Summary:

This volume is part of a series of selections from the papers of William Clarke, who served as secretary to the Council of the Army (1647-1649) and later to General Monck and the commanders of the army in Scotland (1651-1660). Edited by historian C.H. Firth, the collection provides a detailed account of key political and military developments during the English Civil War and the Interregnum, including the fall of Richard Cromwell, the restoration of the Long Parliament, and the lead-up to the restoration of Charles II. The documents, drawn primarily from manuscripts housed at Worcester College, offer insights into the debates among army officers and political factions about England's future governance, as well as correspondence and orders reflecting the military's pivotal role in shaping the political landscape. The work is intended for historians and researchers interested in 17th-century British history, particularly the political and military struggles of the period. Generated by AI.
