I know God has been above all ill reports, and will in His own time vindicate me. — Oliver Cromwell : Letter to Col. Norton, 28 March, 1648. Tota cohors Papistica veram molitur conjurationem in nostros, in nos... Sit Deus Zabaoth Protector Protectoris et Ecclesiae? — Diplomatic Dispatch from Zurich, 20 January 1654 TO THE THEOLOGICAL FACULTY Of The FREDERICK-WILLIAM UNIVERSITY, AT BERLIN, As A Mark Of Gratitude From THE AUTHOR 3 ADVERTISEMENT STRUCK with the light thrown on the character and history of Cromwell by the various documents which have issued from the press during the last few years, I felt a desire to publish in a Continental Review the result of my examination. But so great was the interest I found in my subject, that I have written a Book rather than an Article, and am now compelled to renounce my first intentions, and to lay this Historical Essay before the Public in the form of a distinct work. Before I had attentively read Oliver Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches, edited by Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE, I thought it would be beneficial to translate his volumes into French; but my opinions in that respect are changed. They appear to us generally on the Continent to possess so much originality of thought and manner as to defy all possibility of rendering them into any of our languages. I would not be understood as censuring an undertaking, which, in my judgment, is one of the most remarkable that has been produced in Great Britain for a long period; indeed I have rarely met with any publication combining greater depth of research with remarks as acute as they are just. I have profited greatly by the scattered documents which Mr. Carlyle has so happily brought together. I am not insensible to the imperfections of the volume I now present to the English public. I therefore beg my readers to call to mind that my original design was merely to write an article for a Review. The object of this work, ...the rectification of the common opinion with regard to Cromwell’s religious character, has obliged the Author to introduce many quotations from his Letters and Speeches. Mere assertion or argument without proof would have been useless. It is not we who ought, in this day, to justify the great Protector; he should justify himself; and fortunately authentic and authoritative testimony is not wanting for this purpose. This circumstance will explain the difference between the volume now submitted to the reader and the Author’s other historical compositions. But he may also observe that the special nature of this work seemed occasionally to require him to introduce reflections, somewhat more extended perhaps than properly belong to history. 4 Should any of my friends be surprised at the choice of my subject, I would remind them that the epoch to which it relates is, perhaps, one of the most important in modern times, so far as concerns the new developments of nations; that Southey has said, “there is no portion of history in which it so much behooves an Englishman to be thoroughly versed, as in that of Cromwell’s age;” and above all, that “life would be nothing worth, if it were not employed to tell and to maintain the truth,” more especially a truth overlooked or forgotten. Ubi plura nitent ...non ego paucis Offendar maculis. I will make one observation more; although the Protector is the subject of this sketch, its main interest does not consist in him, but in Protestantism. Protestantism in Cromwell’s mind was far above his own person. No book can treat worthily of the great Oliver, if the Protestant interest does not hold the foremost place in it. We speak in his spirit when we respect the ancient motto: Deo soli gloria, omnia humana idola peteant! Protestantism is the great interest of Europe, of the world, — and, especially at this moment, the great interest of England. While revising this essay, I met with a learned and distinguished work by an anonymous author on German Protestantism. I was delighted to find that my ideas in many cases agreed with his, and I have, in several instances, profited by them. All the Protestant forces must now be aroused; and to that end, it is the duty of every evangelical writer to point them out. This task I have here feebly attempted, and I shall perhaps resume it at some future period, by publishing a few recollections of the journey I made in 1845 through Germany, England, and Scotland. The Theological Faculty of the University of Berlin having recently conferred upon me the degree of Doctor in Divinity, — a title which I had received some years ago from the College of Princeton, New Jersey, United States, — I think it my duty to conform with the German custom, and dedicate to that learned body the first Work published by me subsequently to that high honor. This will explain to my British readers the motives for the Dedication prefixed to this Volume. 