Excerpt from Mary Rich, Countess of Warwick (1625-1678): Her Family and Friends
If, in spite of an effort to the contrary, I have obtruded too prominently upon the reader's attention this, the local, or Essex, side of my subject, I must plead in extenuation the claims of my native county.' In quoting from letters and diaries of the seventeenth century, I have, except in a few places where the spelling seemed too quaint or picturesque to lose, modernised both spelling and punctuation. Without this, I fear the meaning of many sentences would have been, to ordinary readers, very obscure, and the names of numerous persons and places unidentifiable. The dates in the margins are intended, mainly, to render possible a reference to the original manuscripts cited.
