History Of England From The Accession Of James I To The Outbreak Of The Civil War 1603 1642 1616 1621

Samuel Rawson Gardiner (1829-1902) was a distinguished Victorian historian of the seventeenth century who coined the term 'Puritan Revolution' and was noted for his use of and editorial work on primary sources. This ten-volume work was published in 1883-4, though he had already published eight volumes on the period 1603-37, of which the first two were considerably revised for this edition; and in later works he continued the story through the Civil War, the Commonwealth and the Protectorate. The series was highly regarded in its time, and reprinted often, although it was not without its critics. Gardiner aimed at writing 'scientific history', relying on the facts to speak for themselves. This third volume spans the period 1616-21, and includes chapters covering the Spanish marriage episode, Raleigh's last voyage, ecclesiastical issues in Scotland and England, and the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War.

Excerpt from History of England From the Accession of James I. To the Outbreak of the Civil War, 1603-1642, Vol. 3 of 10: 1616-1621 I have TO ask my readers to make two corrections in my account of the Parliament of 1614. I spoke of Montague as having been rejected by the City of London, and of Pym as having been the member for Calne. Montague, however, sat for London, and though Eliot was a member of this Parlia ment, Pym was not. The mistake was pointed out to me by Mr. Duncombe pink, who has printed in He Palatine Note Book the only existing authoritative list of this Parliament, from the ms. In the Kimbolton Library. He was good enough to send me a copy, after my own text was in type, to which I referred in a note, though I regret that I did not then verify by it the statements which I had made upon inferior authority.
