By WILLIAM GODWIN.
1.7. There is no part of the history of this Island which has been
so inadequately treated as the characters and acts •I those leaders
who bid, for the most put, the direction of the public affairs of
England front 1640 to 16.X1. The men who Spired during the
interregnum were, immediately after the Restoration, spoken of
with horror, and heir Memoirs were compared alter the aaniner
of the Newgate Calendar. What was begun from party rage has
been continued from indolence. No research has been exercised,
no public measures have been traced to their right authors ; even
the succession of judges, public officers, and statesmen, has been
lett in impenetrable Gonfasion. it is the object of the present
work to remedy dais defect, and to review the trawactions of that
period with the same calmness. impartiality, and inflexible justice,
as if they bad preceded the Universal Deluge, or bad taken place
in one of the remotest Islands of the South Sea.
