts, and were being examined for the Royal Commission on Historical MSS. By the kind permission of the Commissioners, and of the owner, I was allowed to copy several papers for publication in this volume. The thanks of the Camden Society are also due to Mr. J. J. Cartwright, for his good offices in the matter, and for the liberality with which he facilitated the consultation of the MSS., and the copying of the selected papers. Mr. Popham´s papers are specially valuable as supplementing the meagre account of William Clarke´s own life given in the preface to volume one. A letter from Robert Spavin, one of Rushworth´s assistants during part of 1648 and 1649, and secretary to Cromwell, fixes the date of Clarke´s marriage. Spavin, who had accompanied Cromwell´s forces into Scotland, wrote to Clarke on November 2, 1648, to congratulate him and wish him joy. "Deare friend and Mr. Bridegroome, I am glad you have a little breathing time after your solemnityes to visit your poor friends with a line.
