Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Clarendon State Papers Preserved in the Bodleian Library, Vol. 2 It is chiefly among these hitherto unexamined papers that new matter of general interest occurs; for with regard to the general collection, the Editors of the printed portion relating to the period comprised in this volume, Dr. Scrope and Mr. Monkhouse, appear to have made their choice with great judgment and care, as well as accuracy and fulness. As, however, the final Editor, Mr. Monkhouse, was compelled in the latter part of the third volume to confine his selections within a much narrower compass, it is probable that among the unpublished papers of 1655-1660, there may be found more of general historical interest than in those as yet described. Among the additional papers calendared in the present volume, however, are many that came to the Library only a few years since, on the final transfer by the Clarendon Trustees of all the documents then remaining in their custody. And, as a part of these, specially preserved in drawers in Clarendons own iron-bound escritoire, were brought to light copies of the King´s disguised correspondence with royalists in England, as well as his letters to members of the Royal Family; chief amongst which latter are the interesting letters described at pp. 403-439, relating to the attempt of the Queen Dowager Henrietta Maria to force the Duke of Gloucester into a Jesuit College, and to effect his conversion to the Church of Rome, contrary to a promise of non-interference which she had given to the King. The actual facts of this attempt are correctly related in Cartes Life of Ormonde and in the History of the Rebellion, but none of the letters upon the matter which were written by the King, Queen, or Duke himself, or by his tutor, Mr. Lovell, have as yet seen the light.
