CHAPTERS VIII AND IX
HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL WRITINGS
FROM THE ACCESSION OF JAMES I TO THE RESTORATION
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
No authoritative bibliography exists of the historical and political
writings of the period treated in these chapters (in which compositions
dating from the reign of Elizabeth are only in special instances and for
special reasons included), except what is to be found in part 11, chapter VII,
of the late S. R. Gardiner and J. Bass Mullinger's Introduction to the
Study of English History, 3rd ed. , 1894. The chief extant collections of
tracts are enumerated in Section VII, under the heading Political Pam-
phlets, etc. With respect to the pamphlet and other political literature
of the civil war and adjacent period, as in other respects, the contributions
of C. H. Firth to the Dictionary of National Biography are of unique value.
A word may be added as to an interesting publication which, although
unfortunately uncompleted, covers, from its special point of view, the whole
of the period treated in these chapters. Index Expurgatorius Anglicanus,
published 1872-8, anonymously and without a title-page, and extending to five
a
parts and 294 numbers on 290 pages, is a carefully compiled catalogue raisonné
of works prohibited in England by royal proclamation, or suppressed by order
of the Star chamber or High Commission court, or of the House of Commons or
(more rarely) of the House of Lords. The collection, so far as it was issued,
extends over the years from 1523 to 1681. The earliest book noted is Simon
Fyshe's Supplicacyon for the Beggers, the next is Tyndale's translation of the
New Testament (1525). As a matter of course, the Index in the later Tudor
period includes works bearing on the succession and on the treatment of the
Catholics, e. g. cardinal Allen's Modest Answer to the English Persecutors
(condemned 1585). The Marprelate tracts are, naturally, conspicuous; among
works of literary significance, Halle's Union of the two noble and illustre
famelies of Lancastre, and Yorke, comes first; bishop Hall's Virgidemiarum
follows (1597 and 1598), with (1598) a volume containing All Ovid's Elegies by
C. X. (Christopher Marlowe) and Epigrams by J. D. (Sir John Davies). To the

reign of James I belong Wither's Abuses Stript and Whipt (1613) and
Ralegh's History of the World (1614), as well as the plays Eastward Hoe
(1605) and A Game at Chesse (1624). Sir Robert Cotton's Henry III (1627)
and D'Avenants and Inigo Jones's masque Britannia Triumphans (1637)
were prohibited in the following reign. Among publications of direct
significance for the political history of the times may be mentioned Cowell's
Interpreter (1607); A true relation of the unjust, cruel and barbarous pro-
ceeding against the English at Amboyna (1624); Montagu's Appello
Caesarem (1625); Roger Mainwaring's two Sermons on Religion and
Allegiance (1627); Prynne's Histriomastix (1633); the contributions to
the episcopal controversy of Bastwick (1635–7) and Burton (1636); and
Baxter's Holy Commonwealth (1659). Altogether, the Index notes 21 books,
plays or pamphlets published under James I, 120 under Charles I and 41
under the commonwealth and protectorates. But it must not, of course, be
supposed that the prohibition of pamphlets stands in any direct ratio to their
production; for, the more anarchy, the more pamphlets. The year 1648
(when the army sent up its remonstrance to parliament) may be taken as
an example, or, again, the masterless period of 1658–9. In the former, there
appear to have been relatively few suppressions by authority, and, in the
latter, none at all.

called Puritans then. Among the papers of interest new to the public
were Bacon's Considerations concerning the Queen's Service in Ireland
(undated) and a large number of letters from him and others to Bucking-
ham. The whole is a curious medley of foreign, home, Irish, and even
university affairs.

John Nalson (1638 ? -86), whose royalist pamphlets belong to the
latter part of the reign of Charles II, only carried his Impartial Collection
to January 1642. It is mentioned here as avowedly designed to be an
antidote to Rushworth; but the additional documents which Nalson
was allowed to copy at the State Paper Office, did not enable him to
supersede his predecessor.

John Nalson (1638 ? -86), whose royalist pamphlets belong to the

was allowed to copy at the State Paper Office, did not enable him to
supersede his predecessor.