5 J H. MERLE D’AUBIGNE Geneva, May 1847 The Author having observed that in England he is frequently called Dr. D’Au bigne, takes the liberty of reminding his readers that his name is Merle d’Aubigne; the latter appellation being assumed by his grandfather to prevent a name from becoming extinct which deserved well of Protestantism. As it proceeds from a matrimonial alliance, it is not sufficient of itself to designate the Author. 6 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 CROMWELL’S PRIVATE LIFE Tendency of the Stuarts — The Protestant Interest — Letter from a Country Gentleman — A Family on the Banks of the Ouse — The Earl of Essex — Oliver — His Birth and Parentage — A Hunting Match — James I. — O1iver at the University, and in London — His Morality — His Marriage — His Conversions — His Connections — Pleasantry — Charles I. — His Marriage, and the Twelve Capuchin Friars — Influence of the Queen — Oliver’s Conscientiousness CHAPTER 2 CROMWELL’S PARLIAMENTARY LIFE Cromwell’s Election and First Appearance in Parliament — His Portrait — Tonnage and Poundage — Struggle in Parliament — Dissolution — John Hampden’s Refusal — Absolutism and Popery installed — Evangelical Ministers — Persecutions: Leighton, Prynne, Bastwick, Burton — Scotland and the Covenant — New Parliament — Strafford — Charles’s Insincerity — Irish Massacre — Remonstrance — Militia Bill — Cavaliers and Roundheads — Charge against Five Members — Beginning of the Revolution — Cromwell and his Sons become Soldiers — Necessity — Hampden’s Opinion of Cromwell 7 CHAPTER 3 SCHISM BETWEEN THE KING AND THE PARLIAMENT Conquest of Liberty — Beginning of the War — Cromwell’s Frankness — Letter to Barnard — Intervention in Favor of Hapton Parish — Doubtful Advantages — Cromwell’s Expedient — Fortune of War changes — Cromwell refuses to take part in Disorderly Living — Death of Hampden — The two Parliaments — Battle of Marston Moor — A Letter and an Episode — Prudence and Compassion — Cromwell’s Military Character — Becomes the Real Chief — Battle of Naseby — The King’s Cabinet opened — Storming of Bristol — Glory to God! — Christian Union — Discipline — Piety — King surrenders to the Scots — Ireton — Cromwell’s Letter to his Daughter Bridget — King given up to Parliament — Cromwell’s Illness — Letter to Fairfax — Cromwell and his Soldiers — Unity of Man CHAPTER 4 SCHISM BETWEEN THE PARLIAMENT AND THE ARMY The Two Parties, Presbyterians and Independents — Claims of the Army — Joyce — The King’s Leaning towards the Independents — Army manifesto — Religious Liberty — Eleven Members accused — Errors — Influence of Oppression — Unlawful Intervention of the Presbyterians — Opposition of the Army — Independent Influence — Cromwell favorably disposed towards the King — Charles’s Blindness — Letter found in the Saddle — The Silk Garter and the Hempen Halter — Cromwell despairs of Charles — The King’s Flight — He reaches the Isle of Wight — Cromwell suppresses the Levellers — Treaty with the Scots — Charles’s Reply to Parliament — The Pit and he that diggeth it 8 CHAPTER 5 DEATH OF THE KING Parliament resolves to hold no further Communication with the King — Prayer-meeting at Windsor — Second Civil War — Royalist Insurrection — Scotch Invasion — Cromwell’s Victories — Parliament again treats with the King — Charles’s Treachery — Great Alternative — Army remonstrates with Parliament — Cromwell justified by Facts — The Woodman and the Sower — Cromwell to Hammond — Truth and Error — The King at Hurst Castle — Parliament rejects the Remonstrance — Composition of the Army — The Army at London — Pride’s Purge — Cromwell’s Hesitation about the King — Cromwell’s religious Error — Prayers — The Will of God — Death Warrant — The Execution censured — Revelation of the King’s Treason — Principles of the Roman Church — Of Milton — Charles’s Children — Cromwell to his Daughter-in-law — Cromwell and Charles’s Corpse — The European Powers CHAPTER 6 IRELAND The Irish Saint Bartholomew — Romish Cruelties — A Priest — Surgery or Slaughter — Cromwell’s Appointment — Sailing of the Army — Cromwell’s Plan — Theocracy — Storming of Drogheda, Wexford, and Ross — Peace and Prosperity — Cromwell’s charge to the Popish Prelates — Early days of Richard’s Marriage — Cause of Ireland’s Sufferings CHAPTER 7 SCOTLAND Two Kings and two Loyalties — Charles II. in Scotland — Cromwell’s Letter to the General Assembly and to the Scotch Commander in Chief — Battle of Dunbar — Dispatch to Parliament

  • Hacker Family 1880
