Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Debates in the House of Commons in 1625 In the Appendix will be found an independent report of the greater part of the Oxford debates, which is even of greater interest than that in the text. This is followed by some letters relating to the session, by a defence of the conduct of the Government with respect to those foreign affairs which attracted so much attention at Oxford, and by a report from Pym upon Montague´s case, which, though delivered in the succeeding Parliament, may be regarded as the final word of those who moved the attack in 1625. I have to express my warmest thanks to Mr. Forster for placing unreservedly in my hands his copy of the Negotium Posterorum. For ordinary readers, the very full extracts which he has printed are quite sufficient. Nothing in fact, except of a very microscopic nature, has been omitted in his selections or his abbreviations. But it will be easily understood that in editing the present report it was often of the utmost consequence to me, not merely to know what Eliot said, but to be quite certain what he did not say. Space will not allow me here to anticipate the account of the history of the period, which I hope some day or another to attempt. But a few words to point out what seems to me the general bearing of the present publication upon our knowledge of this Parliament will not be out of place. All historians have concurred in rating highly the importance of the first Parliament of Charles I. to a right understanding of subsequent events. When it was summoned, the King and the House of Commons appeared to be on the best of terms. When it was dissolved, the great quarrel between them had fairly commenced.
