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.