    --------------------------.------+tJ-I-I-3JL---- I mSTORY OF mE HACKER FAMILY 1880 BY WIUJAMHACKER 1810 - 1891 SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA, USA .n •• ..n • • _ ---------_.._-_ .... 2 PREFACE At the repeated request of many of my immediate relations, the following pages have been prepared in order to give a short sketch of the lives and characters of our ancestors, in which the line through which we have descended is traced as far back into remote ages as family tradition or history will justify. In the sketches, as given, of the first five generations, the male line through which we have descended has alone been considered. While other lines of the family name, were their lives and transactions sought out and placed upon record also, might show a more honorable and elevated character than that of our own, yet I have not attempted to in­ qUire how that may be, but simply confining the present effort to the tracing out of the line of our own immediate descent. What ;s found in the following pages in regard to the times prior to 1630 is taken mainly from family tradition; yet enough is found in the writings of other historians of those times to satisfy the mind that these family traditions are reliable. Subsequent to that period, his­ tory has generally been followed, family tradition being used to connect certain historical incidents, or fill up a space of time apparently left blank by other writers. It is here but proper that I should state that these sketches have not been prepared with a view of publication.

  • Leicestershire Address to Richard Cromwell
    Annotated address from the ‘well affected Inhabitants of the Countie of Leicester’ to Richard Cromwell, 1658. Original: Bodleian Library, Oxford MS Rawlinson A. 61* I discuss this manuscript in greater detail in chapter 5 of my monograph, Loyalty, Memory and Public Opinion in England, 1658-1727 (Manchester University Press, 2019). This was one of many loyal addresses sent to the new Protector, Richard Cromwell, in the autumn and winter of 1658: a hostile compendium of these texts A True Catalogue (1659) identified 94 texts from English boroughs and counties sent to Cromwell. Loyal addresses were expressions of public support, addressed to the monarch, or in this case the Lord Protector, on behalf of a particular community. They emerged as a political form during the Cromwellian Protectorate and their origin in this era was often invoked to question their authenticity. As An Impartial Account of the Nature and Tendency of the Late Addresses (1681), sometimes attributed to the Earl of Shaftesbury, stated ‘no Applications of this nature to the Regnant person are to be esteem’d of any great weight or significancy, if you do but consider the Result of the many Addresses Three and twenty year ago to Richard Cromwell, and how they only served to render him secure till he was undermined and supplanted. For of all the Sixteen hundred thousand that vow’d to Live and Dye by him, not so much as one man drew a Sword in his favour when he came to be laid aside .’1 Certainly, Richard’s short period in office seemed to cast doubt on the sincerity of the promises made within these texts and there is also evidence that this campaign was coordinated centrally, perhaps by the Protectorate’s propagandist-in-chief Marchamont Nedham.

  • The Death Warrant of King Charles I
    THE DEATH WARRANT OF KING CHARLES I House of Lords Record Office Memorandum No. 66 House of Lords Record Office 1981 “The Mystery of the Death Warrant of Charles I: Some Further Historic Doubts” by A. W. McIntosh, OBE, MA CONTENTS Preface by the Clerk of the Records The Mystery of the Death Warrant of Charles I Transcript of the text of the Warrant Footnotes PREFACE Although constitutional documents as significant as the Bill of Rights are preserved in the care of the House of Lords Record Office, its most famous single document is undoubtedly the Death Warrant of King Charles I. In 1960 the Office published a leaflet containing a photographic reproduction of the Death Warrant, with an historical note, which has proved a best-seller in the HMSO bookshops. The note was based on the ‘received interpretation’ of the history of the document, generally known to historians in Volume 3 of the S. R. Gardiner’s History of the Great Civil War. When the leaflet was issued, the help of the British Museum Research Laboratory was enlisted in order to discover whether modern techniques such as infra-red rays would help to reveal what had been written under various subsequent insertions and corrections. Unfortunately, a seventeenth-century knife had scraped away all too effectively the top surface of the Warrant at places where new text had obviously been inserted. Gardiner’s general account was therefore left unaltered. Recently, however, the Death Warrant has been subjected to a further intensive historical investigation, and this investigation, at the very least, casts some doubts on the original Gardiner doctrine concerning the final stages in the trial of the King.

