Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, King of England, Vol. 1 of 2
Excerpt from Commentaries on the Life and Reign of Charles the First, King of England, Vol. 1 of 2
This work which was published, at intervals, many years ago, in a domestic revolution (1830 has not been unsuccessful in obtaining the sympathy of the public, probably, in a chief degree, from the novelty of its plan; and, it is to be hoped, to some extent, from the impartiality of its researches and the justness of its views. I have assuredly not written these pages as a partisan. I was attracted to the subject early in life, because it seemed to me rich in all that interests the moral speculator. I believe that I have composed these volumes solely as the history of human nature.
These Commentaries aim at forming a necessary supplement to our knowledge of an eventful ago, by investigating still controverted topics of paramount and enduring interest, and by throwing light upon personages and occurrences through the combination of secret with public history.
