Selections from the Papers of William Clarke, vol. 2 [Back to Table of Contents] PREFACE. 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.

You are besides, Sir, materially con= nected with the county, by the important station which you have so long held in representing the town and port of Dover, to the universal satisfaction of your constituents, who, confident of your attachment to the best of kings, and the happy constitution of this country, (an attachment which you have perse= vered in with unabated constancy) have continued their approbation of your conduct by repeatedly chusing you, with the same fervent zeal, in two suc= cessive parliaments.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION. THE valuable treatise which is now for the first time committed to the press is the work of one of the most laborious and judicious antiquaries that the seventeenth century produced. Many of our countrymen, of various ranks and in various branches of learning, were indeed distinguished at that period for a wide and sound eru- dition, and for a generous devotion to historical inquiry, which have never been surpassed by any generation of scholars. It was the age which comprehended the great names of Coke and Bacon, and Camden, Selden, Somner, Spelman, Evelyn, Digby, D'Ewes, Ash- mole, Dugdale, Junius, Usher, Gill, Cotton, Savile, Whelock, and, though last not least, Twysden. Yet, amidst all this company of earnest, learned, and accomplished men, sir Roger Twysden occupies no secondary place. Like Selden and sir Symonds D'Ewes, he was engaged in the business of active political life, during the most exciting and troublous period of our history: he was a country gentleman, deeply mixed up with the affairs of his county; a careful landlord, responsible for the conduct of a large estate, and the welfare of a numerous tenantry; a jiistice of peace, and in the commission of oyer and terminer; a commissioner in the matter of ejected ministers; a deputy lieutenant at a time when lieutenancy was really a military function, and imposed other duties than wearing an uniform at a levee; last of all, he was a husband, and the father of CAMD. soc. b Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

    PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF FINANCE THE SUCCESS OF ENGLISH LAND TAX ADMINISTRATION 1643–1733 STEPHEN PIERPOINT Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Series Editors D’Maris Coffman Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment University College London London, UK Tony K. Moore University of Reading Crewe, UK Martin Allen Fitzwilliam Museum, Department of Coins and Medals University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK Sophus Reinert Harvard Business School Cambridge, MA, USA The study of the history of fnancial institutions, markets, instruments and concepts is vital if we are to understand the role played by fnance today. At the same time, the methodologies developed by fnance aca- demics can provide a new perspective for historical studies. Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance is a multi-disciplinary effort to empha- sise the role played by fnance in the past, and what lessons historical experiences have for us. It presents original research, in both authored monographs and edited collections, from historians, fnance academics and economists, as well as fnancial practitioners.
