Prynne's Punishment.

One would naturally expect that
great social upheaval like the civil war
would produce plentiful crop of this
order of writing (tracts), and the facts
are sufficiently startling to student of
that period. A collection made by
Thomson, a bookseller, is now in the
British museum and runs to the enor-
nous length of 1900 volumes (several
tracts i'll each), the time covered being
only few years An idea of their rate
of publication may be had also from the
fact that Lilburne himself wrote nearly
100, while Prynne actually published
over 100. Among these, of course, was
the famous "Histrio Mastix," which
drew such disproportionate punishment
on the author
Prynne was dismissed from the bar,
despoiled of his university degree, pill
loried, deprived of his ears and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life, but
even i'll prison he was writing fresh
pamphlets. He was released, however,

in 1909 for his Shortest Way With
