Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell's Letters and Speeches, Vol. 1 of 5: With Elucidations HE First Edition of this Work1 having, contrary to expectation, spread itself abioad with some degree of impetus, has, as in that case was partly natural, brought me into correspondence with vaiious possessors and collect01s of Cromwell Letters; has brought obliging contributions, and indications hue and fallacious, from far sources anci from near; and, on the whole, has disinterred from their widespread slumber a variety of Letters not before known to me, or not before remembered by me. With which new Letters it became a rather complex question what was now to be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The second volume in an acclaimed biography of Oliver Cromwell, from the capture of Charles I to the expulsion of the Long Parliament In 1647, the Parliamentarians were divided. They had won the first civil war and the king was in custody, but disagreements over the way forward had led to a stalemate. As the leader of one party, Oliver Cromwell found himself again at the centre of events. In the second volume of his pioneering biography, Ronald Hutton traces Cromwell's career from 1647 through to his seizure of supreme power. These decisive years saw the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, as well as notorious and savage campaigns in Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell's political and military leadership were well honed after years of practice, but this was also the period of his greatest ruthlessness and brutality. This groundbreaking account reveals a different kind of Cromwell, showing how he navigated the many forces ranged against him--and rose to the pinnacle of his power.
