Ashburnham, John (1603-71). A Narrative of his Attendance on King
Charles the First from Oxford to the Scotch Army, and from Hampton
Court to the Isle of Wight: Never before printed. To which is prefixed
a Vindication of his Character and Conduct, from the Misrepresentations
of Lord Clarendon, by his lineal descendant and present representative.
2 vols. 1830.
Ashburnham (formerly of Peterhouse), groom of the chamber to
Charles I, was accused of having received £40,000 from the parliament or
the army, or both, but not allowed to attend the Newport negotiations as
the king's commissioner. The Vindication occupies the whole of vol. 1.
Berkeley, Sir John (d. 1678). Memoirs: containing an Account of his
Negotiation with Lieutenant-General Cromwell, Commissary-General
Ireton, and other Officers of the Army for restoring King Charles the
First to the Exercise of the Government of England. First publ. 1699, as

Miscellany, ed. Park, T. , vol. ix, pp. 466-88, 1812, and Maseres, F. , Select
Tracts relating to the Civil Wars, pt 1, 1815.
Berkeley, as a favourite of queen Henrietta Maria, by her desire entered
into a futile negotiation with Cromwell and other officers of the army as to
the restoration of Charles I's royal authority. The transaction is, in some
respects, differently told by Clarendon, who, of course, disliked Berkeley.

himself, and now first published. 1759. Ed. Powell, G. H. King's

At Scandaroon on 11 June, Digby's two ships gallantly defeated a
number of French and Venetian vessels. Digby beguiled the voyage out
by reading Spenser. See his Observations on the Ninth Canto of the
Second Book of Spenser's Faerie Queene, 1644. He also wrote Obser-
vations upon Religio Medici, 1645; frequently rptd with Sir Thomas
Browne's book.

Memorials of Some Things to be cleared during my Command in the
Army.
A clear account of military matters belonging to the years 1642-4 and
1645-8 respectively, and a truthful portrait of Fairfax himself-sincere,
modest, but incapable of asserting his personal authority at critical times.
(Fiennes, Nathaniel) (1608-69). Anglia Rediviva; England's Recovery: being
the History of the Motions, Actions and Successions of the Army under
the inmediate Conduct of His Excellency Sir Thomas Fairfax, Captain-
General of all the Parliament's forces in England. Compiled for the
public good by Joshua Sprigg. 1647. New ed. Oxford, 1854.
This work, which, though bearing the name of Fairfax's chaplain, was,
according to Walker, really written by Colonel Fiennes, goes up to the
reduction of Oxford in 1646. It is an unctuous apologia for Fairfax and a
passionate defence of the army, profuse in its praise of the action of both.
Fleetwood, George (1605-67). Letter to his Father, giving an account of
the Battle of Lutzen and the Death of Gustavus Adolphus. Ed. Egerton,
Sir Philip de Malpas Gray, in Camden Miscellany, Camden Soc. Publ.
XXXIX. 1847.
Goodman, Godfrey (bishop of Gloucester) (1583–1656). The Court of James
the First: to which are added Letters illustrative of the Personal History of
the most distinguished characters in the Court of that Monarch and his pre-
decessors. Now first publ. from the original MS by Brewer, J. S. 2 vols.
1839.
The author, after suffering imprisonment for supposed papistical
opinions, two years before his death (1655) dedicated a theological work
to Cromwell. Though not altogether favourable to the foreign policy of
James I, and opposed to his claim of absolute ecclesiastical supremacy, he
treats the king sympathetically and with warm approval of his main-
tenance of a close connection between church and state.
Newcome, R. A Memoir of Gabriel Goodman, Dean of Westminster,
and Godfrey Goodman, Bishop of Gloucester, nephew to the
above. Ruthin, 1825.
Halkett, Lady, The Autobiography of. Ed. Nichols, J. G. Camden Soc.
Publ. 1875.
Reaches from 1622-55, though the authoress survived the restoration
for nearly thirty years, and is largely concerned with the love affairs of
the writer, who, as Ann Murray, daughter of the preceptor and secretary of
Charles I (afterwards provost of Eton) was attached to colonel Barnfield,
a prominent royalist agent, but in the end was happily married to Sir James
Halkett. A simple and sincere narrative, followed by religious meditations.
Hall, Joseph (bishop of Norwich) (1574-1656). Hard Measures. Written
by himself upon his Impeachment of High Crimes for Defending the
Church of England. 1647. Rptd 1710. Concerning the imprisonment
of the bishops in December 1641 and their subsequent troubles.
Herbert, Sir Thomas (1606-82), groom of the chamber to his majesty.
Memoirs of the two last years of the reign of King Charles I. To
which is added, A particular Account of the Funeral of the King, in
a letter from Sir Thomas Herbert to Sir William Dugdale. 3rd ed.
1815.
After returning from his travels, Herbert accompanied his relative,
Philip earl of Pembroke, to Newcastle in the service of the parliament,
but there attached himself to the king. His account of the confinement,
trial, death and funeral of Charles I is full of interest.
A Relation of some yeares travaile, begunne anno 1626. Into Afrique
and the greater Asia, especially the Territories of the Persian Monarchie:

by Maseres, F. , in Select Tracts relating to the Civil Wars, vol. 1, 1815.
These memoirs, written in Normandy, after Holles's expulsion from
the House of Commons by the army in August 1647, show forth his
spleen in vehement accusations against the dominant party and its leader
Cromwell, although the writer maintains that nothing comes by chance
and that the ways of God are unsearchable. At the time of his death,
Holles was engaged in a controversy on the right of bishops to sit in
parliament, of which after his death in 1680, part was published in:
His Remains; being a Second Letter to a Friend, concerning the
Judicature of the Bishops in Parliament, in the Vindication of what
he wrote in his First; and in Answer to a Book . . . The Rights of the
Bishops to judge in Capital Cases in Parliament, cleared etc. With part
of his Intended Answer to a Second Tractate on the Bishops Right to
