Excerpt from Oliver Cromwell: And the Rule of the Puritans in England
Tionary of National Biograpky in 1888, but embodies the result of later researches, and of re cently discovered documents such as the Clarke Papers. The battle plans have been specially drawn for this volume by Mr. B. V. Darbishire, and in two cases differ considerably from those generally ac cepted as correct. The scheme of this series does not permit a discussion of the reasons why these alterations have been made, but the evidence con cerning the battles in question has been carefully examined, and any divergence from received ac counts is intentional. The reader who wishes to see this subject discussed at length is referred to a study of the battle of Marston Moor printed in Volume XII. Of the Transactions of to Royal Historical Society (new series), and to a similar paper on Dunbar which will appear in Volume XIV. The quotations from Cromwell's letters or speeches are, where necessary, freely abridged.