    Prof. (Dr.) Anjum Ashrafi HOD Department of History B. S. College, Danapur, Patna B.A. Part I RESTORATION 0F 1660 IN ENGLAND The Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland took place in 1660 when King Charles II returned from exile in Europe. The preceding period of the Protectorate and the civil wars, came to be known as the Interregnum (1649–1660). The term Restoration is also used to describe the period of several years after, in which a new political settlement was established. It is very often used to cover the whole reign of Charles II (1660–1685) and often the brief reign of his younger brother James II (1685–1688). In certain contexts it may be used to cover the whole period of the later Stuart monarchs as far as the death of Queen Anne and the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714. For example, Restoration comedy typically encompasses works written as late as 1710. After the Lord Protector from 1658-9 Richard Cromwell ceded power to the Rump Parliament, Charles Fleetwood and John Lambert (general) John Lambert then dominated government for a year. On 20 October 1659 George Monck, the governor of Scotland under the Cromwells, marched south with his army from Scotland to oppose Fleetwood and Lambert. Lambert's army began to desert him, and he returned to London almost alone whilst Monck marched to London unopposed. The Presbyterian members, excluded in Pride's Purge of 1648, were recalled, and on 24 December the army restored the Long Parliament.

  • ARTICLES by Peter Yerburgh Printed the Yarbrough Family Quarterly
    Volume 135 Yerburgh's Genealogy and History of the Yarbrough Family The Collected Works of Charles Peter Yerburgh, Esq., M.A., CoE Leonard S. Yarbrough, Editor June 2015 There are now more than a hundred different spellings of the family name – Yarborough, Yarboro, Yarbro, Yarber, Yarberry, Yawbry – but however the individual family spells its name, they are Yarbroughs, descendants from one of the oldest English houses. Whether we wish to admit it or not, we are the future of our ancestors, as our descendants are our future. We owe our descendants our dreams and bequeath to them the legacy of our collective accomplishments – nothing more and nothing less. To our descendants, we charge you with the honoring of your heritage. Your ancestors were hardy folk, god-fearing and plain spoken, and who recognized that nothing was due them except that which they themselves earned. They were not ashamed to profess their belief in God, their country and the American ideal. Of course, there were a few rapscallions in our collective history, but neither more nor less than in any other family. This is a collection of the articles and nomographs about the Yarbrough family, covering both the Old and New World Yarbrough family genealogy and history. Many first appeared in The Yarbrough Family Quaterly, which began publication in 1991 as a successor to The Yarborough Family Magazine. Peter Yerburgh’s contributions have greatly added to the family’s understanding of its place in English and American history. They also serve as defining evidence of the character of the individual families which comprise the collective Yarbrough family.

    THE COUNTRY-CITY "ALLIANCE" OF CROMWELLIAN ENGLAND 1658 - 1660 by Gilbert Farthing B.A., University of London, 1950. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of HISTORY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1962 s In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. ABSTRACT ii This thesis originated in an attempt to explain the Restoration of Charles II. If the Puritan Revolution had been, as it was portrayed in school history lessons, a successful revolt of "the people" against a tyrant, why was the iyyant's libidinous son joyfully welcomed-.; less than twenty years after the revolt? From reading the two major works of the past century which had specifically dealt with this period — Guizot and Davies — it emerged that "the people" had very little to do with the Revolution, and still less with the Restoration. Guizot's emphasis on the part played by General Monk obviously arose from the author's tendency to narrate events rather than probe for causes. Davies, completing the long ser• ies of works begun by Gardiner and continued by Firth, was also largely concerned with narration.
