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 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.

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.

Reaches from 1622-55, though the authoress survived the restoration

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.

After returning from his travels, Herbert accompanied his relative,

but there attached himself to the king. His account of the confinement,

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:

Judicature of the Bishops in Parliament, in the Vindication of what

These memoirs were probably first edited by Littlebury, Isaac, who

Shaftesbury. The appendix to Firth's edition contains, among other
documentary evidence, letters by Ludlow concerning his services in
Ireland (1651-4) and his command at home (June 1659 to January 1660).
His exile after the restoration virtually lasted for more than thirty years;
but his Memoirs, probably written between 1663 and 1673, came to an
end with the year 1672.

Morgan was second in command of the English auxiliary force which
took part in the capture of Dunkirk. His tone is here so boastful, and
contrasts so strongly with that of his letters during the campaign ptd in
Thurloe's State Papers, that some rriters, notably Godwin, have doubted
his authorship. Genuine or not, his colloquies with Turenne are amusing
brag.

Hist. Soc. Publ. , Camden 3rd Ser. no. xiv. 1908.
Poyntz, after finding apprenticeship to trade intolerable, followed
Mansfeld to the Netherlands in 1625, and on his last march into Hungary;
was captured by the Turks; and on his liberation from slavery served in
turn under John George of Saxony and the Emperor Ferdinand II. On
his second return to England in 1645, he was appointed by the parliament
colonel-general of the northern forces and governor of York, but success-
fully defended himself against the charge of being a papist (which by his
own statement he had at one time been); see the Vindication of Colonel
General Poyntz appended to the Relation. He commanded the troops
of the city of London when it was overwhelmed by the army (1647),
and had to fly to Holland. In 1650 he accompanied Lord Willoughby
to the West Indies, where he held one or more governorships, and is
said to have died in Virginia, at an unknown date. His account of his
Thirty Years' War experiences is full of orthographical, geographical
and chronological blunders; he confounds persons, falsifies facts, and is
altogether a type of the untrustworthy eyewitness. Poyntz published a
separate Relation of the Death of Walleston, from Vienna the 8 February
1634, less graphic than the account in his Memoirs, and accompanied by
The Life and Maxims of Walleston, a short character in Clarendon's
manner-at a long interval, but not ill done. The Itinerarium of

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.

the Battle of Lutzen and the Death of Gustavus Adolphus. Ed. Egerton,

Goodman, Godfrey (bishop of Gloucester) (1583–1656). The Court of James

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.

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.

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.

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

Ludlow, Edmund, The Memoirs of. Vevey, 1698. Ed. Firth, C. H. 2 vols. 1894.
These memoirs were probably first edited by Littlebury, Isaac, who
suppressed passages reflecting on Sir A. A. Cooper, afterwards earl of
Shaftesbury. The appendix to Firth's edition contains, among other
documentary evidence, letters by Ludlow concerning his services in
Ireland (1651-4) and his command at home (June 1659 to January 1660).
His exile after the restoration virtually lasted for more than thirty years;
but his Memoirs, probably written between 1663 and 1673, came to an
end with the year 1672.

Morgan was second in command of the English auxiliary force which
took part in the capture of Dunkirk. His tone is here so boastful, and
contrasts so strongly with that of his letters during the campaign ptd in
Thurloe's State Papers, that some rriters, notably Godwin, have doubted
his authorship. Genuine or not, his colloquies with Turenne are amusing
brag.

followeth. By mee Sydnam Poynes. Ed. Goodrick, A. T. S. Royal
Hist. Soc. Publ. , Camden 3rd Ser. no. xiv. 1908.
Poyntz, after finding apprenticeship to trade intolerable, followed
Mansfeld to the Netherlands in 1625, and on his last march into Hungary;
was captured by the Turks; and on his liberation from slavery served in
turn under John George of Saxony and the Emperor Ferdinand II. On
his second return to England in 1645, he was appointed by the parliament
colonel-general of the northern forces and governor of York, but success-
fully defended himself against the charge of being a papist (which by his
own statement he had at one time been); see the Vindication of Colonel
General Poyntz appended to the Relation. He commanded the troops
of the city of London when it was overwhelmed by the army (1647),
and had to fly to Holland. In 1650 he accompanied Lord Willoughby
to the West Indies, where he held one or more governorships, and is
said to have died in Virginia, at an unknown date. His account of his
Thirty Years' War experiences is full of orthographical, geographical
and chronological blunders; he confounds persons, falsifies facts, and is
altogether a type of the untrustworthy eyewitness. Poyntz published a
separate Relation of the Death of Walleston, from Vienna the 8 February
1634, less graphic than the account in his Memoirs, and accompanied by
The Life and Maxims of Walleston, a short character in Clarendon's
manner-at a long interval, but not ill done. The Itinerarium of
Thomas Carve, Butler's chaplain and compatriot (part 1, 1639, part II,
1641, rptd 1859) is in Latin.
