Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Clarendon State Papers, Vol. 4: Preserved in the Bodleian Library, 1657-1660 The late Mr. Vernon Watney of Cornbury Park, Clarendon´s Oxfordshire seat, at the beginning of 1914 made a very generous gift to Bodley´s Library for completing the Calendar of Clarendon Papers. Three volumes of this calendar, edited by the Rev. O. Ogle, Mr. W. H. Bliss, and the Rev. W. D. Macray, were published over fifty years ago. The Delegates of the Clarendon Press accepted a share of the financial burden of the new publication, and Sir Charles Firth undertook the general direction of the scheme. To Sir Charles Firth the present editor is indebted to an extent which he is quite unable adequately to express, not only for the privilege of being chosen to do the work, but also for much invaluable advice, kindly criticism and continuous encouragement. During the years 1915 to 1919 the actual calendaring of the manuscripts was entirely suspended, and only completed in the autumn of 1920. Owing to post-war costs and other difficulties, printing could not be begun until the autumn of 1924, but since the editor had in the meantime assumed other duties, many subsequent interruptions in the tedious work of revising proofs and indexing have caused further postponements of publication. For this delay sincere apologies are given and grateful acknowledgement made of the indulgent forbearance of the late Sir Arthur Cowley and of the Delegates of the Clarendon Press. Limitations of space have made necessary several modifications of the plan of the earlier volumes of the calendar, but it is hoped that at the same time some improvements have been introduced. Whereas Macray´s last volume included only seven volumes, or approximately 2,330 ff. of the original papers, the present volume covers nearly fifteen and a quarter volumes, or approximately 5,100 ff. of the manuscripts. The abstracts are in consequence more summary, formal matter and papers or parts of papers already printed elsewhere being very briefly noticed, and the phraseology of the originals rarely retained; but, on the other hand, it has been found possible to include more systematic references to the receipt and dispatch of letters. The volume number (in the top margin of the page) and folio of the original (in round brackets at the end of each entry) are now given. Considerable research has been undertaken to assign exact or approximate dates to undated documents, and to place them in chronological order.
