Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Great Civil War, Vol. 1: 1642 1649
The volume now published was originally intended to be the third volume of The Fall of the Monarchy of Charles I.' but as an unexpected demand for the first two volumes of that work exhausted the issue, it was thought advisable to include them in a collected edition of my historical works issued under the title of a History of England from the Accession of James I. To the Outbreak of the Civil War.' As purchasers of the new edition would hardly like to begin with a third volume of the Fall of the Monarchy of Charles I shall doubtless best consult their interests by starting afresh under a new title, whilst those who have the old edition will not be much annoyed by the discovery that the second volume in their possession is the last of that series. The present work will, it is hoped, be contained in three volumes, the index being reserved for the last of the three.
